DVD Reviews of CSI: Miami - The Complete Fourth Season
DVD Review: sharks, crime lab beauties and a nail gun
Summary: 4 Stars
What is most remarkable about season 4 is the amount of human interest and character development it offers. Horatio falls in love (without wanting to spoil anything there is - as is to be expected - no happy end).
Eric DELKO has a streak of bad luck - he is suspect in a narcotics investigation, he is in debt and his sister has cancer (on top of that she is also witness of a robbery turned awry - see episode DRIVEN). He also has a brief romance with new lab girl, Natalia Boa VISTA (love that name), a most welcome addition to the cast. Not only is her character charming, actress Eva LA RUE also looks gorgeous.
While I did not like his character in the previous season, this time I got used to Ryan WOLFE (Jonathan TOGO). The poor guy also gets shot with a nail gun (!) in the eye in the NAILED episode; his impaired vision will cause him lots of trouble on the job. Additional conflicts concern an annoying female reporter (a recurring character) and the crush Calleigh DUQUESNE's has on a Secret Service agent (this guy also starred in the last but one season, if I remember correctly).
So there is a lot in store for the characters in this season. As if all of this
was not enough there is a mole in the crime lab and a federal investigation is underway...
All in all I had the impression that the series is more action driven than previous seasons; particularly Horatio gets to use his gun often. A recurring theme of season 4 is the fight against the powerful and ultra-violent South American gang Mala Noche (clearly inspired by real life gang MS 13).
I also would like to give kudos to actor Rex LINN, who is great as detective Frank TRIPP. Mr. LINN knows how to portray a tough cop!
My favorite episode of season 4 is URBAN HELLRAISERS, which has juvenile criminals re-enacting a GTA-like computergame in real life. In my book a real innovative story!
The Miami locations are put to great effect as usual, this time even including a cruise ship (OPEN WATER). And I really loved the sharks!
I have mixed feelings about some episodes due to a certain slant. Take for instance 28 HOURS TO LIFE, where a young black named Tobey HOLLINS is cleared of not only one, but two murders. First he is arrested for the murder of a white woman on a yacht, only to be accused in jail of a second murder (this time of a white inmate). It turns out that the woman was shot by the yacht's prospective buyer and the prisoner was stabbed to death (with a sharpened turkey bone!) in self-defense. HOLLINS had priviously been the victim of male rape at the hand of the white prisoner. It is hard to believe that with CSI's reputation for getting all forensic/criminalistic facts right the episode's writer should not be aware of the fact that prison rape is more or less exclusively black-on-white ... That said 28 HOURS TO LIFE with its meandering storyline, which keeps you guessing throughout, and an admittedly convincing performance by the black actor, is gripping entertainment.
There are also some rather too far fetched story contrivances (e.g. two snipers, operating indepently and for different reasons at the same time at the same crime scene in the episode RAMPAGE).
And I really would love to see an episode in CSI MIAMI at least once, where the crime turns out to be a freak accident, as is regularly the case in Vegas or New York.
As usual, there are not that much extras, but they are welcome. The three featurettes detail the brainstorming, scriptwriting and preproduction process, art direction, location scouting, set building and dubbing. Really interesting stuff! Running time for the documentaries is a bit over 40 minutes.
All in all required viewing for the CSI MIAMI fan, despite political correctness and other shortcomings!
