A Date with Danger

This is typical and generic thriller made-for-TV flick about a new-in-town woman, whose friend and boss goes missing, and she suspects that her obsessive boyfriend might have something to do with it.

This movie uses the most predictable formula for its plot, so, there is really nothing new as far as surprises, twists, and suspense are concerned. However, the acting isn't half bad and the mystery surrounding the story's premises might grab your attention at least somewhat. While it's not award-winning material, it's not a bad, mindless movie to pass the time with. At least you don't have to overly use your brain to follow the story elements like you have to so much of these motion pictures that Hollywood dishes out nowadays.

Grade B-

You would not miss anything by skipping this one.

Overall everything is mediocre at best. From production, acting, storyline, etc.

Watch something better.

Single mom Nikki Hansen and her daughter move to a new town and she meets divorced mom Liz Cole who she ends up working for. Nikki also meets Gavin, a coffee shop owner, who also dated Liz but they broke up because he was too possessive. Suddenly, Gavin sets his sight on Nikki and it's all downhill after Liz turns up missing. What happened to her? Movie has a lot of twists and turns but a good Canadian cast supports the movie, Jamie Spilchuk especially good as the "baddie". Highly recommended!

I am giving 2 stars for casting a POC (unfortunately styled as a poor man's Halle Berry). Otherwise I hated this movie so much I needed to write why.

Lead actress: Not very good and her character was so dumb and pathetic. The puppy dog eyes throughout , all while the guy is clearly crazy and obsessive was just too much.

Gavin: An even worse actor than the woman. Again, the character was written so poorly and OTT.

A lot of the characters' behavior made no sense, the ending was laughable. I kept watching just to see how bad it could be! A new low for Lifetime.

Typical poor quality movie. Much like, but worse than, a Lifetime movie. Boring. Another poorly produced Canadian film.
