Good start, but then it gets ruined

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Unstable is a TV thriller moving starring Manny Dearest's Ashley Scott and tells the story of a divorced woman who is living in a new neighbood as she is set to divorce her husband. She meets a man named Nick Reese who is the perfect man and she starts to have an interest in him and decides to let him stay in with her. But is Nick all he says he is. Overall it wasn't a bad film and I could tell by a mile away what was going to happen.

***SPOILERS*** Leggy Christine "Chris" March, Ashley Scott, wants to get back as a real-tor and support both herself and 9 year old son Oliver, Max Charles, with her husband Jason, George Newbern, about to be cut loose by her in divorce proceeding after she caught him with his pants down in bed with another woman. Getting handsome former soccer player Nick Reese,Ivan Sergel, to stay in her guest house and keep Oliver company seemed a good idea at first but with somebody stalking her it made it even more important to have a man in the house to protect her and her son.Things get so out of hand that Chris goes to the local police for help from this faceless stalker who at one point tried to run Nick over and succeeded in putting Chris' friend and co-worker Eric, Jay Pickett,in the hospital in a hit and run outside his place of business.***SPOILER*** As the truth soon comes out Nick-the caretaker-is nothing what he seems to be. He's an ex-con who's in fact working with Chris' shyster husband Jason to get her to stop divorce proceeding against him. Nick not being the schmuck that Jason plays him for soon turns the tables on him by, his favorite way of doing someone, in running him down when he refuses to play along with him, in wanting the lion's share of Chris' money, and dumping him-After he murdered Jason- and his car down a cliff to look like an accident.***SPOILERS*** It's later that Chris realizes what a dangerous and unstable person that Nick is who also kills his good friend and employer car mechanic Carl, Scott Anthony Leet, for trying to talk some sense into his thick skull. Now with the jig being up and Nick being exposed as a dangerous and murderous nut case he kidnaps Oliver and holds him hostage until his mom-Chris- empties out her bank account and give him the cash he needs to escape justice. Even here Nick royally screws himself up with Chris getting the jump and gun on him and all his crying and whimpering in making himself look like a total jerk, to get sympathy in showing what a helpless & harmless fool he is , doesn't help him one bit.

Every scene was boring, predictable and poorly written. I maybe would have enjoyed the storyline if the acting wasn't so over the top and full of clichés. I would not recommend this to anyone, even if there is nothing else on, it was very basic, a teenager could have written it.The classic con men who tricks the leading lady into loving her, puts a camera, blah blah, she finds it, realizes he is bad, he steals the son, and in the end the mum saves the sun. To sum it up, basic, boring and very very bad acting. The music was over-emphasized and rarely matched to content on screen. The only good actor was the little boy. So if your looking for a movie to watch, don't choose this one. I just wasted 2 hours of my life -__-

This movie kept me on my feet, I really didn't guess what was going on. I've seen a lot of Ivan's movies and he is always so good, as he is here. Obviously the leading lady always falls for the con just as the con knows she will. That's no different from any other movie though. There are some predictable moments in the movie, you see it coming a mile away. The movie was so good that I really didn't mind overlooking the clichéd scenes. The acting from some of the characters could use a little help, but with all that said this is still an enjoyable suspense filled movie that I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. A good Saturday night thriller.
