Fatal Performance (2013 TV Movie) User Reviews

It's Bad !

[carolynocean · 5/10 · 2 November 2021]

I have seen a lot worse, but I did watch it through , its hard to stop watching when a movie is so ridiculous.

The acting was terrible , it is after all a B movie , and sometimes they do venture into comedy land , unintentionally, and thats the good part !

Watch out for the scene with the two hookers dressed in red ( how cliched is that ) , they were solicting in a deserted area ! Hilarious !

As I said , not the worst , but worth a look , if only for a laugh or two.

Bloody Awful

As a Canadian, I cringe when I see a movie is Canadian. Our government, therefore, my tax dollars, go towards grants for these movies. Every week, dozens of these awful movies are churned out. I watch my tax dollars continue to fund these terrible movies. I write to my government officials, but they don't care.

If you watch this, I really hope you didn't pay for it. Movies like this are evidence that anyone can be an actor. Acting skill not required.

I can not find one thing about this movie to say was even OK. Everything was dismal. Even something as simple as the camera-work, all bad. I am just saddened that I can not rate below a 1 star.

This is just another example of a movie that shouldn't have been made and another massive waste of my Canadian tax dollars.

A GREAT COMEDY!

WAS THIS A COMEDY?????? IT IS CLASSIC COMEDY! AND SUCH GREAT PERFORMANCES TOO! The impersonator looks NOTHING LIKE LISA THOMAS! She is a foot taller and her face is the exact opposite of Lisa's! One is petite, one is a big ox! I laughed till I cried! A GREAT COMEDU!

PATHETIC!

This is the worst piece of GARBAGE ever on any screen! She could have proven she impersonated her and she looks ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE THE WOMAN SHE WAS IMPERSONATING...NOTHING!

Oh wow!!

The only good thing about this movie is Miranda Frigon and her legs.

Awful terribly acted terribly scripted nonsense.

Pass it by you'll live longer and remain sane.

A true celluloid cinematic classic

[paulgibson-29806 · 10/10 · 13 February 2024]

With 'Fatal Performance', George Erschbamer has truly raised the bar in movie directing. This is a film that both entertains and terrifies the discerning viewer in equal measure and great credit should be bestowed upon Maureen Webb and Natalie Kiwi who assembled such a talented group of thespians at the top of their game. Shawn Whitney is obviously a scriptwriter of great talent judged by this celluloid masterpiece and it is hoped that we can look forward to much more of the same in the future.

Although all of the actors put in first class performances, especial mention should be reserved for Craig March as Detective Maitland who delivers an acting masterclass. It is criminal that the guy isn't a household name given his undoubted talent and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he were to garner numerous awards in the future.

A realistic plot only adds to the viewers enjoyment. The scene where Nicholle Tom as Dana Tilly enters an unlocked house and searches an open briefcase and unlocked computer leaves the viewer both exhilarated and satisfied and I have to admit that the finale where the detective presents a bunch of flowers to Dana reduced me to tears.

I was actually gutted when this cinematic classic came to an end and one can only hope that a sequel is in the offing and a suitable title for such a long anticipated project could be 'Fatal Performance Part 2'.

Overall, this magical movie should serve as a warning to all aspiring actresses who bear an uncanny resemblance to corrupt and unhinged doppelgangers to think twice before impersonating them for large sums of money and for balaclava clad baddies to avoid fast moving vehicles when chasing vulnerable young ladies when it is dark.

Hugely recommended!
