clareg-944-946145 Home from work sick and watched this horrid piece of crap. Predictable storyline and no real mysteries here. The script was not well written at all and full of clichés. The only mystery here is what was "Scott", a youngish and good looking guy, doing messing around with "Rosa" who was older and not attractive at all........ The actress who played Carrie the policewoman was okay but I don't get the other reviewers who thought she was so tremendous. Best of the bunch is the actor who played her partner. A very disappointing movie. From the credits it appears that it is a Canadian production. Surely we can do better than this?
vchimpanzee Carrie is a detective because her father was a cop. Her sister Elle had a different father and she sells real estate with her husband Scott. Carrie and Elle are as close as you would expect two sisters to be. They have a couple of cute scenes together, and there's even some comedy early on.Carrie and her mother, who outlived two husbands, don't get along because Carrie still doesn't have a man and that, to her mother, makes her inadequate. Elle is pregnant and due any day now, and Rosa, who she meets at the doctor's office, comments that they could share a cab to the hospital.One night Carrie is planning to have dinner with Elle and her husband, but she is asked to investigate a case involving a sex offender. This could be Davis, the same creepy guy who met with Elle earlier, first claiming he wanted to buy a house, then saying renting would be better since he moves a lot. Detective Wynn, who is a good friend to Carrie as well as a partner, takes the case instead, so Carrie is free to go to dinner.But dinner doesn't go well. Elle and Scott aren't getting along because Scott is a workaholic. He just HAS to take a business call during dinner. Then he leaves. Carrie ends up having to do the same thing.Scott returns. Where is Elle?Hours pass. The police can't do anything this soon. Still nothing. What happened to Elle?Eva LaRue is too pretty to be a detective (which is a real incentive for guys to watch), but she is a good enough actress. She has one particularly good scene where she makes clear how much the situation has upset her. But Carrie has to be a professional, and that's how she is once that one scene is done--except, of course, her chief keeps having to advise her not to get too involved in the case. This is a movie, though, so that won't work.Gina Chiarelli gives the standout performance here. We never quite know what's going on, but it's easy to put the missing pieces together. Later, we get to watch the detectives at work.Adrian Holmes and Anthony Harrison also do quite well here.There are situations in this movie that can be considered quite disturbing. Don't say you haven't been warned. Other than that, the violence is minimal.This is a pretty good movie.
Ebenezer-4 Eva LaRue played the part of Carrie perfectly. I loved seeing her on All My Children and now she is in a movie that taught me how people really act in this world. The scene in the movie that I liked was at the end when she was asking Rosa if she knew who she was. I want to be a police officer when I get older because I want to protect people from harm. Eva you taught me that family is the most important thing in life and how to live your life to the fullest. You are a hero in my eyes. You are an excellent actor and you have the talent to go very far. You are so cool and you are always going to be a role model to me. When I get older I hope to be just like you when I get older. Eva you are the best!
heatherw-3 The only redeeming feature of this movie was the acting by Eva LaRue Callahan. The story is hardly fresh (apparently the police in movie-land never listen to the news), the characters were flat as could be, the heavy handed backstory via "conversation" at the start of the movie between the sisters might as well have come via a Greek chorus for its subtlety, relationships were never fully examined... The "surprise" twist at the end was so obvious from the outset, again, where's the Greek chorus when you need it? The biggest problem the movie seemed to suffer from, though, was that it played like a mystery, with the focus being on the "crime solving" instead of the interpersonal relationships, but from the outset the writers basically told us who committed the crime. So instead of either trying to work it out with the police, or spending our time exploring the relationships between the characters, we end up wondering why they're so slow and dense. (And hello, the final scenes tying up all lose ends through more oral exposition is NOT giving your characters backstory and depth in any useful way.) Callahan, though, managed to give her character depth with the weakest of material, so while we never find out exactly why she and her sister were so incredibly close, we do feel it. This, along with hope that at some point the movie would get even a quarter of an inch below the surface, was all that could keep me watching. And as it ends, I'm wondering what I can do to get the last two hours of my Lifetime back.
