Synopsis
A smash hit from the moment of its 2000 debut, 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' has continued to remain one of the most popular, innovative, and critically acclaimed crime dramas in television history. Created by Anthony Zuiker and executive produced by movie maven Jerry Bruckheimer, the thrilling series centres on the Las Vegas Police Department's night-shift forensics unit, which utilises cutting-edge technology to solve the often grisly crimes of a city whose constant influx of visitors makes it rife with criminal elements. Heavy on science, creative camerawork, and uncomfortably graphic depictions of violence, CSI is revered by fans and critics alike for its well-drawn characters, superb ensemble cast, detail-rich writing, and gripping story-lines often inspired by real-life cases. This special two-part feature presents the CSI's fifth season finale directed and written by Quentin Tarantino. One of the CSI team is kidnapped and buried alive and the team needs to rescue him before it is too late!

Customer Reviews

Why?
Now, firstly I'm going to say that these two episodes are great, but why buy this DVD, these episodes are includes in Season 5 (either the 5.2 or the complete season 5 DVD), don't waste your money on two episodes!

The best C.S.I. episode ever!
'Grave Danger' is the gripping double-bill C.S.I. Season 5 finale and is probably the best episode so far. The story begins when CSI Nick Stokes is kidnapped while investigating a crime scene and is then buried alive in a glass casket by his kidnapper. The Las Vegas Police Department receives a package with a tape and a hardware to be able to watch a live web-feed of Nick inside the casket, together with a request of one million dollars cash to release him. Grissom's team of CSIs now have the seemingly impossible task of finding the kidnapper, and more importantly - locating Nick.

With the addition of guest director Quentin Tarantino and a cameo from Tony Curtis, this episode couldn't be better. Excellent acting all round from the usual C.S.I. cast, especially George Eads (who plays Nick) who should have won an award for his chilling and emotional acting in this episode. If you've got a weak heart or a nervous disposition, I'd perhaps avoid this episode as it is extremely tense and very disturbing, but for anyone else - I cannot recommend this episode highly enough. Whether you're watching it as part of the series or as a stand-alone "movie", C.S.I. doesn't get any better than this. Brilliant acting, brillant directing, brilliant story - just plain brilliant from start to finish!

Outstanding!
I have not being watching CSI for long, but a few weeks in i was already engrossed and i knew all the characters! Nick Stoakes being my favourite! This is a typical Tarintino! As always he brings you totally out of your comfort zone! I am ok with the guts, gore and blood that CSI usually holds, but when i am faced with Nick being buried alive, i just freaked out! As you watch CSI more and more you become immune to the idea of death and you feel nothing for the dead person as you knew nothing about them, but in this i was taken totally out of that zone and thrown into a great horror! As you watch CSI you get to know every character and when one of them is in danger, you just freak out! this is definately one to watch if you are an avid CSI watcher, if you are not it probably won't have the same effect, but CSI lovers will be on the edge of their seats with this thrilling rollercoaster! (and if you buy this you won't have to wait a week to see the second part, as I did and believe me, the end of the first one is a cliffhanger!)
