I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Blistering performances.

Tv movies can make the best sometimes. The film is all about a very dangerous girl, who lacks any compassion and has stolen the identity of an innocent student that she murdered, all so that she could get an easy flight. The acting was excellent and totally realistic. Brienne, whoever she is, the evil girl of the film itself, played by Tracey Gold comes across as so horrible. She's got that twisted smirk and shaggy hair, making her look completely sinister. I'm dumbfounded that the father of Brienne's roommate was easily taken by Brienne, and allowed her to chop off his hair, symbolic of Samson losing his strength. After she cut his hair, the father lost his senses and was easily duped by her. There were a few extremely tense moments that almost gave me an asthma attack, one scene with the finger in the door. I think this Brienne character should be ranked alongside other evil women such as Samara Morgan.

Plot: Girl needs money, so she kills traveler and assume her identity. She works her way into rich roommate's father's affections. Roommate finds her out and tries to warn father--almost too late. Themes: Maybe someone you know is not who they say they are; maybe you are sitting next to a serial killer, and you are their next target. Artists, in general are nuts. Men are clueless when it comes to weeding out serial killers from their dating calendar. Men who date women who are much younger than themselves become stupid from erotic love, and the women they pursue are gold diggers. Structure: great acting and writing. Critique: not as scary as a 10 like Psycho, but more likely and, therefore, scarier in a way.

you may be able to watch the entire movie throughout, without questioning the storyline. I do like her in most performances, so stuck it out.The one problem is Perry king, not sure what age he was at the time of this film (indeed, he seems ageless since 1985). At any rate, if the sociopath Gold character had pursued him, and he was, a bit younger and more handsome, it may have been believable.Basically Gold portrays an artist, who gets what she wants at any cost. She changes identity with a college student, befriend her wealthy roommate (Shawnee Smith) and eventually sets her sights on her roommate's father (King).The film has some nice winter sets in New England, but the storyline a bit hard to swallow. Tracey Gold gives a decent performance. 6/10.

Tracey Gold,(Darcy Palmer),"A Crime of Passion,TV",'99, showed her great acting abilities and was able to have the audience actually hate her for this role in which she plays a very BAD BAD GIRL! The real star of the film is Shawnee Smith,(Jeanelle Polk),"Never Get Outta the Boat",'02, who plays a very rich boring and depressing rich girl who has everything and a dad who lives in a home like the White House! Perry King,(Russell Polk),"Her Married Lover",'99, plays the role as a depressed man who lost his wife and at the same time loves his daughter Jeanelle who becomes friends with Darcy. Don Harvey(Quinn Harris),"She Hate Me",'04, plays a mean bad guy who has great interest in Darcy Palmer. All the actors gave great performances and made this TV film very entertaining.
