Unbelievably dumb main character


There are just too many red flags all over the place and Brooke missed all of them. No need to go into any of them, just don't waste your time on this mess of a movie.

I've never seen an amnesia type movie where the character is so easy to go home with her supposed partner! Apparently, Elisabeth did not see the Lifetime movie with Joanna Kerns or any of the other ones. LOL

She was kind of a weirdo. Then again, I cannot figure out which was worse - the acting or the writing. The girl who played Melissa was so pretty (looked like a twin of Nadia Bjorlin (!)) but was about as wooden as a toy soldier! Shanks looked like he was sleepwalking. And that Detective Jean was so bad I had to laugh. Elisabeth Rohm, who I like a lot, is a really, really, bad actress. She just does not emote. Has the same face for every occasion. it's a pretty face; but vacant. She was better in emoting in this than on Law and Order, but still pretty bad. Yet, I love to watch her all the time. Explain that!

Plus, the doctor seemed to have no problem revealing everything to a non-family member and was dumb enough to leave her alone with him even though she had bruises all over. Plus what kind of detectives follow people around for 2 days and don't make themselves known (and then say, why didn't you pull over when they never made any gesture that they wanted Shanks' Michael to pull over until he turned right!).


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Dumb.
