After seeing the WISEGUY Mel Profitt box set on shelves, and wanting it so bad, I finally threw down the plastic and took it home.
So, now I finally have Kevin Spacey’s early important TV appearances in my collection, but not much else.
Wiseguy seems to have all the drama of Love Boat. I was bored. The production values were, cheap. Early in the arc arson is being committed and it is ALL too obvious that we’re watching a couple of pressed wood panels burning far away from the building that is supposedly in flames.
Another time, many rounds are being fired through the flimsy walls of a mobile home, but an even flimsier table protects the good guys.
Kevin Spacey is always great to watch, but would be so much better if he actually had some other talent to work with. Sadly he vanishes after 2 discs of this 4 DVD set.
Ken Wahl and William Russ were trained in the Look Constipated and Then Yell For Awhile School of acting.
A nice surprise on Disc 3, 19-year-old Traci Lords in her first TV appearance.
As in indication of how out of the business Ken Wahl is, he does not appear in the Extras interview section. We are fortunate to get 17 minutes with Spacey.
If you want this, look for a used copy. Why didn’t I?
