I really enjoyed this book and so I may have set my expectations for the movie a little too high - I was a bit disappointed. Although the movie followed the book closely, I thought that Heather Locklear was too old for the character of Reese. She also did not fit the book's description of Reese. I also believed that the actress that played Joanie was not a good fit and she was not as important a character in the movie as she was in the book. Jonathan Schaech, however, was a wonderful choice for Brody as was the actor that played the doctor. I still enjoyed the movie. I should have known better than to expect the movie to be as good as the book.

where the faces are different, but the underlying message is still the same. This is a brand-new movie, and yet I've seen it a thousand times before.The last fifteen minutes of it are as predictable as a sunrise, right from the opening credits.Can the Hollywood producers not come up with a different idea, a new ending for their so called "thriller"s? Do they still believe that this type of ending has any thrill at all, when it's been done so many times? I'm not familiar with Nora Roberts as a writer, but this looks like it could well have been written by Mary Higgins Clark, or by me, for that matter.I wouldn't rate this higher than 4 on the Richter scale.

I have long been a fan of Nora Roberts, but never had the chance to see any of her work retold in a movie. It was definitely worth the wait.I don't think the plot was altered all that much from how the story was originally told, although there were some things added or changed a bit to throw suspicion around.The parts that were cut from the story(understandably) did not detract from the movie version - both were excellent. I could identify with both of the lead actors as playing their characters straight from the book. Johnathon Schaech was especially good as Brody and was well matched with Heather Locklear as Reese. The other characters fit in almost as well, with some minor differences that I had pictured in my mind. But, of course, everyone sees things a bit differently.I hope the next three movies are done as well as this one was.

Heather Locklear gives a benevolent performance in Angels Fall, which premiered on Lifetime tonight.The story goes like this: After her car breaks down in a Wyoming town, Reese (Locklear) takes a job in a diner to make ends meet. Meanwhile, many of the locals pry into her past and learn she previously witnessed a shooting in Boston. When Reese sees what she believes is a murder, her credibility is called into question on account of her past.Locklear shines here, and she is absolutely beautiful (has she ever had a bad hair day?!). Hunky Johnathon Schaech does a nice job. Competent actors, beautiful locations, professional cinematography, effective score and a solid story, make for an above-average thriller in Norah Robert's Angels Fall. Recommended. 9/10
