One of the best episodes, especially for the wonderful acting of Lou Taylor-Pucci
31 December 2011
CRUISE TO NOWHERE - a great episode of L&O: CI, is really a place for Lou Taylor Pucci (Joey Frost) to shine.

I first became familiar with Lou through this episode. His character - a young poker-playing genius, with the mentality of a little boy is riveting.

One reason I love this series, Is Vincent D'Onofrio's brilliant portrayal of Det. Robert Goren. His off-kilter performance, is what ensnared me, originally, and, I'm sure a lot of other faithful L&O:CI watchers.

It is nice to see a performer with Mr. D'Onofrio's skills work with someone else, such as Pucci, whose work is just as riveting.

Since this episode, I've tried to better familiarise myself with Pucci's work, one of which, is the film THUMBSUCKER, in which Pucci's character, a shy, introverted young man, is the polar opposite of the brash, Joey Frost.

As an episode of this great series, and, in particular, a tour de force for great acting, CRUISE TO NOWHERE is at the top of my list.
