Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Well, this is decent thriller and jumpy at some parts, but I heard things about things happening on missions with missionaries on the mission I went to. Santa Rosa, California, around 1992 to 1994, is when I went on mine. There was a women I was tempted to do the same thing with.I am not like this guy in the movie. She was hot, and luckily, I had a companion that got me not to do it. My last area of the mission too. So I would of been like this except I did not think of having a family with her and sealed.I am still going to church, and never done anything like this in the movie. This movie is great, and I am into horror movies and some thrillers. I always wanted to see this movie, and watched it on Netflix. I am glad I did and enjoyed it. It only deserves a 5 though.So it is not fabulous but good. I would watch it again but just to watch if there is nothing else to watch and be okay with it.

The characters all behave so realistically that I was sucked in and on the edge of my seat. A lot of times things happen in this kind of movie that cause it to lose that realism. That did not happen here.The story of a good mother that is going through a tough time and makes an understandably bad decision because of it. She never lost credibility to me. The kid in the movie is not some super child or genius or crazy person. He behaves like a real kid his age and the villain of the piece was frightening and crazy but not unrealistically tough or invincible. It made this movie uniquely scary.I was in the mood for a thriller. I got it.

"Missionary" revolves around conflicts that appear beneath seemingly friendly and interesting relationships, only that nothing is what is seems on surface.I'm usually willing to give latitude to smaller productions that feature a B-level cast, and that was the attitude I had when I saw the movie. The results were mixed.There is some decent acting on this movie, and when they have good text they can put some above average character performance. The major problem of this film is that writing is very inconsistent. The story oscillates between some good and believable scenes, with others that let you down by their incoherence, lack of continuity or just plain 'straight from cliché handbook'. A couple passages are extremely lame, almost giving the impression two separate writes at odds with each other developed the story. At the end of the movie, when closing credits come, there is this feeling that the director wasted an overachieving cast (relatively to their league) with bad text.

Not sure if there is a pun intended with the title of the movie, but one thing is for sure, this is a thriller that can be seen in the tradition of "Fatal Attraction". Kind of like "Fatherly Attraction" then if you're not too offended by that word play. The thrill aspect of the movie is pretty easy to pick up on and I'm sure almost everyone will know where this is heading quite early.So it is the journey that is interesting and the "players" involved in the journey that will get our attention. With Dawn O. we you get not only a good actress, but a very beautiful one too. Which makes the temptation part even more believable. Unfortunately not all parts of the story are as believable and it does run into more and more clichés (especially when it is reaching the climax - no pun intended).Still if you like thrillers, you will be entertained enough
