Prisoner of Love

This movie is so bad I don't even know where to start at. Now, in all fairness the actors were pretty good it was the writing and directing that was just horrible. The story was so boring and blah. Save your time and don't watch this. I promise you'll regret it. This story had so much more to tell and they dropped the ball. The writing was so FLAT THE STORY WAS FLAT. This is based on a true story and it felt like the worst story ever told. Nicholle Tom, was really good and so was Adam Mayfield. This is possibly the worst Lifetime movie ever made. Now I know to stay away from anything directed or written by this cast.

I kept up with this case from the beginning as I don't live far from Florence, Alabama. I feel like the movie does not portray what actually happened. There was a 911 call that provided information as to the states of mind of Vicky and Casey. This was not in the movie. The film took some liberties with the hotel scenes. No one knows what happened except Casey and he's not talking about the private moments they shared.

The real jail is in the middle of the city - not out in the boonies. The acting is subpar. I feel like this is a story that would make a great movie, but this is not that movie.

After about 30 seconds, I realized this was a true story and that I had actually watched footage on the news when the escape happened.

Nicholle Tom of "The Nanny" fame plays a prison administrator who falls in love with a prisoner (Adam Mayfield) and helps him escape in "Prisoner of Love" - guess what, a Lifetime tv movie.

If you know the story, it's a sad one of a lonely, unfulfilled woman, Vicky, who wants some happiness. The prisoner starts flirting with her right away. They do plan an escape, but it takes two years to carry it out.

We know what happens. But I have to believe that for Vicky (Tom) those few days of living out her fantasy was worth it.

I wish big budget movies would be made like that. A lot of talking, but not overtalked. Psychological thriller. Filmmakers think we need action, due to our brains being spoiled by social media, but tha'ts not true, cinema is lacking psychological thrillers, especially those based on true stories. There's plenty of stupid fake stories, while life brings unbelievable scenarios. Anyway, to the movie. I don't think those law grades are fair, the actors are great, the directing is not cringy, this is a really good movie. Also, when you raise the reliability problem, you need to try to undersand the vulnerabillity of a person that is so hunry for love that they stop seeing things rationally. It si a good movie and. Nicolle Tom is fantastic, so is Adam Mayfield.

First, Florence, AL is in the middle of the city not the woods. They drove through the city to the Academy Sports parking lot.... Still city. The fact they added the tanning bed to the whole thing just for giggles... Well that was hilarious. You'd have to hear the former employee's interview about her to understand the joke. She was not a victim and they make Casey too smart and too attractive for that role. He is more of an oversized Elmer Fudd fellow. Word for word, the whole movie was EXACTLY what the news reports all told. Basically, they compiled the reports for the script. And lastly, the sheriff of Lauderdale County is an old white Boss Hogg looking man....and yet here we have replaced him with not an old white Boss Hogg looking man... Many, many inaccuracies. It makes my home area look like a train wreck.
