    Treacherous Romance

    As a fan of romance and mystery Treacherous Beauties is one of my favorite films to watch. The chemistry between Bruce Greenwood & Emma Samms is charming and sexy. Anne Marie Kerr, (Samms) a successful photographer is shocked and saddened when she receives the news that her older brother Alan (Rutledge)has been killed at a horse rearing farm. Determined to find out what happened she travels to the farm owned by the Hollister family. There she meets Jason (Greenwood)the oldest son but Anne gets more than she bargained for when she begins to fall for Jason who maybe the killer and after witnessing terrible arguments between him and Simone (Oxenberg) his brother's wife she discovers that her brother's death wasn't an accident. When the passion between the couple is ignited they both realize that someone they know is the killer leading to a suspenseful confrontation with the real murderer. This film has everything romance, murder , suspense and a good ending 8/10

    A Harlequin film

    Some of these Harlequin films are very enjoyable.

    Here we have two Dynasty graduates - Emma Samms and Catherine Oxenberg. Samms has the lead in this 1994 movie. How is it that she was just on General Hospital recently and looks the same?

    Samms plays a woman, Anne Marie, trying to get info on her brother's death. This puts her on a wealthy estate where her brother worked. She makes up some claptrap and gets to stay in her brother's old quarters.

    One of the sons in this wealthy family, Jason (Bruce Greenwood), has been rumored to have killed Anne Marie's brother. He spends most of this film with his shirt off and flirting with Anne Marie. He also has tousled hair.

    It's Harlequin so we know what happens.

    Greenwood is a revelation here - he's hot stuff. Worth the whole thing, along with the beautiful horses. Tippy Hedren is lovely as the matriarch.

    A Nice Movie For Pure Enjoyment

    This film is so good for anyone who just likes to sit and enjoy a

    movie that doesn't have a message or a meaning. With all the things

    going on in our lives today, it's good to see this type of movie.

    It's also not too bad spending time watching that hunk, Bruce

    Greenwood or that pretty Emma Samms or Tippi Hedren.

    If you want to spend an enjoyable two hours, just watch this film.

    Enjoyable yet..

    This movie got some pretty lame acting and a no brainer plot. If not for Bruce Greenwood's redeeming performance as the dashing Jason Holister, the whole movie is unwatchable. Emma Samms gave a slightly convincing performance as the photographer turns brother's avenger, while for the rest of the cast, except for Bruce Greenwood of course, all I can say is, their acting is tolerable. On the whole, I say, watch this but only for Greenwood's charming performance, and don't expect more out of the movie.

    Waste of Celluloid

    I sometimes wonder about Bruce Greenwood when I see him in these god awful movies that are obviously just a paycheck to him. I actually feel embarrassed for him when these waste of celluloid air.

    This film is ridiculous from start to finish. Emma Samms is a terrible actress and the really bad script doesn't help either. Tippi Hendren is another performer who's talent is wasted here. Her character isn't even on long enough for you to understand just how much of a waste.

    My suggestion to anyone considering watching this film is...DON'T!
