A Major Disappointment

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is definitely a movie you want to skip. The storyline in itself isn't a bad idea. However the execution of it was terrible. You have a woman who is weak and not the most likable character. A guy fixated on her. A police force who first arrest her for assault as she was defending herself and 1 second they are making it seem like she's making it up but then, before u could blink, female cop comes in saying charges have been dropped and now he was being held. The male cop in the room who was still writing her statement acting like she's the criminal turns around and starts sympathizing with her. I mean there wasn't even a break in his writing. A complete 180 that left u with your mouth open. It got worse from there. Everyone around her are going out of their way to protect her. Yet she does nothing to help herself. And even goes as far as to get insulted when an alarm system is bought for her. Which they never set up. Jump ahead to the "climax"...... There wasn't one. Oh they caught the guy and so forth. But the way they did was so boring and such a let down that I started rewriting the final 15 min in my head so I didn't feel so cheated. These kind of stories you need to have the audience love the victim and hate the unsub. In this movie you felt nothing for neither and couldn't care one way or the other what happened. If your looking for something to do I highly recommend picking the fuzz out of your belly button rather then watch this movie.

Time Warner's synopsis indicated that the Catherine Hicks character, who owned the business the victim worked for, was the stalker. Or, would the synopsis be written by LMN? I enjoyed the movie, except for the 50% TV ad time, which is common for any network these days, including sports where they have TV time-outs. No coach or player can call THAT many time-outs. That really ruins the continuity of the game and irritates the players and coaches, but it's the 'ME' age, all for the bottom line (ex: A&E and 'Duck Dynasty').Catherine Hicks was hardly noticeable in this film. She has aged considerably since she portrayed Kathleen Turner's best friend in 'Peggy Sue Got Married,' 1986 (title based upon an obscure, but good, Buddy Holly song). Of course, I look older than I did in 1986 as well, but Catherine looks like she had a stroke along the way. I just lost my hair as most men of 72 do. I would guess Catherine Hicks is only in her early 50's unless she wasn't a teenager in 1986. I'll check out her bio.As for the film, it was good seeing Harry Hamlin long after his starring role in the legendary 'Clash of the Titans.' He has aged gracefully.The stalker was the best actor in the film. I know my review doesn't cover much of the film's content, direction, acting, etc. but what else can I say about LMN? It was a slow night for TV - no local sports teams in action. That would comprise the contrary male network, i.e. sports ARE (ESPN,Fox Sports, etc.) are the male networks.

A great TV Movie that is extremely well acted by all concerned with a very sound plot that doesn't pull any punches while tackling a difficult subject matter is how I would describe this little gem.Starring Amanda Righetti as Casey Cooper who has her life turned around when she becomes the victim of a 'stalker'. She changes from an outgoing, extrovert and confident to a young lady who is afraid to venture outside or far from her home whilst receiving the statutory hate mail and endless 'phone-calls that the Police appear to have no power OR to her and her friends NO WILL to stop. This film drives on from start-to-finish and I guarantee will have you 'supporting' poor Casey and her friends as they fight against the seeming in-action of the local Police and her 'stalker' until they are unsure which exactly is the worst of the two? A brilliant support cast includes Will Estes,Harry Hamlin, Christie Burson and Eric Smzanda

A stinging indictment of our justice system is shown in this excellent film. A woman, victimized by a stalker, can't seem to get help from authorities, and for a while, she is even under suspicion herself.Will Estes, the young Regan rookie officer in the fabulous television show "Blue Bloods," gives an outstanding supporting performance as the schizophrenic young man, who becomes a monster when he fails to take his medication.This is not your ordinary run of the mill story. The Estes character, Morgan Pierce, has plenty of political backing. It is determined that he is using his mother's name and that his father is the Lt. Governor. Naturally, the latter has used his influence to get his son out of various jams.This stalking affects the emotional, physical and psychological aspects of life for the victim. Her life is one-living hell, and the society that promulgates laws doesn't really help either.The satisfying ending tells us that something has to be done for the victims of such heinous actions.
