I've watched L&O:CI a few times. I've yet to see the resident "genius" come up with enough viable evidence to sustain an indictment, much less a conviction. Fortunately for him we never see the trials and all the murderers that walk because of the "genius's" inability to build a convincing case.

It's only a movie.

there is, of course, a dazzling, if improbable, interrogation scene featuring Vincent D'Onofrio as "CI's" resident know-it-all - I love the actor, but the character's working on my last nerve

I rarely agree with Ellen Gray, but I must agree with her here. I love the actor but the character is very annoying. The man knows EVERYTHING. He apparently speaks all languages, even the dead ones. I'm sure he has broken out a bit of Aramaic, Syriac, whatever. He knows EVERYTHING and it is annoying. This kind of thing makes me root for the bad guys.

Holla! I completely agree. Week after week I keep thinking that if I were the defense attorney, I could win the case.
