BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Barb67 Canadian Producer Pierre David has a one track mind. His scripts generally do too. It is as follows...Female is hurt by someone. Female swears revenge by befriending/marrying/seducing/working for the person who she feels slighted by, and then killing them. Anyone who begins to suspect her alternate identity of intent of malice is eliminated as soon as she knows they are on to her. Children are never killed, but often save the day at the end. Generally the Villainous female is killed in the attempt for "Final Justice", meaning the death of the one she got closest to.This is the same for at least 100 Pierre David Films, with a few variations here and there, but if you're a huge fan of "Psycho Chick" films ALA "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" or "Fatal Attraction"... This is for you.If not... You'll likely laugh, complain, or just turn it off.
jwiltz8 This is a wickedly classic take on the "I'll get my revenge" type of movie that are my favorites. Lisa Zane was a hoot as the vengeful nurse and Janet Gunn was perfect as the daughter who never trusted her from the beginning and was aware every time the nurse slipped up with her lies. The added touch of having the man who suffered a stroke be able to hear and comprehend everything that the nurse planned to do to his family as payback and not be able to stop her and warn them made this movie more chilling.This movie was like a well-made Lifetime TV movie and I have always enjoyed the movies directed by Robert Malenfant and when I see his name on the credits I know it will be enjoyable and fun to watch.
suemartin23264 If you're expecting 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle', please don't watch this, because even if it's got near enough the same plot, it Definitely isn't in the same league. That said, this is still a very gripping, and in places, darkly comical thriller.Lisa Zane stars as a professional nurse, who gets a call from her father while working, who says that 'she has got to be strong'. However, he implies that he is going to do something terrible to himself, his wife and his son. Sure enough, he picks up a gun, loads it with bullets, and shoots his wife and his son (both whom are asleep). Lisa gets home just in time to see her father shoot himself on the stairs... Lisa blames her father's boss for these terrible events, as he has filed a case against her father for embezzling. When his boss hears about the shootings, he suffers a stroke, which leaves him totally paralysed. On being taken home, Lisa sees her opportunity to get revenge. The man needs a nurse to take care of him. However, before Lisa can scheme her way in, another Nurse is hired. The solution to the problem: kill the nurse. Soon after this death, she weasels her way into the family, and there, she begins to stage her ultimate revenge...If you're in the UK, you can catch this on Zone Thriller some time, as I did last night. If you're in America, there is a DVD of this film which is quite cheap to buy, so no-one has an excuse for missing this.If you get the chance, tune in!
twisted_sista Lisa Zane is great as the nurse out to get revenge on the man she holds responsible for her familys death. I like this movie as it doesnt take itself too seriously and their are a few unintentional funny parts. Its no blockbuster but its definately worth watching.
