OK to while away an hour or so but the main protagonist (Paula Devicq) has a fairly thankless task with such an unsympathetic character, which is a shame as the actress usually gives a decent account for herself in other roles.
As usual with TV Movies, female hard-bitten is made to appear just this side of sociopathic so we poor slavering dolts don't get too confused with the (inevitable) redemption scene. The trouble with this kind of identikit script writing is that you just can't believe anyone falling for her, or giving her the benefit of the doubt, even when your critical faculties are set to brain dead.
I wish, just occasionally, that TV Movie Production teams would realize that a little subtlety goes a long way and might even increase their ratings.
