Bereamic Awesome Movie

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

bellebrise I watched a very little of this film, coming into a point twenty minutes into the story. The butler was a cardboard caricature, clearly someone who would be disowned by every school of butling in the country - although the USA may be a little short in that regard. The male and female leads entered and were seated. The widow whom they were visiting, with no good purpose probably, joined them and offered them tea. After a brief and stilted exchange the female lead, Madchen, goes to the bathroom. Coming out she takes advantage of the fact that she is alone, to examine the bureau and look at some stuff. She then goes into the bedroom and has a root around on the desk, before opening the wardrobe and examining the shirts of the deceased male. So we know from this one scene that the "heroine", the poor wronged woman, is in fact a nasty prying person, with neither manners or morals. Whatever the other woman may have done, we are on her side now.

ewoodeva The twist where obvious, and the links from clue to clue where so forced. Have seen worse films but not by far. The films starts with the news thats Jeans husband who died 5 years ago wasn't dead after all and had died the previous day hence the detectives visit to jean. This was enough to catch my attention but the film did not live up to what could have been a very intriguing plot.The police can only confirm that her husband is dead and take the case no further, no post mortem and no questions ask, the film then turns romance based which also fails to capture the imagination.certainly won't go down in history as a classic, give this one a miss

kajtek Bad acting (except Mädchen Amick, who is OK), awful dialogs, poor plot but could pass if not the dialogs and acting. Predictable and boring plot. I can go on and on with negativity. Just awful. The first 10 minutes is interesting and intriguing although poor acting is obvious almost from the beginning. Police finds dead men whose wife thought that he had died in boating accident five years ago. There were so many ways to keep the film interesting. I do not think that even good acting could save the film unless somebody would rewrite the script. The rest of the 90 minutes I consider as a wasted time. You can check if you have the same taste but I warned you.

Bob Peterson Caught this one on cable the other night. I actually thought it was enjoyable. It's about a couple who are separated after a tragic event years ago and reunited years later. The lady finds out he didn't die until recently. She goes to Detroit with a former cop-turned P.I., to investigate further as to what happened. She gets to know the investigator quite well and ends up falling in love with him. This was a good movie with some lesser known actors who keep the movie going! It stars Madchen Amick as Jean the widow and Andrew Walker as the investigator that accompanies her to Detroit. Definitely worth checking it out if you're into a drama or a good thriller!!
