Voice-over Guy & Woman: F Onscreen Interviewer Guy - C- Christopher Walken Guy - A- Geraldo Rivera Expose - A+ Overall - C. The whole web of Staten Island mysteries portrayed is incredibly intriguing, and that's the only reason to see this one through. The methodology, interviewing, and over-the-top, cliche-ridden, and leading voice-over all render this an amateur effort. I'm sure the kids meant well. But, Geraldo!
