QUANTICO RULES

It takes an ex-FBI agent like Gene Riehl to spin a tale that feels so authentic. And actor David Colacci delivers just the right degree of cynicism and toughness to our antihero, Puller Monk, who is embroiled in the background in-vestigation of a Supreme Court nominee, as well as in his own troubled personal life. Colacci moves the story along seamlessly, flirting with but never falling into the trap of overplaying a macho character like Monk. In fact, his vulnerabilities become his strength as he witnesses violence, brutality, and lies while dealing with a bagful of his own problems. D.J.B.
