hyped garbage

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Diabolical, convoluted story dealing with the old adage that hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.It's hard to believe that because a killer gave the whereabouts of his survivors, he is allowed to walk away free from all the turmoil that he created. After all, he did kill several people including his wife and young daughter. How could a father just snap the neck of that adorable child? This is entirely too contrived to believe.The acting is good but as the dead bodies begin to pile up, you have to wonder what's really going on here.I have to say that the ending is terrific. Scott Glenn got exactly what he deserved for what he did.The film essentially deals with a wealthy man who feels he can get away with anything, a woman, his victim, who has emotional problems but is literally pushed over the edge by Glenn and societal laws that just don't make much sense.

When I sat down to watch this film, little did I know what I was getting myself into. I actually watched it on DVD and let me just tell you that this film is as long as Titanic! Phew! The storyline follows the life of a man named Peter Lake who came home one day to find his wife and daughter murdered. Fast forward ten years later the same man appears to have switched coasts (from East to West), changed names (now Martin Darius) and has remarried. The same murders that took place in NY start to occur in Sacramento where he lives and this unleashes a web of stories that span all the way from the East coast to the West in the hopes of linking him to the murders. Brooke Shields plays the unsuspecting lawyer who tries to defend him with catastrophic results and Lou Diamond Philips plays the DA who in the process of trying to debunk her case falls in love with her. This of course is just a summary of the many can of worms that are opened during the course of this very dark but engaging 3 hour TV movie.

I can't imagine that I've never seen a worse movie than this, but I can't think of one off the top of my head. I suppose it's possible that it gets better after the first ninety minutes or so, but I wouldn't know since I couldn't take any more of this film's "acting." To be fair, though, when the writing is as bad as it is in this film, even good acting can't save it. I guess somebody involved in this pile of garbage realized this early on and told the actors not to bother trying.When a supposedly highly skilled trial lawyer argues that everyone is innocent until proved guilty (as opposed to arguing that the system is based on the presumption of innocence until guilt is proved), you know the legal side of things is going to be a shambles. Fortunately the police-procedural part of the show is such a wreck, you barely notice how terrible the rest of the movie is.Avoid at all costs. It wouldn't be fair of me to refrain from pointing out that I got this for free and I still feel like I was ripped off.

I saw this mini in one viewing at the cable in Pattaya(Thailand) without any intervals, very nice.It keeps you in the dark about the identity and sex of the killer until near the end, good suspense! Good acting, a real good thriller, suspense police/detective/crime movie.Several times the plots changes, or really the viewer will change its perception of the killer.And I like stories with a little bit more body, not one hour and a little bit, no at least 2 and even better more than 3 hours.I give this movie 8/10.
