sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** It takes a while for the made for TV movie "Still Small Voices" to get it's act together with 911 emergency operator Michael Summer, Catherine Bell, tracking down what exactly has been driving her almost insane since she almost bled to death on the operating table giving birth to a stillborn child. Michael had since been suffering hallucinations on her job and nightmares in her sleep about something that happened some thirty years ago that she's somehow connected to.Forced to take an unwanted vacation by her boss Sgt. Gillett, Eugene Clark, Michael is then drawn to this out of the way town in rural Pennsylvania called Starlight. It's there that Michael is confronted with an event that in some strange way is responsible for what she's been going through the last few weeks the drowning of local 10 year-old girl Carrie Waverly, Emily Swiss. Just as were introduced to Carrie and the circumstances of her death or disappearance were confronted with this other ten year-old girl Nellie Lipton, Kendra Mio, who disappeared about the same time that Carrie did. What now comes into the picture, with the connection between Carrie and Nellie, is just what the two girls have to do with each other!The film saves all it fireworks and surprises for the very end and it's well worth waiting for with the story up until then leaving it's audience almost totally confused to what's going on. Michaels visions of what happened to Carrie are right on target and so accurate to the point where they pinpoint to just who was responsible for both her kidnapping and possible murder a convicted both serial murder and arsonist named Burton Hayes, Charles Martin Smith.The both shocking and totally out of the blue surprise ending is a bit too much to take but after it's sprung you realize that it's about the only thing that ties, as unrelated as they are, all the loose ends of the movie together. Michael discovers the truth behind Carrie's disappearance and that truth has to do with someone very close to her. There's also the story of this wild looking guy who keeps popping up in the movie with a star-like tattoo on his chest and ax who keeps breaking down doors. We and Michael get the impression that he had something to do with Carrie's, as well as her friends Nellie, death or disappearance.****SPOILER ALERT**** It's only at the very end of the movie that Michael realizes that he, the crazy looking tattooed guy, was in fact the person who saved Carrie's life when she was left to die in a burning building by that psycho Burton Hayes. The "Star-Man" not realizing that Nellie was already dead tried to later rescue her like he did Carrie only to end up dying in the flames. As for Carrie she not only survived but grew up into adulthood and it's those circumstances and the person responsible for them that's undoubtedly the big surprise at the conclusion of "Still Small Voices".

tinlizzy08 What an outstanding movie! Kudos to all involved with this project, from the director to the writer to the actors/actresses. They all did an outstanding job, especially the multi-talented Catherine Bell. Wow! She totally blew me away with her performance as the tormented Michael, you could literally feel her pain and anguish as she sorted through her visions and uncovered the truth.I've seen Catherine give some outstanding performances on JAG, and she totally was in her element and gave her all to her portrayal as Michael.Like was said above, you have to pay close attention to the curves, and it was fun trying to unravel the mystery right along with Michael.

weemidge I thought this movie was excellent....it was basically a one-woman show, and Catherine Bell didn't disappoint! The twists, turns and surprises kept you guessing, and the way the movie wrapped things up and resolved itself was very well done.The rest of the cast was excellent, and this is one movie I'll watch over and over.The range of emotions shown in this movie took the viewer on a complete roller-coaster ride, the person you thought was the "bad" guy really wasn't, it just kept you guessing the entire time. The mind is a complex machine, and the way our minds heal & try to protect us, but then can play tricks on us, well that's pretty much what the movie was all about!

gttnmyphd I honestly wasn't a Lifetime channel watcher because the movies are always the same, but this one knocked me out. It was better than most I've seen in theaters. I thought I solved the mystery a couple times, but was wrong. Talk about plot twists! And everything added up at the end. The acting was very good across the board. Catherine Bell was great, totally believable and played the role very sympathetically on many levels without that typical Lifetime blubbering. I hadn't seen much of her before this. (I never saw Jag, but remember her from Bruce Almighty) We talked about the movie for twenty minutes after it ended, going over how things added up (like the Sixth Sense)and it really did add up. If you haven't seen it...PAY ATTENTION! There's one part we couldn't figure out...I won't spoil, had to do with losing some hair, but that's all I'll say, so I'm definitely watching it again to relive all those moments and figure that one out too. I never write comments on these sites. A+
