Reviews

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
rgcustomer One of the recommended films IMDb offered up for this movie, which I saw under the Lethal Obsession title, was Die A Little. It's an appropriate choice, because it reflects the feeling you get after having watched this film. A little bit of your life is gone forever. It's a cross between soft-core straight porn, a typical stalker movie, and an episode of Cheaters, with some freaky almost-sexual sibling love thrown in. And some remarkably bad acting, bad music, bad dialogue, bad costume and makeup, truly bad hair, and general badness all around. Anyone familiar with Canadian pay TV will be able to predict the logos that appear in the end credits. It's always depressing to know you paid twice for the film, once via taxation and again via your cable bill. Nevertheless, it's a better result than usual for that kind of funding. It actually gets a 6 from me, which shocks me more than anyone else, because there are some interesting parts of the story. But if there's a next time, it better be better than this.
vchimpanzee At the start of the movie, a house explodes. Outside in a car, someone watches, covered like a Middle Eastern woman in a burqa.More than 20 years later, Nina is married to Stuart, a Chicago doctor. She runs a medical publishing business with her friend Karen, and she has two children, April and Brandon. Isabelle takes care of the children. Stuart is cheating on Nina with Miriam, a beautiful doctor who calls Nina "The Ice Queen".Nina finds out from Mary that her grandmother in Buffalo is sick. Nina suspects her brother Drew is with Mary and claims she will not come. But Nina does visit her grandmother, claiming to her family that she is traveling to New York on business; she even brings the kids souvenirs.Drew is quite charming and a good liar, and when that isn't enough, he threatens violence. If he has to in order to reach his goals, he will even kill.When Drew shows up in Chicago, Stuart is happy to see him, though somewhat confused as to why Nina would deny having a brother. The kids like him too, and he likes them. The fact is that Nina (known to those in her past life as Marcia) has moved many times to keep her brother from finding her. And now that Drew has found her, Nina hires private detective George Friezen to find out about him and her college boyfriend Brent.What is so terrible about Nina's past that she will go to this much trouble? Why is Drew such a threat to her?There's nothing that special about his movie. I've always like Kellie Martin, but she doesn't really seem like herself here. I suppose Adam MacDonald gives the standout performance as Drew. I liked the car rental agent, whatever her name was. And Karen.There is some violence, but nothing really explicit. For those who enjoy this sort of thing, a beautiful woman exits the shower, sees her man and drops her towel, and then a camera moves slowly from her feet at the end of the bed past the sheet that covers only what broadcast TV requires until finally reaching her head. Despite the kids and the kid-friendly movie they watch, this movie is not for children.I enjoyed it enough.
