Site Unseen: An Emma Fielding Mystery

Actors need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask these questions.

1) Am I under thirty-five? 2) Am I handsome? 3) Does my beard fill in completely? 4) Do I have the self-discipline to keep my beard well trimmed? 5) Again, am I handsome?

If the answer to those questions is not a firm yes, that actor must refuse to be shot with the kind of whiskers that make them look like they haven't bathed. The lead actor in this movie may be self-disciplined about shaving but he's a firm no on the remainder. Therefore, he must either cease seeing himself as someone whose looks can be enhanced by the kind of scruff.

This movie would have been more relaxing if the lead actor had asked himself those questions. He should also button another button on his shirt and reconsider the necklace.

A typical Hallmark mystery...sometimes they are interesting but many time they are rather boring. This episode falls into the latter category. IIenjoy mysteries and have given these Hallmark efforts a chance, hoping I will come across a decent effort. Courtney, who appears to have had some facial surgery, has a tight face which usually has a smile/grin in place regardless of the situation. The acting of the supporting cast is mediocre and at times amateurish. As several other reviewers pointed out,there is a lack of realism in the situations..the students digging away at the archeological site with no hint of dirt.

Make more of these please. I've been following Courtney Thorne Smith for over 20 years since Melrose Place (yes I'm old). She always puts in solid and believable performances. We need more strong female leads and Courtney is the one to do it. Love the mystery, setting, and chemistry. Hoping there will be more this year and next.

it's a good little movie. with a few things missing in the story. but I have watched many hallmark suspense movies and they all have the same character who have some super investigating powers and is attracted to all of the troubles. The person at the end is always girls left hand.I mean always with the girl but not too much into the scene so it was easy to guess who the murderer was.

Archaeologist Emma Fielding (Courtney Thorne-Smith) is trying to prove her father's theory of a lost colony in their home town. She has a map and her group of young students. She has a confrontation with angry old acquaintance Augie and the next day, she finds his dead body in her dig site. FBI Special Agent Jim Connor (James Tupper) arrives to investigate.

It's an ok mystery. It's comparable to anything Lifetime or such channels. CTS seems to have gotten stiffer in her acting over the years. The story has an interesting premise although the movie should start with a young Emma listening to her father talking about the lost colony. This is fine for a TV mystery movie.
