I hated it!!

Did you read the book? They butchered this great book with crappy actors...Jamie Pressely as Britt? blech....that woman can't act her way out of a paper bag.

I think I even saw Sandra Brown in the movie in a cameo...she must have been disappointed in this crap. They left out a lot from the book!!!

Heaven forbid someone has a different opinion than you. x.x
I didn't read the book and for me it was a nice evening entertainement show plus honestly I love Currie Graham and I only watched for him. He's excellent in everything he does.

I just watched this on Lifetime this afternoon. It was very good and well written, acted and directed.

I'm not used to seeing Currie Graham in a hero role so I was really pleased to see how well he did.

I thought Jamie Pressly was terrific in her heroine role. And that last kick the bad guy's butt scene was a real hand clapper.

Nobody cares about the book, genius. THIS is a movie, not a book.

There was nothing wrong with the movie. Much better than average in quality for a tv movie. A few places stretched my believability, but this was needed to keep the story going. The acting was just fine. This was a lot better than most of the garbage we see on tv every day.

Me too. A cut above the usual made-for-TV movies.

Had to suspend belief in a couple of places but Jaime Pressly was eye candy - and I liked Larissa Larkin as the judge (knew she was in on it but couldn't figure how) and Blu Mankuma as the head detective. His partner, I could belt in the chops for his snarky attitude - which means he did a good job. :-)

Those who read the book raise Hell about the actors chosen and pan the film - to each his own. Lifetime just had the slot listed as "Movie" so I blindly taped it. Glad I did.

But it could have been better. This has a fairly good story I admit. The two leads were a bit incoherent at times. I didn't really like any of the characters. I actually think that the story deserves a better treatment.
