I was hoping for something more out of this, but it really wasn't that fabulous for me. The story focused more on the mystery with a relationship as a side story (which is totally fine), but there was a ton of potential to really explore the dynamics of their relationship, and that was ignored. I didn't really get any true connection between Tom and Eli or understand what it was that made them like each other. Also, even though I don't mind hitting the "I Believe" button every now and then, Tom (being an actor who plays a detective) totally thought it would be OK for him to stop a HUGE planned robbery like his character would without informing the police. As much as I love Neil Patrick Harris, if he tried to operate on me, I think I would have to run away. There are some things that should be kept with the professionals. Not to mention that everything worked out SO perfect. I get that it was a short story, but I really felt like it needed a bit more to feel whole. And slightly more believable.

This was really a 2.5 star story for me, but I will round up. ( )
