ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
doycesub I read the other two reviews when I was half way through this mess!! I didn't think it could be that awful but it was worse!! This was a mixture of junk that involved stupid policemen, terrorists, Federal agents abusing their power. The best part of the movie was probably left on the cutting room floor. The witness for the Feds got to decide what he wanted to do including raping a woman without One of the characters said to the Federal Agent, "Do you think I'm stupid?" My answer is "no, but they think the audience is!!!" I thought it couldn't be that bad, but it was. Why couldn't they stick to one story like Law & Order, SVU? I did see Dagmar Midcap in a small news reporter role. I thought that was interesting.
Regarding This almost worthless tripe is what everyone who derides TV movies has in mind. Awful, sometimes mannered, acting from an ensemble of plastic centerfolds, a ridiculous story, and in what other post-'60s movie has such obvious back projection been used for car-interior driving scenes? How laughably cut-rate for 2006! Otherwise, the direction is the only adequate thing about the entire enterprise. The movie is about a woman who seeks justice for a vile rape, but the script drags in all kinds of extraneous nonsense involving terrorists, corrupt, power-mad federal agents, a failing fashion business, and (deep sigh) a budding romance with the stiffest of cops. On the surface, the movie doesn't appear, overtly at least, all that bad, but there's just something a little off and phony about every single scene, to the extent that there isn't an authentic, original, or interesting moment in the entire movie.
nomad472002 unless you want or need an adrenaline rush just before going to bed, and are willing to see an ending that you've already seen a thousand times.The movie is listed as a USA production, but was filmed in Canada and has all the hallmarks of a Canadian production. Canadian movies are so bad that they make me ashamed to be Canadian. There has even been a film made once, called "Paint Cans" about how bad Canadian films are.This movie has a plot that is completely implausible, beginning with a rape that need not have occurred. It goes from bad to worse as the victim is stalked by her attacker.Towards the end, the damsel-in-distress is menaced by not one but two villains.The ending is about as plausible as the tooth-fairy.It's two hours of your life that you'll never get back.
