He Knows Your Every Move (2018 TV Movie) User Reviews

Unremarkable made-for-TV thriller

[p1phillips · 5/10 · 16 March 2019]

I love all things TV movie, but this thriller was pretty underwhelming. Molly takes her laptop to get fixed, and soon after meets Jack, who seems to be Mr. Perfect. Coincidence? Of course not! While we, the viewer, know that somebody (I wonder who) has hacked into Molly's laptop to learn everything about her, Molly isn't so quick to catch on. However, Jack's clingy behaviour raises red flags, prompting her to call things off, which is when the weirdness ramps up.

This film takes its time to get going, and when events start escalating, they aren't interesting or creepy enough to overcome the long build-up it took to get to them. I admittedly like a bit of over-the-top crazy in my Lifetime thrillers, but this plays it fairly straight and, well, plodding. Performances are fine for this sort of thing. Rosalie McIntosh, who I've never heard of before, is a good find, and does well in the lead.

Good Story, Mediocre Acting

[Kristamw · 6/10 · 3 September 2019]

So, another good story line, though quite predictable. Quality of Writing: Generic writing, though a good plot that works well. Just would have been nice to see better acting ("Jack" plays his role quite convincingly, but Molly isn't very intriguing to watch). Scare factor: "Jack" is at first overwhelming with his pushy display of affection and omnipresence, then he turns controlling and threatening, which is first done through a physical distance and then becomes more intense when he is physically present. Content (sex, language & violence): No sex shown, but MC is seen in her underwear and bra several times (mostly to show a scar). No language. Violence is mild and physically shown only in one instant at the end. Values: Seeking truth, friendship, friends looking out for each other, using good judgment The main character is okay as an actress, but she didn't bring much to the role, especially for someone who's in danger and whose life is being taken over; she remains too meek and non-reactive. The supporting cast was more exciting to watch.

Typical Lifetime Stalker/Obsession/Psycho Movie

[DFerg7223 · 5/10 · 4 February 2020]

Not sure why some people are so gullible. And who wouldn't notice the red light blinking on their laptop????

The Black Undies Show...

[veronicammartin · 2/10 · 21 February 2019]

This film had lots of promise,- beautiful girl takes her computer in to be repaired and then meets perfect guy who shares all her interests. But at every opportunity she is there posing in black undies ... Most of it was totally gratuitous, especially when she is just with her female companions. Maybe the director is old and creepy. In these days of METOO however, the unnecessary black undies are a bit of a surprise.

The plot line was obvious from the start. Drew Seeley though is very good as the unnerving stalker/ boy friend. The comeuppance though was disappointing and too quick. Given that, why was the final scene so totally confusing ?

Very Lifetime inspired feel to it

[charvelstrat81 · 5/10 · 10 April 2019]

This was not really a bad movie but it had a really strong Lifetime movie feel to it. Unfortunately i am not exactly a fan of LT movies so that detracted from this movie for me.I would have enjoyed the story a lot more had it been shot in a more typical cinematic way. The story was pretty good(not really convinced how true to life the circumstances about PC repair are in this i have my doubts) but overall it was not what i would call boring. The beginning was a bit slow but it picks up. It passed the time :)

Boring ordinary psychopath obsession, with good lesson!

[NijazBaBs · 4/10 · 28 April 2019]

Nothing exciting to see except a bit of extreme personality disorder in this psycho. He is extremely obsessed with not only one girl but with any girl he can spy. Nothing extraordinary, this movie is not worth watching, except if you wanna see a little not so funny comedy. Everything is negative, childish, and ordinary. Just a bit extreme. There are no very intense moments, but weaker than you imagined. Definitely not a thriller. Most of the movie is just pure childish talk. Not worth spending a time, although the fact that it shows how things really are around us. Psychos do exist, so if you need a confirmation or example of that fact, only then this is for you. There are missing details of computer hacking and in everything. So little details. Lesson is obvious, it is not to trust anyone such as computer repairers or anybody who can have access to our personal data. The actor reminds me a bit of Spiderman.

The plot was obvious

[marwanek · 7/10 · 10 January 2019]

Well, it was a movie with an obvious plot. Why? Because it has been done before. The concept was not new, but despite that I enjoyed the movie. So I have to give credits, that they still managed to pull this concept off.

The actors were great, they all had talent.

It has a slow pace of building tension the first 30 minutes.

The music was a little bit amateuristic but it fitted in the movie.

Molly's 20-Minute Meals

[lavatch · 3/10 · 5 January 2021]

Miss Molly Hoyt is a dynamic ap personality, sharing her home cooking with creative recipes for those on the move. Unfortunately, she attracts a sociopath who happens to be the computer geek who services her laptop and thereby invades every aspect of her life.

Molly's rise to fame began with her program "Molly's 20-Minute Meals." Her new friend Jack knows everything about her. From the very beginning when they met at a bar, Jack already knew that Molly was a fan of film noir. This and other details that he intuitively grasped seemed too convenient.

By contrast, we know virtually nothing about Stuart Reinbeck (a.k.a., Jack Newsome), and that is the major shortcoming of the film. In fact, by the end of the film neither Molly nor the film audience knows anything about this psycho's past.

Early in the film, Molly's friends warn her about the excessive attention Jack is lavishing upon her. Yet when she questions him about the basics of his past (school, family, hometown), there is deathly silence.

It was clear that Jack was creepy from the outset and that Molly was too fast in the intimacy department and too slow in figuring out that he was big time trouble. There wasn't much of a lesson from this slow burner of a film, other than to get to know a little bit about your partner's past from the outset and to make certain that you know who is servicing your laptop computer.

Remember it's TV movie

[ks-60500 · 5/10 · 28 October 2019]

Above average given its TV movie and theme is kinda repetition but it's ok, since TV movie is TV movie, don't expect too much

What happens at the computer store

[adamgierasch · 8/10 · 27 November 2018]

Have you ever wondered if the computer techs look at all your private stuff when they repair your computer? This movie asked that disturbing question. Fun and creepy.

A cautionary tale - quite educational stay around for the later part

[phd_travel · 8/10 · 12 January 2019]

This movie is a little slow initially when it comes to getting the wackoness going but at least it's not too far fetched. It turns into a pretty good cautionary tale. A woman sends her computer for repair. Somehow this guy gets her info and woos her knowing all the things in common. He's a bit too intense and they break up and then things start getting interesting when he starts doing things with the information. Cash draining from her bank account, fake reviews in her name, sabotaging her work with risqué photos, plagiarism etc. The things people can do with online identity range far beyond just credit card fraud. It's quite eye opening.

The cast is nice - Rosalie the main actress is pretty. Drew Seeley has been doing some Lifetime wackos lately and he's pretty effective.

Worth a watch.
