Featured reviews
I was surprisingly engaged by this TV movie which I caught one rainy Saturday on Lifetime. Once I started watching it, I was unable to stop watching. Crystal Bernard is very effective in her role as a woman betrayed who then tries to get her life back on track. The rest of the cast is fairly good as well though it was disappointing to me to lose Barry Corbin's character so early. As the other reviewer noted, there are some unique plot devices in this movie which make it stand above the average fare on television. In particular, the horse racing story line is most welcome. Overall, I would recommend this movie. It is worth the investment of your time.
After serving time for a crime she didn't commit based on trumped up charges by her husband(Doug Savant), a disfigured horse trainer(Crystal Bernard)has plastic surgery and sets out to ruin her now ex-husband. Actually a pretty good made-for-TV drama that also stars Barry Corbin, Connie Cooper, Claire Rankin and Country Music singer Billy Dean.
Okay, so here we have yet another Crystal Bernard vehicle in which our heroine is disfigured (does some fairly good acting in the early part of film) who gets framed by her husband and sent to prison. Prison toughens her up and she gets into fights with fellow inmates and, you got it, gets even more disfigured. But, alas, our heroine gets that plastic surgery and a new face and after prison release goes after her husband who has since re-married. From there on it goes downhill and Miss Bernard turns in some bad acting. Typical story? You got it. Nothing new here. The horses look beautiful.
Unfortunately, Miss Bernard continues to wear these short skirts, that make her look cheap, and still sports that mop of hair that is annoying to look at. Won't someone suggest that she get a haircut? Is this lion's mane look supposed to be attractive? It went out in the 40s when the likes of Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake held the glamor department. The one redeeming value in this soap opera is the appearance of Doug Savant. I wonder why he always gets the villain roles? He's a good looking guy, who I remember did another villain in MASQUERADE even opposite the handsome Rob Lowe. This is not the best in TV drama. Saw this on Lifetime TV. But worth watching Savant. Even though there's a bad torture scene upon some of the horses.

I.m a true "classic" film buff, so I was really surprised at how watchable this was And watchable is the ultimate test of a film. Well-crafted mystery-drama,few cliches,and horses and horseracing are more interesting than the usual drug/gangster themes.Not a "great" film, but enjoyable,worth watching.
Albeit somewhat predictable, the movie was really enjoyable. Crystal Bernard and Doug Savant both did great jobs with their acting. It's not a "keep you on the edge of your seat" type movie, but it really is an enjoyable watch.
