Prisoner of Love

First, let me say I adore Nicholle Tom and have for years. I thought she did a great accent in this. The acting, though? Well, that's another story. Adam Mayfield is wayyyy too good-looking to play Casey White. He acted totally goofy, which may be the way Casey acted. I didn't sense any good chemistry between the two. The whole tone of the movie,to me, was downright silly and comical. It was SO goofy, in fact, I think it may have been on purpose, poking fun at the real-life pair because they did something so stupid. The sneaky flirting was like 6th grade level stuff, smiling, giggling, just childish. I did give the movie 3 stars because they really nailed Vicky's "tan" and her complexion, AND because some of the other actors were actually good.

My expectations weren't high to begin with but I was definitely not prepared for how cringe the movie is. I can't tell if its the script or what but the movie was uncomfortable to sit through. Nicholle Tom's acting was so awful here, I know she is a decent actress but something was off. The actor playing Casey White was somewhat redeeming, he was handsome so there's that. Alot of Vicky's true life backstory was left out of the film that I wish they had included because it gives more insight into how far she fell and more explainations as to why. The overall situation was sad and to an extent I feel bad for Vicky White. This movie had potential and I truly believe it was wasted here.

I would have enjoyed this more if the actor could've been more inclusive and diversified. It's a shame that in 2022 we can't have more movies like the little mermaid. I just feel like Vicky could've been played by a stronger woman like Rachel Levine. Further more Casey white should've been portrayed by a much stronger actor such as Chris Rock, it would've add a much more fluid comedic relief to the plot. Honestly the plot was a little dry for me personally, there weren't enough explosions to satisfy my need for action, could we have a redo with Michael Bay as director, there are plenty of action packed moments in his films.

I kept up with this case from the beginning as I don't live far from Florence, Alabama. I feel like the movie does not portray what actually happened. There was a 911 call that provided information as to the states of mind of Vicky and Casey. This was not in the movie. The film took some liberties with the hotel scenes. No one knows what happened except Casey and he's not talking about the private moments they shared.

The real jail is in the middle of the city - not out in the boonies. The acting is subpar. I feel like this is a story that would make a great movie, but this is not that movie.

First of all,the acting was just abysmal. The actor who played Casey immediately gave sociopathic vibes and his flirting was just too obvious and silly. And Vicky's facial expressions looked like they belonged on a Mama's Family episode. The story never developed the characters. It was like it was produced by the Hallmark channel.

We needed more of Vicky's back story that would make her susceptible to this kind of manipulation and criminal activity. The actor who played Casey just fell flat and he just didn't nail sociopath possibly because the direction was substandard. I just could not get invested in any of the characters.
