Fatal Reunion

I have never watched a movie that is so far fetch with such bad acting from everyone I quess that's why they are in it no wonder it didn't get anywhere and the actors that I can't say they are no one knows them bad acting ++ I'm embarrassed that I actually watched it no wonder they have never acted since

On occasion, even the big mega-buck films, with A-list stars and 9-figure budgets, have to contain ridiculously silly omissions to further the plot.

But it seems that these "Lifetime," stories, with far from A-list-staffed personnel, do this about 95% of the time.

Here, about a hundred or so words of clarification and conversation between the two leads could have precluded all of this nonsense. Of course, then the contact between Laura and her sociopathic former classmate would have been precluded, and the story would have ended after 15 minutes or so. Incidentally, if this had occurred, and they would have just shown a test pattern for the last 100 minutes, it would have been about as entertaining.

Russell is a hard-working ad executive/husband, and wife Jessica feels he's cheating from things she has heard, from her stilted observations, and inferences drawn from his erratic, often late work schedule.

But for cripes sake, a one-minute conversation between them, and the fore-mentioned 100 words, could have informed her of the fact that he was on the verge of concluding a deal which would have them all set for life, necessitating long hours and occasioning dining with an attractive woman (about which she'd heard from one of her equally-shallow friends).

Even this vacuous woman should have understood that. Hubby could have offered a few words of explanation of his own volition, but frankly, the hot -shot ad exec pretty much matched her in the "vacuous" department.

So enter the sociopathic former classmate, and his equally (or more) sociopathic companion, and you now have twice the number of vacuous personages on-screen, a story which a challenged 12-year-old could predict, and a whole slew of characters about whom one couldn't care less.

(Incidentally, after Jessica initially meets Marcus, and he - purporting to be a big-deal real estate mogul, invites her to dinner - where she chortles about this upcoming assignation with her friends, the dialog here is something which would make the conversations among the nerdy teens in the old beach blanket flicks seem like something highly-intellectual by comparison. And the inevitable brandishing of various weaponry at the conclusion could have been culled from any number of Lifetime "sociopath-menaces-innocent-family" past presentations.)

I don't think this lifetime movie was any more or less stupid and trivial, poorly acted and written than any other lifetime movie. they are all exactly the same. the thing i hated the most was how the camera panned up a wall after every scene, what's up with that? Did it ever come out why her friend I think it was rosemary was so upset about her seeing Marcus? was it only because she was thinking about cheating on her husband or did he do something weird when she dated him in high school? These movies are good for hating men, to make you scared of dating and i am always so happy to be single after watching them. Is there really a possibility of a person becoming dumber after watching Lifetime movies?

I saw this movie was coming on tonight. After reading the comments about it I decided to give it a try since it is a Lifetime movie. I usually enjoy Lifetime movies but this was, by far the worst Lifetime movie I have EVER seen. It was so horrible I created an IMDb account to write about it. When viewing a television movie I do not expect to see the greatest acting skills, but this was a disappointment. I cannot think of any movie that may have been worse than this. I think this may have been the worst movie I have ever seen. The only reason I gave this movie one star was because there was no possible way to give it zero stars.

The film is very tidy and clean, the acting is pretty good and the story has a twist. It didn't make sense in some places and didn't answer puzzles. No explanation was given as to what was going on with husband Russel and the French damsel. There was a strange look exchanged between those two. Elenak was suspicious of her husband before. So she becomes lonely and seeks out a former classmate on a website to do with school reunions. The rock thrown at the car and the attempted murder on Elenak was just never caught on CCTV, and nobody saw anything either. In these type of films, the police are always unhelpful to victims but they appear at the very end in support of the victims. All I can say is Eleniak should've listened to her martial arts tutor when he said "To trust no one is to trust everyone equally".
