One of my all time favorites.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I agree the storyline is much over done, movies with similar story lines but these movies would not be successful ifs its not hitting home base, truth is this happens so often in reality and i'm sure alot of times women wish they could be like Karen. I thought the acting was pretty good, kept me at my screen not wondering off to the fridge like i usually do.

While coping with the events following a car accident caused by her, recovering alcoholic Heise moves to Shelter Hills to rekindle with longtime friend Anderson, who has offered her a position at a firm. Things appears to be patching up nicely, especially when she meets dreamboat Cupo at the grocery store parking lot. Not only does he turn out to be a candidate in the county elections, he is also turns her friend's husband… oh, yeah, and a suspect in a murder investigation. Does a pretty decent job with the twists and turns, and the acting is better than most Lifetime Movies. Like of lot of these types, there is an overload on characters for the mere purpose of having lots suspects, a crutch to distract us from piecing things together too easily. Definitely worth the watch if you are completely bored or have a taste for cheap TV-movies.**½ (out of four)

This was pitiful. A suspense thriller riddled with bad acting, bad script, unbelievable scenarios and an over-the-top climax. Sandy, a woman haunted by her tragic past and lingering demons moves to a new town where she runs into and old friend who helps her get back on her feet by finding her a job and a good place to stay. She (Sandy) meets a mysterious man with whom she has a brief but intense relationship and soon after finds out that this man is actually her friend Karen's husband. Things in town begin to go awry when another woman linked to Karen's husband turns up dead and Sandy begins to suspect that her ex-lover might be a serial killer. The film's only saving grace is its attractive cast and maybe the fact that it was a made-for-television fête which hopefully kept the budget low.

This is an utterly undistinguished Lifetime movie, the same one you've seen many many times if you watch Lifetime. The actors are uninteresting, the direction is pedestrian and the writing is bland and amateurish. This movie could be the template from which all Lifetime movies are made. The relatively high rating is almost certainly due to one or both of two things: either some reviewers were associated with the production, and/or some were impressed with the twist which was truly unexpected. The question is: was the movie good enough to make the twist worth watching the film? I say NO. You will find the film tedious in the extreme, you will not expect the ending, and you will still regret having watched this howler.
