A Brilliant Conflict

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Well...where do I start. This movie was on at 'midday movie time', 12:00 in the afternoon. Now, I usually do not expect a lot from the movies displayed at this time, and this movie did not change my mind on this opinion. I think many people can whole-heartedly agree with me when I say Mid-day movies are generally tragic. Now to review:I think that in the end I was rather pleased with the plot of the story. This isn't a spoiler so I won't put in any details. I was shocked with the outcome of who the bad guys were and what not, and I think that the 'key' at the end was a good idea. The downside of the movie however were the goofs! There were so many subtle errors and silly mistakes that the director made when blocking the scenes. OK, so a lot of the decisions made were to benefit the rest of the storyline, but it was still rather tragic. The best actor (though still very poor) was Barbera. My review is hardly very in-depth with justification, but I only have 1000 words. So, with that...i say: It was good for a midday movie, and brought me back into the room after each ad break.

This was a good entertaining film and only because Monika Schnarre,(Liz Garnett),"Andromeda",'05 looked very sexy, hot and played the role of a very very fox lady type. On the other hand, Erika Eleniak,(Barbara Cates), "Brilliant",'04 was the trusting friend who simply adored Liz who worked with her and they were competitors in the same firm, only Barbara was more of a kind hearted soul. These two women decided to take a break from the business world and get away to the North in Canada and enjoy the quiet comforts of a cozy rental cabin. Unfortunately, Liz was not completely truthful about why she wanted to go away and her past was about to catch up with her.

In an attempt to hide out for a short period from the psychotic ex-husband of one of them, two women are trapped in a mountain community by a massive (yet unseen) snowstorm that closes all roads and blankets the entire area except for the immediate vicinity of the heroines. Their retreat becomes less enjoyable when they realize they have been followed the entire trip.Apparently this misnomered movie was written, and directed, by people who had never seen an actual snowstorm. It's very hard to feel suspense when the events and situations are unrealistic, nor when the surprise outcome is predictable from the very beginning. The lack of fresh snow after a blizzard, nor any scenes where a blizzard was occurring, made me gnash my teeth.

This movie takes a LONG time getting to the story. By the time the stage is set, the viewer has lost interest. When the action does get started, it has such a soap opera feel, the viewer doesn't believe it. The best thing about the movie is the lead females are very easy to look at. They have talent, too -- they just picked the wrong movie to show it off.
