Prisoner of Love

First, Florence, AL is in the middle of the city not the woods. They drove through the city to the Academy Sports parking lot.... Still city. The fact they added the tanning bed to the whole thing just for giggles... Well that was hilarious. You'd have to hear the former employee's interview about her to understand the joke. She was not a victim and they make Casey too smart and too attractive for that role. He is more of an oversized Elmer Fudd fellow. Word for word, the whole movie was EXACTLY what the news reports all told. Basically, they compiled the reports for the script. And lastly, the sheriff of Lauderdale County is an old white Boss Hogg looking man....and yet here we have replaced him with not an old white Boss Hogg looking man... Many, many inaccuracies. It makes my home area look like a train wreck.

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.

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.

This movie is so bad I don't even know where to start at. Now, in all fairness the actors were pretty good it was the writing and directing that was just horrible. The story was so boring and blah. Save your time and don't watch this. I promise you'll regret it. This story had so much more to tell and they dropped the ball. The writing was so FLAT THE STORY WAS FLAT. This is based on a true story and it felt like the worst story ever told. Nicholle Tom, was really good and so was Adam Mayfield. This is possibly the worst Lifetime movie ever made. Now I know to stay away from anything directed or written by this cast.

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.
