I'm always surprised how many good looking people work in law enforcement.
Those credits look more like one of the CSI clones.
The new "Five-O" team resembles the Mod Squad more than a state police force. Only Scott Caan exudes any kind of bad-assery and if he's got half the chops his old man does, then he'll be the best thing about this show.
As for the gender flopping of Kono, they could've at least hired a 300lb Hawaiian actress for the part, as a nod to the original.
Alex O'Loughlin??? God help us.

Yet another old TV series-based movie that will probably suck, and that I won't be seeing theatrically.
They're a plague!
Was the original Hawaii 5-0 so formulaic?
Stern commander (McGarrett) Check.
Loose cannon younger officer (Danno) check.
Gorgeous female officer who is just as competent as the men (Kono) check
token minority/off-beat officer (Kim's character) check.
I agree with Dodge. Perhaps they should just call it CSI: Hawai'i.

And fifty-one years of statehood and the Hawaiians don't get on the "team"??? The guy from the Neo-Gilligan's Island just keeps his suitacses unpacked???
This show just reeks of marketing for the all-important 18-35 group.
As to O'Loughlin's rise to the top of Five-O, I'm sure that there would be plenty of police officers who've served as long as O'Loughlin's been alive would be none-too-pleased at being passed over for that job!
On the Jimmy Kimmel Show, the host said to O'Loughlin: "You're in the new Five-O; you're playing Jack Lord."
Ha! Not "You're playing Steve McGarrett" but rather "You're playing Jack Lord"!!! Proof, as if anyone needed it, that Jack Lord IS Steve McGarrett!!!
As to the real, original Hawaii Five-O, just ordered the eighth season DVD; on sale at Amazon.
Who was the Chinese bad guy (not Wo Fat) that always seemed to be saying 'I'll get you McGarrett!'
Not a movie without him....
Its not a movie, its a new TV show.

Any show with Grace Park in a bikini is okay in my book!

If Alex O'Loughlin becomes a big star, will people in the tabloid/mainstream media (they're one and the same,,,) refer to him as "AOL"?
That's okay, I still won't watch it.
