rburson I got this movie because I wanted to see Shannen Doherty in a different element from 90210 and Charmed to determine if she could really act. The answer is: No. She displayed absolutely no emotional range in the character, hardly any visible change from a constant dead-pan expression, and no deviation from a monotone delivery of dialogue or narration. The one obvious opportunity to display any kind of emotion was when she discovered that she had been conned by a trusted friend, but no, an expression of anger seemed to be too difficult, so instead we get nothing. I mean Zero. There are numerous actors who get bottled into their TV persona, but eventually break free to prove they are talented. I really was hoping Shannen Doherty would be enjoyable to watch. She wasn't. This movie stunk.
films_viewed despite only catching the film halfway through, the time when shannons already been conned, I was luckily able to catch up quickly and thankfully did because this turned out to be a better than average TV movie. Shannon doesn't bring her A game but does enough to keep us interested, I recall years ago reading a couple of bad reviews for two of her movies at the time and I think this might have been one of them which might have put me off a little before viewing this? Regardless because I think I might decide to watch another one of her films if they turn up on TV in the near future. Although the film doesn't cross the creepy line and we don't get to see any goodies of any such nature, shannon does look remarkably good. Wasn't a fan of her in 90210 (in kelly/jennies camp) or charmed (never seen it) but loved scare tactics. like the summary states, there was one too many twists leading to the climax and it did seemed force feed as you don't really see whats happening to who and remember who was crossed etc etc.
FieCrier Doherty plays a woman who when the movie begins, tries to hide some bloody garments under some snow at the roadside. She's caught and questioned, and we learn what led up to that scene.She's a paparazzi photographer, and on some of her jobs and in her home she's being stalked by a photographer who leaves behind gum. It becomes clear he means to do more than just take photos, and she hires a security consultant, and when things worsen, a hit-man.The movie takes an unexpected but welcome twist. The events also go well past the opening scene once it comers around again. There's another twist that is expected, and it's gratifying that one of the characters saw it coming too.
David, Film Freak Well, as far as TV movie thrillers go (and that's not very far), this is as good as they come.Shannen Doherty plays a photographer on the wrong side of the lens as she is stalked everywhere she goes and is caught up in a web of lies, deceit and murders.Not bad at all - fast paced and action-packed - just what I like!
