Into the Arms of Danger

Don't listen to the other reviews saying this is a bad movie. It's one of those rare GOOD Lifetime flicks. It would've been even better with someone else playing Jenny's mother, since any one of my livingroom lamps can act better and show more emotion than Laurie Fortier (if that's her name?).

The story was unique and well done - my favorite genre: psychological thriller. Cathy Moriarty was excellent, as was Sam Meader, who I'd never heard of before but he practically stole the spotlight. The younger brother played by Joey Luthman was very good also - being torn between staying miserable but loyal to his family or breaking away from them and their criminal ways.

And as with all Lifetime movies, there has to be at least one good, caring character that gets killed off, unfortunately; in this case proving yet again that no good deed goes unpunished. But I rarely cringe when it happens in most of the other movies like I did this one.

Lastly, it's very interesting/intriguing that it was "inspired by a true story" as it said in the very beginning..

The plot was a little far fetched but the story once you got into it tracked well and they tied up any loose ends. Better than many Lifetime movies. Cathy Moriarty was a little over the top playing to a supporting cast as Momma which were many unknowns..

One plus one does not equal two in this movie. If you live in the world were common sense apply this movie have you screaming "WTH" and occasionally "really". Don't waste your time with this movie.

They all get a chance to take the bad guy down and actually give it to them pretty good. However, if you've clocked him in the head with a pan or stabbed him or even shot him, MAKE SURE THEY STAY DOWN. Hit them, shoot them or stab them several more times. EVERY SINGLE TIME when she just about makes it out, the bad guy is able to regroup or regain consciousness and regain the upper hand.

I loved this movie, it is so Lifetime! Just the right amount of suspense and cheesiness. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for it to be on again so I can watch it with my mom.
