Damaged

Still youngish-looking high school teacher Chris Klein (as Sam Luck) has a nice suburban home. Also the possible co-owner of a diner with his best pal, Mr. Klein is happily married to sweet, understanding and attractive Tasya Teles (as Kate). Klein's luck changes quickly when seductive Merritt Patterson (as Taran Hathaway) moves into a house across the street. The mature-looking teenager begins putting the moves on Klein. She has black-and-white flashbacks to some trauma involving her mother (apparently) and a sexual companion (apparently). Incredibly, Ms. Patterson turns out to be one of Klein's high school students. Naturally, you think Klein won't easily risk his job and beautiful wife to engage with the nutty woman. Think again. Neither does anyone involved with the production do anything to make their "Damaged" assignment remotely believable, or even fun.

That was the worse movie I ever!!! Started out good then only took like 15 minutes to start to suck, got so annoyed with it that we fast forwarded to the end just to be even more annoyed and disappointed with how crappy of an ending it had too!!!! I was so excited to watch this movie, I hate this movie, its stupid I have to write at least 10 lines to post my review so I guess I will just keep saying again and again it sucks soooooo bad. was good for 15 minutes max then went down hill very fast, awful plot line, the description of the movie is misleading too, says nothing bout how stupid and screwed up in the head the dumb girl is, they make you think they will have an affair when that doesn't happen,! ONCE AGAIN....VERY VERY Disappointed WITH THIS MOVIE!!!!!

Crazy people might think this ridiculous plot of revenge is great but it sucks from the near beginning, after the girl goes nutty when he's trying to fix the sink, and he gets no red flag message!! So he happily drives around in her alleged dad's BMW, and accepts a Rolex watch from her, and gets everything the idiot deserves.

Being derivative the film makes no attempt to create genuinely believable acts of life sabotage. Instead it relies on a pathetic, weak, incredibly stupid teacher at the receiving end of implausible mishief.

I have seen many many Lifetime movies over the years. Some have been downright crap, some have been ok, many have been good with very predictable endings, few have been excellent and fewer still have been outstanding. This movie is one of those very very rare outstanding movies with a very un-Lifetime movie ending. The storyline was excellent, the never-ending-tension was first class and the acting very good (massive big-ups for the outstanding Merritt Patterson as Taran Hatherway). I can count on one hand the number of outstanding Lifetime movies I have ever seen. This movie without a shadow of a doubt is one of them.

Ultra highly recommended!!!!

For a Lifetime Movie, this score is really a ten. We all know they are our guilty British Colombian pleasure and not of the highest cinematic quality. Secondly, let me tell you have seen a few dozen lifetime movies with my wife (yes I am a man), I can say without reservation this is the BEST one I have seen. I am not the biggest Chris Klein fan, but he was pretty decent in it. I told my wife what I thought would make the best ending to the movie about an our and a half into it and boy did they read my mind without any spoilers, you should definitely check it out. I guess the Renaissance of TV is truly here. Thank you Netflix (HOC), HBO (GOT), Showtime (HL/RD/HoL), Starz (TM/S*), AMC (TWD/BB/HOW), and BBC (DW/Cu/) for raising the ante on what passes for good TV. As they say, and in this instance applicable while simultaneously veracious (while normally malapropos), A rising tide lifts all boats! (JFK)akin to Reagan "trickle down" fallacy. What an odd juxtaposition JFK and RR, different sides of the same coin I suppose? There is no Republican, there is no Democrat, there is no matter, there is no dark matter, ONLY GRAY MATTER. Think for yourselves people !
