Impúdica

Terrible movie. Terrible writing, acting, pacing. Milano should really just ride the little fame she has from her childhood years and let it be because she's not a good actor. So knowing that, I didn't expect much but it was even worse than imagined. But if you've really nothing better to do, give this movie a shot. You might like it better than I did, but I won't bet on that.

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.

The only word I can think of to describe this film is: moist. Due to the subject matter and themes, this film should have been darker and many avenues could have been taken with it, but it reminded me of those basic thrillers you see on Lifetime (or Channel 5 in the UK). So many more twists could have been thrown in. I expect better from Netflix. It didn't have enough suspects, and so it was quite predictable and a little flaccid. I do like Alyssa Milano however, I think she's a good actress and this film was really a waste of her talent. I see it was based on a book which I've not read, so I'm unable to make comparisons, but the book has to be better than the movie, right?

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?!

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.
