For this LMN again brings you the damsel in distress, the terrible male character doing the bad deeds and once again we are asked to suffer a trite film with so-so acting, but for a few.The damsel, in the name of Amanda Righetti, is not too good. It's all about her hair. When it is up, and she looks better that way and her age, she is happy. When her hair is down, not good on her, she's being dramatic. When it's all tossed about covering half of her face in strings down to her waist she is supposed to be disheveled.I do believe she is too mature for the teen-age look. Why is it women and their hair become so important in films? Cut it short, my dear. You're supposed to be a classy lady and you look not so.Her partner in crime, Christie Burson, also with flowing locks, doesn't do that much more for the film except to scream and stand by her friend. Has anyone heard of bobby pins? Why do they have to always have strands of hair hanging in their faces? So damned annoying and destroys my liking their work.Catherine Hicks fares better and looks better and acts her age. I liked her. Harry Hamlin must be hard up for a job to take on this trite. He doesn't get much to do in this. Harry looks good though. And finally we come to the young man, William Estes, as the tormentor. His acting is a bit amateurish. You really don't believe him most of the time. Plus he looks as though he could be our leading lady's son.I can't wait for the day when women look their age and act their age and this long straight hair look goes away. I am sick of seeing the same do, in all colors, real and phony, hanging straight down with some over each shoulder and some hanging down the back. It's like all the women look the same. There is really no difference. Except the acting. And there are some that can act and many that can not.

A great TV Movie that is extremely well acted by all concerned with a very sound plot that doesn't pull any punches while tackling a difficult subject matter is how I would describe this little gem.Starring Amanda Righetti as Casey Cooper who has her life turned around when she becomes the victim of a 'stalker'. She changes from an outgoing, extrovert and confident to a young lady who is afraid to venture outside or far from her home whilst receiving the statutory hate mail and endless 'phone-calls that the Police appear to have no power OR to her and her friends NO WILL to stop. This film drives on from start-to-finish and I guarantee will have you 'supporting' poor Casey and her friends as they fight against the seeming in-action of the local Police and her 'stalker' until they are unsure which exactly is the worst of the two? A brilliant support cast includes Will Estes,Harry Hamlin, Christie Burson and Eric Smzanda

A stinging indictment of our justice system is shown in this excellent film. A woman, victimized by a stalker, can't seem to get help from authorities, and for a while, she is even under suspicion herself.Will Estes, the young Regan rookie officer in the fabulous television show "Blue Bloods," gives an outstanding supporting performance as the schizophrenic young man, who becomes a monster when he fails to take his medication.This is not your ordinary run of the mill story. The Estes character, Morgan Pierce, has plenty of political backing. It is determined that he is using his mother's name and that his father is the Lt. Governor. Naturally, the latter has used his influence to get his son out of various jams.This stalking affects the emotional, physical and psychological aspects of life for the victim. Her life is one-living hell, and the society that promulgates laws doesn't really help either.The satisfying ending tells us that something has to be done for the victims of such heinous actions.

The best thing about this movie is Will Estes, I've always enjoyed him. He was excellent as the creepy and crazy Morgan. I think he really brought the character to life. The movie in general was pretty good, it really kept me on the edge of my seat. I would have like to have seen a little more build up to Morgan's obsession with Casey, it was just way too fast, and could have been more dramatic. Obviously there was no real reason for Morgan to be so obsessed with her, but they could have stoked the flames a little better. The ending was a little cheesy, but I would suggest watching this movie if you really want to see the toll that stalking can take.
