A Holiday Hideout

Soooo bad. I wanted to hit delete but wanted to see if it got better. So disappointing. Those two had zero chemistry. And if anyone believes this is any where close to how the FBI works God help us. I know they've gone down the tubes at HQ but the agents are still good people. This junk was such a slap in their faces.

Who could write this crap? And worse yet, who are the idiots that produced it and the network that airs it.

None of the actors are any good but considering the script they had to work with what could anyone expect?!? And who did the casting? The budget for this thing had to be super low considering the lack of named talent they hired.

I watched because some people gave this great reviews- did they even watch this garbage or was the sound up? So sad. Not a second of entertainment in this monstrosity. Save your time. It's worth much more than this junk.

This was very silly, but it was great to see Arielle Kebbel again in a Christmas TV romance movie. She has been missing in action on that front for quite awhile. She has gotten a new haircut too. She was well cast as a Federal agent in charge of protecting a former mobster, now witness. She has always had a down-to-earth way about her despite her beauty, as well as a way with snark. Colin Egglesfield was also well cast as a bad guy with a good heart. He had nice chemistry with Arielle. I liked that he wasn't made to be falsely accused or somehow innocent of his crimes.

This movie was a break from the patented Hallmark Christmas formula, thank you very much. Silly but funny, and Arielle and Colin made a great team. Will watch this again as a relief and laugh.

The leads had pretty good chemistry and were fun to watch, but my favorite thing about the movie was it's complete lack of anything resembling realistic police techniques. I'm pretty sure nothing about the mob scenes was realistic, either. It made for a very fun viewing, although I'm not entirely sure that was intentional.

The script, the directing and the acting are bad. The plot is different but none of the elements work. It was made by or for ION. There are better holiday movies.
