The crime drama's third season takes on a darker and edgier tone, as it opens with the Machine missing and completely self-governed. Root (Amy Acker) has been confined to an insane asylum but is in constant contact with the Machine, while Finch (Michael Emerson) finds himself in a position where he's no longer the Machine's sole human contact. Meanwhile, Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Shaw (Sarah Shahi) continue their work preventing crimes from happening with the help of their usual NYPD contact, Det. Fusco (Kevin Chapman); and Carter (Taraji P. Henson), who has been demoted from detective to a uniformed police officer, wages a very personal war against the corrupt police organization HR. At the same time, new threats against Team Machine come to light, including Vigilance--a watchdog group committed to exposing overreaching government surveillance methods--and Decima Technologies, who tried and failed to take control of the Machine in the previous season and are now going to extreme measures to bring another surveillance system called Samaritan online.
I really like the show. The relationship between the characters seems to be very well thought out and comes across that way. I was sorry to see Carter murdered, but the show goes on.
This release from the explosive Cinemax series Strike Back includes the show's entire third season, following the story an American and British special agent, who form an unlikely duo to track criminals across the continent of Africa.

All in all, I loved the movie. It was a good origin story. I would like to see more monster action in the sequel though. I know many people were dissapointed because it wasn't a Transformers like Godzilla movie with fighting for the entirety of the movie but I feel that the sequel and the last installment of the Legendary series will have just that. I do not want to give away any plot so I will say that the first hour and 20 minutes mainly revolves around the character development with some Monster scenes thrown in here and there but the last 40 to 30 minutes contains more action. It is not the best Godzilla movie ever made, but i personally believe that this is a great reintroduction and start of a new vision of the king of the monsters.
This release brings together every episode from the first season of Strike Back, an action series about two special forces agents - one British, one American - who team up to stop a number of international terrorist threats.
24 off the air! The Border off the air! Spooks in the final season! Caught Strike Back on Cinemax and it is great to watch a series with a budget that is not hampered by US censors. Violence galore, nudity and a very interesting plot. Strike Back may not have the complexity of Spooks, though with much more in your face violence, it is like 24 on steroids with some of the witty dialogue reminiscent of the last 2 seasons of The Border. As this is done in a serial format, watching in a few sittings would be like a really long non stop action movie. Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed this movie! It contained different cultures and their fighting styles, excellent coriagraphy, beautiful scenery, and a good story in my opinion of the evil corruption and desire for power that rulers inevitably seek.
