    Worth the watch

    A strong cast is the best reason to watch "Death Saved My Life". The script was a little different than the usual Lifetime fare. Much of the script is very clever. The story kind of runs out of steam after a while and that's a shame. The cast is good so I wish the script was just a little bit better. All in all. I'm still glad I watched "Death Saved My Life".

    Much as I love Meagan Good...

    This movie didn't really make much sense. There Aside from the fact that some of the things in it seem really unlikely to have been doable and the psychological damage shown implausible in what seemed like such a short period of time, it was not really made clear who was involved in what and whose involvement was coincidental. Especially the police. Perhaps if it had been a limited series they could have filled in those blanks but with them unfilled, it was like watching a Skinemax movie without the sex. The acting was okay for most, better for Meagan who is a good actress, but I think the writing was the issue. It's a no from me.

    One of the better Lifetime movies I've seen

    The casting and performances were excellent, especially from the stunningly beautiful Meagan Good who was very convincing in her role. The directing by Seth Jarrett was on point. The pacing for the comfortable 90 min runtime was just right. The cinematography and score were decent. The premise of the story was very good, but was riddled with plot and technical issues. Seasoned TV show writer Barbara Kymlicka took a well thought out "revenge plan" and ended it with the most boring and simplistic way. I was expecting some grand finale, but ended up with one that could've easily bypassed the entire suspenseful middle acts, and left me unsatisfied. A little more though and effort towards the ending would've easily made this TV movie a blockbuster theatre film contender. Never mind the two new account 9 and 10/10 of the four current reviews. This is a solid 7/10, easily losing 2 stars for the bland, boring and lazy ending.

    Utter Nonsense! Too farfetched for even a Lifetime movie.

    I don't understand all of the great reviews. The film made me ask how something this ridiculous could get made. There were at least ten unimaginable events that would not possib!y ever in life come close to happening in real life. NEVER!! Pure stupidity.
