This was the usual Lifetime movie storyline of a young woman who's head over heels with a guy whom she doesn't know is a serial killer on the loose. However the sister/mother has suspicions which are confirmed halfway through, *yawn*. If I had a quarter for every time this plot device was repeated, I'd probably have enough money to buy myself a car (maybe a Tesla).
The acting and cinematography were dull, The characters were unbelievable, and it would've been a bit better with someone else playing Olivia. I've seen rocking chairs, carved sculptures, and kitchen cabinets that were less wooden than Revell Carpenter's acting.
Rib Hillis's role in the movie was no different than all of his other villainous roles, though I originally believed that he was innocent and that there would be some sort of twist. But I learn to not have such high expectations and standards for LMN flicks because they will leave you disappointed.
And of course there had to be a point where the psycho trapped the object of his obsession in a place far away from any civilization and no cell service. And the mother/sister/relative had to rescue her. If I had a quarter for every time THAT plot device was reused and repeated, I'd probably have enough money to buy myself a decent, two story house.
It's sad that the actors of these films care more about getting paid than actually entertaining their audiences. So they don't even try putting their all into their acting skills. I'm still hoping for 2023 to be the year Lifetime starts turning themselves around and start caring more about quality than quantity. Though like I said in my previous review I shouldn't get my hopes up. I'm not expecting their movies to be the same type of quality and budget as Hollywood produced movies, just, better THAN this! Please?
