Verlorene Liebe

This is disappointing to watch. We've watched a lot of films featuring Alyssa Milano. And these are good ones while Alyssa is a competent actress. So, watching this film was an unpleasant surprise. The plot is predictable and it lacks that certain oomp and excitement that you'd normally expect from a good thriller or a police procedural. And that love story between Grace and Ed seems so campy. At least, Melachi Nair as Ben made me smile. He's subtly funny in his role as police detective.

Absolutely dreadful. Felt like I was watching an old 80's Lifetime movie. It's like it was only made to show off Alyssa's boobs. And if that is what Nora Roberts books are like, count me out. Doesn't seem like I'm missing much. Skip this one, don't waste your time. There wasn't one moment of suspense.

I can't believe I sat through the whole movie. Everything about it was so fake. I didn't see characters, I saw actors playing a part, reading lines, repeating scenes over and over again. The story itself could have been interesting but the acting and especially the dialogue were so bad! Alyssa Milano looks awful in this movie. Terrible performance on her part, really. The chemistry between her and Sam Page didn't feel right either. Too many scenes were repetitive (and redundant). Some were just happening for the sake of the story, like the part where Grace is becoming a consultant (I mean, come on!). Everything about this movie was really fake. Nothing felt authentic, not the love, not the anger, not the sadness, not even the so called "revelations". It was so stiff, nothing was fluent. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Or maybe read the book. I haven't read it but it's got to be better than this. Another failed Netflix production, but what else is new?!

Brazen is a Netflix movie about a famous murder mystery writer played by Alyssa Milano who moves back home only to face a murder close to her family. A serial killer who kills dominatrix girls and one of them ends up being Milan's sister. The story was very clumsy, I solved who the killer would be in the first ten minutes of the movie. Sam Page who always portrays the love interest in most of the Hallmark Christmas movies is the badass cop, next door neighbor who falls in love with Milano. This was such a B rated movie that I couldn't wait for it to end. Skip this one, don't waste your time.

Surprisingly bad acting, bad plot, loose ends and I want my 1h36m back. I haven't read it but I can guarantee that the book is better because this movie was a trainwreck.
