    The Best Episode So Far!

    I've been rushing through this series. A lot of it has been a bit 'meh', with the occasional brilliant episode. But none has matched this episode. I describe this series as an ordinary crime drama with unique characters and back stories about Castle's family, but this episode is entirely unique! I never expected such a damn near perfect episode from this show! I mean, just wow! A twist around every corner! Constant surprises, one which leaves your mouth agape! It was so intense and emotional!

    I've never reviewed a Castle episode and hardly ever review TV episodes because I don't have the time and can't put in the episode, which just goes to show how absolutely amazing this episode is! I just wasn't expecting it! This should be the highest rated Castle episode as it is just so perfect, bar the missing Castle comedy due to its dark nature.

    I'm still recovering from the intensity! Wow!

    Castle at his Best!!

    Well this is my first review. I am happy that it's for my favorite show 'Castle'. Well Let me Begin this is the best season. Believe me this is the BEST EPISODE of CASTLE. This episodes proves that Nathan Fillon is a Fantastic Actor. He really doesn't leave you disappointed . He proves that he can handle emotional roles with ease. His dialogues are clever and not over-the-top or not even chessy The Plot is very unpredictable.It's original. The direction was sharp. It didn't leave any room for any errors. The Paris sequence is shot very well. Nothing is over hyped. The action is good. This is not a Rip off of Taken. the performances by the rest of the crew is good but it is over shadowed by Fillion's Flawless Performance.

    Undoubtedly , This episode deserves a 10/10.

    Keep calm and Watch CASTLE!!

    One of the worst episodes of castle ever

    Really i am a big fan of Castle have seen every episode. But this was by-far the worst yet very poor acting by the crew supposed to be in France and even appears to be a poor rip-off of Taken. I still like castle but i felt this was the worst episode they ever filmed. Please keep castle's originality it was a good serial please revive it back to its former status.But still Nathan Fillion was good. Even the props were very poorly fashioned including the explosions. I hope Rob Bowman and Andrew Marlowe do collaborate for this show again and if they do someone please teach them to make decent episode with good acting and an original story.

    One of the best episodes to date.

    Wow. Just got done watching this episode, and it was fantastic. The acting from all, including a great job by James Brolin, was top notch. Hope to see him on the big or little screen again soon. The screenplay and production was just spot on. Nathan Fillion and Molly Quinn...terrific. The direction was such that is kept one on the edge of one's seat, and somehow was believable... not sure how it did not go over the edge to "jump the shark", but it did not. One has to remember this is fiction... like James Bond or Bourne... and within that, it rang true. I hope Rob Bowman and Andrew Marlowe continue to collaborate for this show for a long time.
