WHITE COLLAR TV SERIES (2009)

This is one of MANY TV Series which I watched recently. I first watched this on my way to Surabaya via airplane. The overview of this movie really caught my attention. I really like a kind of action movie: especially when a bad guy becoming a "good" guy but actually we all know that habits die hard, so a bad guy is actually still a bad guy deep inside. Haha.

Plot :

Neal Caffrey, a con-man, forger and thief, is captured after a three-year game of cat and mouse with the FBI. With four months left while serving a four-year sentence, he escapes from a maximum-security federal prison to find Kate, his ex-girlfriend. Peter Burke, the FBI agent who initially captured Caffrey, finds him at a dead end in his search and returns Caffrey to prison. This time, Caffrey gives Burke information about evidence in another case; however, this information comes with a price: Burke must have a meeting with Caffrey. At this meeting, Caffrey proposes a deal: he will help Burke catch other criminals as part of a work-release program. Burke agrees, after some hesitation. Through the successful apprehending of several white-collar criminals, Caffrey has proven to Burke that he will help him, and that he will not try to escape again. This begins an unconventional, but successful partnership.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

Things I like in this movie:

1. Forgery as the main topic. Forgery is the process of making, adapting, or imitating objects, statistics, or documents (see false document), with the intent to decive. The similar crime of fraud is the crime of deceiving another, including through the use of objects obtained through forgery. Even though I know that this is a criminal act, BUT I couldn't help thinking that the process of making it (such as painting etc) is kind of art. To be forger, you need skill and knowledge. It's not an easy thing to get. You also need a desire to do that. What's the different of the forger and the artist?

2. The plot of the story is also good. Funny and enjoyable. Even though I think that they're mostly forgettable. But, like I said, It's easy to watch it especially for people who appreciates intelligent and witty TV. This show has something for everyone. The story line is not at all predictable. You want to watch how this might end.
3. The two main characters in this movie. (As usual). What the most important thing to make a movie enjoyable is the cast. And in this movie, they're :
Tim DeKay is pitch perfect as the agent who lives his job. He has a kind of "Tom Hanks meets young Jack Lemmon" quality that is spot on for the tone of the show. He's written as real guy in a tough spot. He truly loves his wife, but tireless dedication to "the job" causes him to forget anniversaries, and regularly arrive home after his wife is long 'a bed. His wife Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) often eats dinners alone... well, sort of.









Matt Bomer, soon to be a household name, vaults from his supporting role of Bryce on "Chuck" straight into a major lead role that fits him like a glove.. like he was born to do this. Along with class A hunky good looks, Bomer also has a vulnerable quality that is quite touching. Ladies, he's Oooo so cute, slick, smart and gosh darn lovable, that your significant other may actually allow you to gaze...
