    good movie

    I recently saw this movie (on Pax TV) it sure kept me glued to my seat and I thought it was well done thriller (although since Joe lando used to play on Dr. Quinn -I kept think we would see Jane Seymour!) but I thought the boy who played John was wonderful portrayed

    i love this movies it is so good!!!!!

    this movie is so good and the guy lucas is so so so so hot. so everyone should watch this great movie!!!!the movie was so great because it shows that how rich people treat their kids if they dont listen to them. but the little boy (john) would have been more comfortable with lucas and roberta.

    Great actress

    If I was to vote for the cast, someone would get the whole 10. Why is it that Mary Page Keller doesn't come up more on Hollywood movies? Impossible not to fall with her... For the rest (the movie), the best that I can say is that I did not switch to the next channel each time MJK got off the scene, so... The plot was (obviously) not to thick, but also not too shallow, I guess... But, then again, "Roberta" was clearly the most convincing character of the lot, and the one that got me glued on to the TV set. Nice TV movie, for late night TV starers, though still not sleepy (wich is good, for the movies' sake). Nothing else to say, but that one shouldn't be forced to get to the tenth line by saying that one can't find any decent (and I mean "decent") photo of the beautiful Mary Page Keller. Help me, if you can...
