Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

xhidden99 If Andy Warhol was still alive making intentionally awful movies he'd make this one. Script and executive production by Nancy Grace. Stars Ron Artest and Jenny Garth. Jenny plays a...hold on.....a dumb blonde ex DA who got a serial rapist murderer convicted of 7 or 8 murders and put on death row. But because someone littered once, a random judge grants him a new trial and releases him without bail. He tells his lawyer he's going to kill the DA and lawyer shrugs. So he goes on a psycho killing rampage. The ex DA is now a psychiatrist or something. Maybr she's a man hating 'host'on HLN like Nancy Grace. Not sure. Anyway blondy is blonde, the cops are dumb guidos and psycho killer guy is slightly more violent and crazy than Hannibal Lecter. Maybe Ron Artest will box him like he's in the NBA. By the end I'm sure blondy will defeat evil shr os woman hear her roar. It's not a movie it's a Lifetime Movie.

trepessa This by no means is a bad movie. Jennie Garth is a TV actress in a movie from Lifetime. It is a television movie and not a major motion picture that would be shown in theaters. It is meant to entertain only and that is what it does. I don't believe this would appeal to most men because it has a female lead who is strong but haunted by the violence and an incident with a very heinous murderer in court. Most Lifetime and LMN movies are basically geared toward a female audience. I have seen many movies of this type and this one is no worse. I write and I didn't see anything wrong with the plot or the characters. The acting is fine for the parts they are playing. It is actually very straight forward about a psychopathic serial killer who becomes obsessed with getting even with his prosecutor. Now this isn't a new idea but it doesn't need to be. It's how it is portrayed within the movie. There is no way any movie or novel is likely these days to come up with anything new or improved that hasn't been done one way or another, yet this had a secret that comes out in the end. I like Jennie Garth and she does a good job in the movie as well as the supporting cast. Cunningham is a good villain in this movie and is believably deranged. I think many of the reviewers simply have no expertise in writing, film making or judging acting. Be that as it may, the movie is average, entertaining for a little over an hour. I believe it deserves a better rating than most are giving and it is not a bad film. It all depends on the taste of the individual watching. If you like simple murder mystery psychological thrillers with a pretty straight forward plot you will be entertained by this one.

candyapplegrey I've said this review contains a spoiler but really the title itself does that, given that they start with seven victims … A film that doesn't really need to bother with stuff like realistic characters, plotting or dialogue, presuming that if we're willing to suspend disbelief enough to accept Jennie Garth (yes you know her – Kelly from 'Beverly Hills 90210') as a hotshot lawyer who seamlessly metamorphoses into a successful therapist, we'd pretty much go along with anything. And not wonder (in a physician, heal thyself, kind of way) why Jennie (let's not bother with character names since she doesn't bother to act), intelligent psychiatrist, doesn't wean herself off the anxiety pills she's been on since her last case but instead has to continually reach for them in a panic at the slightest sound.Sometimes I think that film as a whole would be immeasurably improved if there were a veto against flashbacks. Jennie obviously agrees with me. Forced to endure acting a series of flashbacks of being throttled, she reasons that it's not worth wasting too much effort on these, opting not to bother to change her expression when strangled. She simply looks a little peeved, like she might have to (but maybe not) miss a hair appointment. She greets most of the events in the movie with this look of mild annoyance and a hair toss. Inexplicably antagonistic to the police, she accuses them of suspecting her of the murder although they haven't shown any sign of this and appear completely bemused by her attitude.I soon find myself wishing that the serial killer of the seven women would make Jennie his eighth victim (for crimes against acting although I have to hold the director partly responsible) granting us a merciful release from the rest of the movie – another three victims' long (we would have to alter the title to 'The Eighth Victim') and Jennie would not have to spout such lines as 'I think he's playing some sick game with me'. She tries to call the police, saying it's a matter of 'life or death'. Unfortunately, her lack of emphasis means it comes across more like a matter of 'deep pan or thin crust' so she doesn't quite get the response she wants.With the killer eventually confessing to his crimes in detail, as they almost always do in these movies, Jennie symbolically chucks her tablets away, even though the last time he was caught and in jail, she took them all the time. Where's the logic?Anyway, hope springs eternal that someone out there will like this garbage so be very afraid, the door has been left open for a sequel. After seeing this though, you'll want to slam it shut. Otherwise – 'The Twelfth Victim' anyone?

dancinqueen47 Thinking about it, I don't know why I gave this three stars - it barely deserved one! It was truly the worst of the worst Lifetime or LMN movies ever made. That's saying a lot, because a whole lot of them are pretty bad. I watched for about 50 minutes and then decided this was only going downhill, with no hope of redemption, so I gave up on it. I didn't watch 90210, so I am not familiar with Jennie Garth, but if this performance is indicative of the quality of her acting she definitely needs to find a job that's a better match to her skills. Acting certainly isn't one of them! I also don't watch Nancy Grace much, but if this story is indicative of her writing skill, and it appears to be, well...Nancy, give up writing, right now cause it's absolutely not working for you! So much of this was so pathetic and nonsensical. One of the more ridiculous things was when Jennie asked the the detective about his leads. He said they had been considering several different leads. She then became overly defensive and accused him of accusing her of being the murderer (which he very certainly had not)! Of course, she shamelessly overacted. This one was so much worse than the customary Lifetime stinker - it was so amazingly bad that I will never again watch any Lifetime movie. In my experience, out of 10 movies run on Lifetime and/or Lifetime Movie Network, 2 may be halfway decent, 4 may be pretty bad, 2 may be really, really bad and 2, like this one, are truly an amazing and disrespectful insult to viewers! I suggest they start showing an on-screen, prior to showing movies: "Warning! This is unsuitable for anyone with an I.Q. exceeding 55." Ba-bye Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network!
