Cries in the Dark

Eva LaRue played the part of Carrie perfectly. I loved seeing her on All My Children and now she is in a movie that taught me how people really act in this world. The scene in the movie that I liked was at the end when she was asking Rosa if she knew who she was. I want to be a police officer when I get older because I want to protect people from harm. Eva you taught me that family is the most important thing in life and how to live your life to the fullest. You are a hero in my eyes. You are an excellent actor and you have the talent to go very far. You are so cool and you are always going to be a role model to me. When I get older I hope to be just like you when I get older. Eva you are the best!

I could not stop watching this movie, although I've seen it at least twice since 2006. It was very believable and unpredictable at the same time. Definitely one of the most entertaining lifetime movies- with great acting from everyone. I for one was glad that they cut down on the "blatant gore" factor, something which is very unnecessary for those that enjoy good acting/entertainment. I remember Eva LaRue from " All My Children". She was a was a standout even then. I would definitely recommend this movie for a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon with friends or family. I'm not sure what others- who've rated this movie 2-3 stars- are looking for in a good made for TV movie. This one has it!!

The reviews on this movie were both high and low and I had hoped for better than I got. Eva LaRue acted very well and gets a high grade and the other performers were ok but not great. The screen play had some faulty elements which is typical of made for TV movies. Overall I would say it's worth watching to see the lead actress perform so well but be prepared to let a lot of details slide by your critical eye. As far as the plot goes, all I can say is it's a shame that the world has people in it who pursue such sick and evil plans and that these types of crimes can occur. So sad.

In this LMN feature Eva La Rue managed to hold the film together with her performance. It was quite real and at times touching as well as believable. Hats of to this actress. Not too many good ones like this on LMN. She and her fellow team mate cop played by Adrian Holmes worked well together and very natural. You felt they both had done crime work before.

What I found not realistic was the leading man, played by Adam Harrington, having an affair with an older hag of a woman, played by Gina Chiarelli. She was just plain ugly. Why would a good looking young man go for the likes of her? This threw me.

Camille Sullivan had only a little to do in this as La Rue's ill fated sister. However the situation was too close to the Peterson case in real life. Linda Darlow was the often irritating emotional mother of the two sisters. She got on your nerves after a while.

But this is a step up from most of LMN films with La Rue's acting.

The story was based on the very realistic happenings that occur in this sick world of ours today. The problem with the movie is that the actions of the police, the heroine and the parent the movie were so far fetched and unrealistic that it made the movie not worth watching. Over the years, I come to expect Lifetime movies to be a tad on the corny side. But they are generally very clean and devoid of gratuitous sex and violence so I always watch them. To me that is a worthwhile swap. This movie was over the top and very predictable. The movie did have a bright spot and that was Eva. Not her role mind you, but just watching her was wonderful.
