Stressed to Death

This is the worse acting i have seen on Lifetime! The father was indeed the worse.

BEST LIFETIME MOVIE EVER 10 OF 10 STARS & TAYLOR BLACKWELL IS THE BEST ACTRESS EVER

Everyone sucks at acting in this movie, the plot is stupid, mom is weak and makes poor decisions, daughter is an idiot, dad is dumber than a doorknob, the villain is unconvincing and boring, and the hitmen are comical.....only redeeming character may be Alston because he was semi good looking. 0/10. I like bad lifetime movies usually but this was BAD bad.

A poorly conceived premise (not worth repeating here) gives way to a lot of shouting, soapy drama, threats of gunfire, shootouts, bleedouts and an awful lot of grey duct tape to restrain the abducted (gag, bind wrists & ankles, slit with knife and run away...gag, bind wrists & ankles, slit with knife, run away....rinse & repeat...yada yada).

As the main protagonists/antagonists are in a heightened state of emotion throughout this yarn (rage, panic, anger, reunion joy, aforementioned PTSD accompanied by brain fog - and that's brain fog for the poor 'bar stewards' who find themselves watching this big fat turkey that won't squeeze into the oven!) there's little to engage the viewer on an intellectual level, ermmm...you know, witty banter and a gripping narrative with intriguing plot points...I suspect rookie writers worked on this gem of a stinker.

If this is the Primal Scream pyscho drama as a TV flick, then it's one of the weakest TV flicks I've seen in a very long time! My other reviews testify to that fact.

The 1 out of 10 rating delivered by many reviewers is well-deserved.

I am still not sure that this « thing » is really a movie. The scenario is silly as hell, the actors are incredibly bad and the Director is definitely amateurish. Avoid. At all cost!
