This movie was rather boring to me. It's not the fault of any of the actors (they did a good job). It's more the fault of the screenplay. It was hard for me to stay focused during the two-hour runtime.

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. LOST AND FOUND
A nine-year-old's father, wanted in connection with a cold case murder, goes missing. The NCIS team baby-sits the boy as the father leads them into the wilderness for a startling discovery about his past.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode. I like how this show always portrays kids. And I really got a kick out of how they made this one like a young Tony DiNozzo. And how everyone seen it... except for Tony. The story itself was really good too.

My Rating:

10. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
A violent, delusional Marine, believing he's still in Iraq, escapes from a hospital in the U.S. After a violent confrontation, the NCIS team realizes too late that the soldier is the subject of a secret experiment.

My Thoughts:
While I enjoy this one... it is not a favorite. This one just didn't keep my attention as much as most others have.

My Rating:

11. TRIBES
The investigation into the mysterious death of a Muslim Marine is delayed when Ducky refuses to autopsy the Marine because of the soldier's religious beliefs.

My Thoughts:
This one is really nothing more then an average episode. While it was intresting to see the diverse religous beliefs... the story itself left a bit to be desired.

My Rating:

12. STAKEOUT
The NCIS team sets up a stakeout to catch a suspected thief, but Instead they witness a murder. Uncharacteristically, Ducky keeps a secret from the others.

My Thoughts:
A good episode. The story keeps your interest... and there is some fun to be had. Especially liked how paranoid Ziva was on Tony getting even with her for the practical joke she pulled.

My Rating:
