El perfil de un asesino

OK, so I'm used to these movies following a formula; they all do. But this one had just about all of them in it. What else is there to say? You know who is going to get hurt or killed, you know the good guy won't know that the bad guy is bad until the last few minutes of the movie, and you have a quick, far-fetched ending where everyone lives happily ever after. There is more, but I don't want to waste more of my time pointing out every plot point that is common to these movies. Did I cite any spoilers? Not for anyone who has ever seen a Lifetime movie before.

There isn't even an attempt at any originality here. Even the title followed the Lifetime pattern. The writers just picked some formulaic plot points from column A and column B, mixed them together, and create a thoroughly predictable movie.

Even for a Lifetime movie, this one was disappointing. Some of them at least try to be a bit different, even if in only small ways. This one did not.

The movie was okay, but that's not what I'm writing about. I'm extremely disappointed that Eric Roberts wasn't listed as a cast member. Eric Roberts has acted in many many movies, many more movies, I'm sure, then the other actors in this movie. And yet he was not listed as a member of the cast. He played the part of the ex-husband and he should have been included. This was wrong.

I really enjoyed this movie, which is a dark thriller. Consistently believable characters and good acting; the leading actress, Kate Watson, stands out in her honest, genuine portrayal of a recently divorced mother. This type of online dating fiasco happens frequently and the plot is based upon a true story, so it's completly believable. Bravo to cast and crew!

Enjoyed this movie with the family recently. The leading actress played a convincing role as newly divorced woman who meets up with the wrong guy. These two lead actors held the movie together. Kate Watson shined in this role. We'd love to see her in more movies!

I may not be the best person to review Her Deadly Groom, as it is the only Lifetime movie I've ever seen. However, compared to the usual made-for-television fare on other networks, the movie holds its own. The cast was professional. I was surprised to see Eric Roberts in this film, but he underplayed his role competently. Kate Watson as Allison was stuck with a part that would be difficult for any actor. It is hard to believe that her character is a bright entrepreneur when she is so slow on the uptake about her murderous new boyfriend. Michael DeVorzon is convincingly creepy as Vincent Black. The always dependable Kelly Erin Decker makes the viewer wish Brenna could be his/her best friend, as well as Allison's.

Production values were good with a nice mix of interior and exterior scenes, all well lighted and photographed. The editing, however, seemed severe. When I described this film as "Fast paced," I wasn't necessarily being positive. There are no lulls in the plot; it is constantly moving. Unfortunately, it felt as if characterization and plot development were sacrificed to keep the action going.

So, if you get a chance to see Her Deadly Groom, you definitely won't be bored, but you might find the plot difficult to believe.
