Alicia I love this movie so much
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
evening1 This movie kept me guessing throughout. You don't know who the killer is until the last, extremely creepy, scene.Somehow Katie was traumatized in her youth. Apparently she lost her mother and self-soothed by singing a nursery rhyme.Now, in adulthood, she remains disturbed and it's only a really disturbed guy who can turn her on. She's where she needs to be in this movie's final frame, and we and she have been assured she'll be well taken care of. Finally, she can be safe -- and maybe that explains her preternatural smile at the end. Her professor has been her ticket to security after all....only it's not the type of security one would initially have expected.Not at all bad a film for made-for-TV.
afamouspetty This may contain spoilers.This movie is not as horrible, in my opinion as many before me had stated.The movie itself is a little laggy with some boring parts that are hard to stay tuned to.This movie has flashbacks in a his view / her view type of situation. But who do you believe? A student falls for her married teacher with murder in the end.I personally don't think this is a must watch or even that suspenseful as many things give the ending away about 1/3 of the way through it.If nothing else is on and you find yourself looking for 2 hours to kill on a made for TV movie then give it a chance. It is just OK for me.
Susie-7 By definition, a suspense film is supposed to be full of suspense. However, it is a little hard to feel said suspense when you know the ending, the so-called "twist" in the plot, and so forth, five minutes into the movie. Everything was consistent; all the pieces fit together at the end and there's none of that "that didn't make sense" feeling like there is with some films. (Warning! The following statements may be spoiler-esque.) But the early scenes were too revealing, particularly Katie's memory of the robbery- not so much where she tells the cop what happened, but when she's just thinking about it privately. I think the writers have been reading too many psych text books. I think it's a decent plot twist in and of itself, but it was made too obvious for anyone who's ever read anything about it. Perhaps they got too carried away with how clever they were to actually incorporate and conceal it cleverly in the story.
Eva Ionesco From the moment this film opens, it grabs hold of you and never lets go till the final frame. A woman who we later find out is Katie Griffin, drives to a police station and tells the police that there has been a car crash, and that a woman has been killed. She thinks that her lover, the man she had an affair with for the last eight months, has killed his wife so he could inherit his wife's money, and marry her. She thinks he must have tampered with her car, to make it go off the road.The wife is not actually dead, but in a coma. Her husband is a writer, and teaches a ten-week writing course. The police confront him and escort him to the hospital. His story is that they never had an affair, that she was just an obsessive student of his, in love with him and making a terrible nuisance of herself. If the car was tampered with to kill the wife, then she would have done it out of jealousy.Both their stories fit all the known facts. Their descriptions of events differ, but they both talk about the same events. The audience is kept guessing all the way through. Which one of their stories is true? Although many murder mysteries use artificial devices to keep the audience guessing, this brilliantly-written, brilliantly-directed film does it only with utterly believable, appropriate plot and character development.Near the end, when Katie hands over photos to the detective, the truth is revealed. But although the detective now knows the truth, the audience doesn't actually see what's in those photos until the very satisfying, yet very surprising, end. If you love murder mysteries, and you love good films, this would certainly be one of the best you'll ever see.
