Sleeping with Danger

Grace Tanner (Elisabeth Röhm) falls for her alternative medicine doctor Paul Carter (Antonio Cupo). It develops into a full romance, but underlying issues balloon into a run for her life.

This is a Lifetime movie. At least, they bought the distribution. It's their standard woman-in-danger plot. It's all very standard and very second-rate. I like Röhm over the years but she does come off a little cool. The biggest issue is the male lead. I don't know much about him. He seems to be a veteran TV actor. I probably seen him before, but I wouldn't know. In addition, the character is too bland. I get the idea of transformation from nice guy to possessive creep. They just really need a good meet-cute. It can't be as boring this one. I don't care that this copies every other one of these movies. I just want it to be good.

She says, Sleeping with the Enemy wants it's royalties.

Elisabeth Rohm stars as Grace, an stewardess who meets Paul, an alternative therapy doctor, who woos and wants to marry her. I think they may have her character's name later for whatever reason. But the trouble is with Paul who is a violent, controlling psycho who mentally and physically abuses Grace and keeps her isolated. Will Grace ever escape. You will have to tune in to find out! Highly recommend this movie!

This was more like a real movie than a Lifetime movie. It was actually very good. The acting was surprisingly good. Not a perfect script but it held my interest. The plot holes are acceptable because this was based on a true story. And truth is always stranger than fiction. My only real complaint was the climax was more or less jammed into the last couple minutes. They could have compressed the first hour to make more room in the end. Overall, I'm impressed.

The lead plays an intelligent, experienced woman who wants to make positive changes in her life. But, like so many LMN women, she falls into the sack with someone she barely knows and obviously knows nothing about his past. The clue bus gave her plenty of opportunities to take a ride and arrive in a better place, but she keeps going back no matter what.

To paraphrase the movie airplane: "Shana, she bought her ticket, she knew what she was getting into. I say let her crash."
