MarieGabrielle If you are a James Patterson fan you will probably not have a problem with the film; if you are more film and visual oriented, too many scenes will remind you of Hitchcock, and also "Basic Instinct"(even the soundtrack is exactly the same, and the initial camera angles over the San Francisco coast are TOO similar).Nicholas Jenks is possibly the narcissistic killer. Angie Everhart is surprisingly good as his wife.Tracy Pollan is not bad, trying a bit too hard; Megan Gallagher and Pam Grier are good, respectively, as the D.A. and County Medical Examiner. Carly Pope as a cub reporter is way over the top. Okay, they needed a younger cast member who could relate to the victims, but she is given way too much screen time. Also I seriously doubt that when there is a brutal homicide, a curious person can enter the hotel room, pretending to deliver flowers.Overall a little too contrived for audiences expecting more in this genre. 6/10

WolfishEyez That's right, you heard me. I am a huge fan of James Patterson. I own 10 of his books, and I have read the entire series about Lindsey Boxer. In my opinion, the screenwriter should be shot. What right did any film maker have to slaughter a terrific work of fiction and make it into a mockery of the mystery genre? If I ever thought that Harry Potter was butchered, then Michael O'Hara has proved me wrong. I can only pray that the next screenwriter who tackles this fabulous book will do it a great deal more justice. To Michael O'Hara and Russell Mulcahy: don't quit your day job.

whpratt1 Enjoyed this TV film from beginning to end and the plot kept me wondering just how this story was suppose to come to a conclusion! Tracy Pollan,(Lindsay Boxer),"A Stranger Among Us",'92, gave an outstanding depiction of a detective who was bound and determined to find out what was happening to all the Brides and Grooms. Gil Bellows,(Chris Raleigh),"EMR",'04 was another cop who had a hard time trying to understand Lindsay and her way of thinking about her job and life. Robert Patrick,(Nicholas Jenks),"Supercross",'04 gave an outstanding performance and was able to make everyone grow to HATE HIM. It was horrible to see all these young couples happy on their honeymoons and having to face such TERROR! Great entertaining FILM!

MeowyWowwy In watching this TV movie I thought that it was much truer to the book then previous attempts to put Patterson on screen. Tracy Pollan was believable as the lead character and it followed the book plot. But as in the other adaptations, I feel that the minor characters were not developed enough. The relationship of the women in the "Murder Club" was not fully explained, but all in all they fit the descriptions given in the book. In "Along Came the Spider" and "Kiss the Girls" (theatrical releases), I felt that the casting of Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross was way off and none of the secondary characters which make the books so much better were explored. These movies on their own might be pleasing to the general public if they are not readers of Mr. Patterson's work, but were disappointing and lacking to myself as an avid reader of the books. If you are looking for a good adaptation, "1st to Die" is worth the time.
