Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreWhy do I even watch this dribble? Sometimes the films are soooo bad and the actors (mostly the leading ladies) are soooo bad it makes you watch. Sort of hypnotizes you into seeing the movie. Once again Janie Luner never disappoints me in being the worst actress on television. Here she prances around in outfits that don't flatter her rather overweight torso and hair all over the place. Her hair makes me want to throw up. Totally out of style for a woman her age. And believe me she's over 40. Her scenes with Sophie Gendron (in a flattering short hair style and looking much prettier then Luner) show her up as an older person. Then we have William R. Moses, who is always stuck in these hopeless and clueless husbands, playing opposite Luner. He does what he can with terrible lines. I liked Lawrence Dane as his father. He had some good scenes. James Wilder as Luner's lover, is sooo young she looks like his mother. Funny watching him making love to her. He must have acted with all he had to make it look believable. Lisa Langloria and Allison Graham in smaller roles fared better than our leading lady. Terrible flick due mostly to writing and Luner in it.
... View MoreMy two least favorite LMN actresses, that seem to work all the time are Jamie Luner and Sophie Gendron. One looks like she's the mother of most of her leading men and the other, with those thick lips that you feel would suction her to any surface. Hard to watch them.The plot is typical and reminds me of many other LMN film plots where the husband gets it from the bitchy wife who in turns either takes on with a younger man or the son of the husband, etc, etc. This movie is no different except it's hard to watch. Ah, Jamie and her hypo killing machine. And Sophie and her woeful looks. Better to watch the men folk, a bit more interesting. William Moses as the husband and James Wilder as the poor young fool who buys the bull she gives him. How many of these "perfect" film titles are there? LMN seems to conquer them all. For almost every day we see one or another.
... View MoreFirst and foremost....kudos to Jamie Luner for a great performance as a she-devil Dr. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde character. ( A HUGE improvement from her two previous Lifetime flicks where she was the resident heroine-in-peril.) This outing made a good bookend to the other end, "Blind Injustice". I posted on these very IMDb message boards that she should cease with the heroine-in-peril scripts, so I now feel vindicated...she is a heroine about as much as Theresa Russell was in " Black Widow". This was a pretty good effort on Ms. Luner's part.The short saga of this flick is a greedy wife Annie (Luner), with the help of a equally conniving back door man Brent( James Wilder in sleepwalking mode) scheme and kill Hub #1 for 250K in insurance money. Predictably, back door man Brent burns through about 90% of her share AND his. Fast forward several years and Annie(now known as Marianne)has new identity, new hub Richard (William R. Moses), high social status, and loads of money. Life is a bowl of cherries until back door man Brent shows up through the front door and Marianne returns to her scheming, murderous ways. Hint: This closet psycho loves potassium chloride and syringes....watch out for those nasty air bubbles! The body count is up to three by the time she sets out to waste her hub's co-worker Tia who is on to her nasty past.(Unbeknownest to Tia, Marianne is out to waste Richard too) Above average chase scene at the end in a parking garage. Jamie Luner does some great, open field running in boots for a gal of her height, 5'9".(I swear she could run the 50 yard dash faster than some guys) Credit the director for NOT having her character fall several times and bust her tush on a slick parking garage floor....which is predictable in some scripts.Catch it on Lifetime when it repeats, it was better than most thriller TV-movies you will see on any of the big three networks.
... View MoreAfter killing her first husband with the aid of her lover, Annie dumps the latter when she finds that he has been unfaithful. Starting a new life, she finds happiness with a very wealthy man that she adores.Naturally, her former lover shows up and convinces her to murder husband #2 to get the fortune that he has.Annie goes from a very loving woman to a psychotic who it is learned hates men due to her feelings about her father. This change in character comes about suddenly and is done in a way rather hard to believe. That being said, the people evolves into a killing spree by Annie and her lover as others get in the way of their ultimate plans. This part is handled well and exciting. A nosy secretary is done away with as is her adoring father-in-law. Not really a surprise, lover boy meets the same fate. Heart attacks galore are produced in this film as Annie and her lover know about injecting potassium chloride. They sure knew their chemistry! Trouble is that the chemistry between them was short-lived. Safe to say, they both get in the end what is coming to them. We, the viewers, get an entertaining film, an old-style thriller.
