everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This movie is great. I watched it twice and its such a well done, responsible portrayal at a very real issue. Righetti did an amazing job at showing the emotional plight that stalking can do not only to the victim, but everyone around them. I also can't say enough good things about Will Estes performand and how well he captured the role of the stalker, and harmful it can be for people to overlook the psychological side of it. The cast did an amazing job, and keep in mind this is based on a true story, and they handled this issue so responsibly, and it's just a damn good thriller.

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.

Time Warner's synopsis indicated that the Catherine Hicks character, who owned the business the victim worked for, was the stalker. Or, would the synopsis be written by LMN? I enjoyed the movie, except for the 50% TV ad time, which is common for any network these days, including sports where they have TV time-outs. No coach or player can call THAT many time-outs. That really ruins the continuity of the game and irritates the players and coaches, but it's the 'ME' age, all for the bottom line (ex: A&E and 'Duck Dynasty').Catherine Hicks was hardly noticeable in this film. She has aged considerably since she portrayed Kathleen Turner's best friend in 'Peggy Sue Got Married,' 1986 (title based upon an obscure, but good, Buddy Holly song). Of course, I look older than I did in 1986 as well, but Catherine looks like she had a stroke along the way. I just lost my hair as most men of 72 do. I would guess Catherine Hicks is only in her early 50's unless she wasn't a teenager in 1986. I'll check out her bio.As for the film, it was good seeing Harry Hamlin long after his starring role in the legendary 'Clash of the Titans.' He has aged gracefully.The stalker was the best actor in the film. I know my review doesn't cover much of the film's content, direction, acting, etc. but what else can I say about LMN? It was a slow night for TV - no local sports teams in action. That would comprise the contrary male network, i.e. sports ARE (ESPN,Fox Sports, etc.) are the male networks.

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.
