Dialogue, acting, direction, casting... all appear decidedly below par.<br />As someone born and still living in Edmonton, Alberta, Western Canada, I found it particularly jarring why that geographic location should be repeatedly emphasized.

But I do think there was a good take-away. People's lives are complicated. We all have interactions that might look suspicious at first in the middle of an investigation.

Not only did she seem tired, she also seemed rude and aggressive. She yelled at the hotel manager twice--once when she slammed the hotel room door in his face, and again when she barked at him to leave the computer room in the hotel. The guy seemed a little annoying, but he certainly did not deserve verbal abuse.

It's her JOB. You have to be professional [ btw actors speak well of her] or be fired.

I mean she has three kids age 6 and under she is going to be tired.
