Avis à la une
I watched this movie because a) it had Kellie Martin in it and she played one of my favorite ER characters and b) it had Reed Diamond in it (mmmm! Kellerman, *swoon*). I am not regretting my decision to watch it at all. It was well worth watching the scenes with Reed Diamond in the pool. It's one of those things that one watches as an alternative to a rainstorm, not as something you would expect to be a masterpiece of film making. You want something like that, watch To Kill a Mockingbird.
I honestly don't regret seeing it, and would see it again. (one only really gets to see Reed Diamond in re-runs of Homicide) My advice: take it as fun, I highly doubt that it was supposed to be much more.
To give it credit, this is not the worst movie ever made by Lifetime, in fact, it's probably one of the better ones -- you can take that as commentary on the quality of the movies Lifetime makes if you like.
The circumstances of this movie are not as unbelieveable as one reviewer seemed to believe. And if that reviewer really thought that having a young actress portray this character was some form of child exploitation the they really have no sense of reality whatsoever and should check out some of the older classics in which children smoke or consider the lives of TRULY exploited child actors.
This movie is the kind of guilty pleasure that romance novels are, and shouldn't be expected to rise any higher. You might enjoy it, but chances are you'd never admit it. Since I'm using an alias for this, I'll honestly admit that I loved this movie. And I don't even read romance novels.
I might be a little biased because I saw this as a ten year old girl, but I really like this film. It's not meant to be a "thinker", it's just meant to entertain - and in that respect it has my vote.
Yes, there are plot holes...
Why was she in a women's prison? How did she know how to drive when she grew up in prison? How come Father Paul looked young enough to be her brother?
Who cares? These are minor details that can't ruin the film for me. Everything that needed to be explained was explained. All the viewer really wants to know is the identity of the killer.
I still find it somewhat suspenseful and fun. It's not meant to be a psychological film, just a fun way to kill time on a rainy Saturday afternoon. In that sense, it does it's job well.
