Do You Know Me?

Some college friends in Seattle think one of them (LeFevre) resembles the image of a girl on a milk carton, so she calls the hotline and starts to suspect that her 'parents' have been lying to her all her life. Jeremy London is on hand as a DEA agent.

"Do You Know Me?" (2009) starts out with promise, but becomes so contrived and complicated, it's eye-rolling. The locations are good, there's a lot of chase action, and Rachelle is an attractive protagonist (who wears the same purple pants for practically the entire runtime). Otherwise, this is a letdown due to laughable scriptwriting.

The film runs 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was shot in Vancouver and Surrey, which is across the Fraser River; establishing shots were done in nearby White Rock, as well as San Francisco.

GRADE: C-/D+

The writing and directing is so subpar. It is like they've never met humans before and don't know how they really act in every day situations. I know both Rachelle Lafevre and Jeremy London are decent actors so I don't blame this film failure on the acting abilities.

Well, this was... not so good. The story premise itself was intriguing -a college girl discovers via a missing child picture on the back of a milk carton that she is in fact 'that' missing child and her parents are imposters who have been lying to her, her entire life.

Unfortunately the follow through here was pretty terrible; As Rachelle Lefevre as 'Ellie' starts asking questions, calls the 1-800 # attached to her photo and triggers the bad guys. The story then becomes jumpy and filled with massive plot holes. The acting was bad, the dialogue terrible and the budget low, which didn't help matters.

Rachelle Lefevre (of Twilight fame) was probably the best part of this, she did a good job in a terrible movie -except for her running skills, she struggled there and unlucky for her as she spends most of this movie on the run from assorted bad guys and crazy events as she tries to find the truth about who she is. Jeremy London plays one of the baddies and was just terrible.

In regards to Rachelle's (lack of) running skills, this was obviously made before she leaned how to do her cool action hero vampire moves in Twilight. Anyways it's Lifetime, what are you gunna do? 08.13

The premise is great and shows promise. That alone drew me to this film. The acting wasn't great, that was clear at the outset. But I held out hope. This was a high concept with a lot of potential. What resulted, however, was a poorly-executed, very weak, convoluted, misguided effort that doesn't justify its premise. I was really surprised at how bad this ended up being--so bad that I had to review it, which I don't normally do. So bad that I want to research the filmmakers to find out how this happened. There's just so much so wrong about this production.

So I feel she should of went to the cop's and that the so called dea guy was up to something I felt like she didn't fight back much at all. She should of handled this better but it was an okay movie just kinda don't like lifetime movies that make the woman look stupid .
