Left for Dead

You know that joke Family Guy made about Lifetime movies? The one suggesting they make women out to be victims and men out to be bad people? I'm not sure a joke has ever been more accurate.

I honestly have no idea why I keep finding myself watching them, it's not that they're bad they're just so darn paint by numbers. Once you've seen one you've seen them all, they're just cheap to make made for television nonsense.

Here we have a woman involved in a car accident, she awakens with amnesia and has to piece together what happened while certain parties in her life conspire against her.

Again you'll have seen it all before, it offers no surprises, no twists you won't have worked out for yourself and no real competence in the cast. This right here is cookie cutter filmmaking.

For fans of Lifetime and literally nobody else.

The Good:

Harmless stuff

The Bad:

Impressively unoriginal

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Hardened criminals with no problems murdering children will not smoke around them for moral reasons

Kidnapped kids behave for their captors perfectly, acting so normal you'd think nothing had happenedLeft for Dead: More mundane Lifetime stuff

I gave it a 3 but that's too high I guess. This is a complete mess of a movie. Tha characters {mainly Laura and Rick} are such dumb idiots. Everything they do makes me want to scream. Rick makes and answers phone calls but that's about i. He's going to protect her and save her. Why not get the cops together? Laura makes the same crazy mistakes over and over. Waste of 2 hrs.

This is a really bad one, the opening scenes are just ridiculous . From the start mother and daughter were annoying , I mean what 8 year old says that she needs to use the potty ?

Then we have a car crash, an unintentional kidnapping of same child ,and mother loses her memory !

And so on and on ....it is boring , it is irritating and why I kept watching is beyond me !

Skip this , I urge you !

So bad. Don't even bother. Three stars was being nice.

This movie wasn't that bad! It's Lifetime caliber of course, so manage your expectations. But ultimately it had plenty of action, a compelling plot, and excitement. My one criticism would be that it ran too long. If they trimmed out maybe 20 minutes it would've been a lot better.
