Deadly Whispers

Tony Danza (Tom Action) surprised me with his complete change of character from anything he has ever performed, he gave up his NY(Brooklyn) accent for a real down to earth SOUTHERN DRAWL!! If you liked him in "Who's The Boss", get ready to completely hate the role he plays. If you had any doubts about Tony Danza as an actor, his junkyard character will change your mind completely. His wife Pamela Reed(Carol)("Proof of Life" '02 and "Standing on Fishes" '99) played a great supporting role as a very simple minded down to earth good mother and wife who depends completely on her husband Tom and looks up to him NO matter how he seems to ACT at TIMES!! Ving Rhames (Detective Jackson)("Sin" '03) was fantastic in his role trying to figure out this crazy household and just what happened to the missing daughter Kathy Action,(Heather Tom)"Young & The Restless'73 TV series) This is a great film to view the next time it is on the TV Screen.

So, I've recently been on this 80's and 90's "TV Movie of the Week"/Lifetime movie kick and this was one of the films on my watch list.... it seems there are a great number of reviews complaining of Tony Danza's accent (which is pretty bad, but I was able to look pass that) but PLEASE don't let that prevent you from watching this film! I kind of wish the ending had been fleshed out a little bit more but I felt that the "twist" toward the end was definitely pretty great and also a bit random, which is probably why I enjoyed it so much, lol.

If you're like me and you love watching cheesy made-for-TV movies, this one is for you. Nothing is funnier than hearing Tony Danza try to pull off a Southern accent. The ending psychotic sequence is worth the price of a blank tape. If this is ever on Lifetime or something, take my advice. You'll laugh throughout.

Mannn, you have to see this movie. Ted Danza kills this role! I cried because he was so believable. His wife also was awesome! I'm trying not to spoil this for anyone but this was an awesome movie! Tell ur friends, have a girls night and bring a big box of Kleenex. You will be proud of the Husband Ted Danza betrays and then u will be confused and angry once the movie hit its Climax....a must see. The lead detective has a vocabulary and diction that only a good education and upbringing can give u. He is perfect. I can't go any further without ruining this for someone so, sit down and cuddle up and enjoy this hidden gem.

Where is this movie supposed to take place? I live in Tennessee, and I have never heard accents like those actors were using. The fake accents took away from the believability of the movie, and I lost interest. When filming a movie about southern rednecks, some research should really go into the accents. Every time I watch a movie like this, it trips me out how fake these accents are. I saw Reese Witherspoon in a movie when she was younger that was based in the South, and her accent was perfect. Why? Because she is from Nashville and knows how southerners talk. How about using actors from southern areas when making movies like this? Tony Danza needs to stick to driving a taxi in New York. I'm glad I had my remote control handy for this one.
