You'd think an episode with Leguizamo and D'Onofrio -both talented actors- would be a great place to start. Think again.
D'Onofrio plays a clichéd hood written as a dull, lifeless archetype who you know from the second you see him, is bound for the gallows. Leguizamo plays the same hood who -in a previous episode- had killed his sister/Tubb's lover and his baby. We're supposed to believe Calderon is powerful enough to virtually own a Caribbean island, but too stupid (or cheap) to do anything more than send 2 dime store heavies to help him get his own hands dirty in the killing of Tubbs. If this guy was a) smart and b) powerful, would he not send an army of well trained thugs or at least one professional assassin to wack Tubbs? Completely implausible plot.
Beyond the implausibility, the writing is thin, clichéd and insulting. Considering Crockett spends a microscopic amount of time in the opening sequence, one can only assume Don Johnson was on holiday. Then again, the entire staff of MV was probably on holiday for this one since it feels as if they sent in the B-unit to put something together at the last minute.
I want to know how yarborough can keep a straight face as he continues to spout off about how he feels there weren't any bad episodes in season 3. Are you kidding me, pal?
