I think "Tonygreenbank" was too polite in his review. This movie is so bad it is compulsive viewing. I started watching it and wanted so badly to simply turn it off but I found I couldn't make myself do it! I knew it was terrible, in fact I knew it was one of the worst pieces of garbage I have had the misfortune to sit through, but I couldn't resist to see just how bad things could actually get. The acting was more wooden than the coffin poor Frank ends up in, the dialogue, check out the scene where the casino girl is questioned about fiddling the signatory….. – She even keeps asking for "lots of money to get far away" to anyone who questions her – has to be a classic bit of script writing there! I was really disappointed at the end of the movie as I truly expected Shaggy and Scoobie and the rest of the Ghost hunters to pop out with Fred and Thelma and Daphne to finally solve the mystery – however, James Brolin smiling like an White Haired Alzheimic cat put it all to rest – This review containers a spoiler – THE ENTIRE MOVIE HAS BEEN SPOILT!
What a load of unadulterated rubbish. Acting wooden and amateur. O'Neil desperately needs acting lessons. A far cry from when she was young I guess coke finally took it's toll. The storyline was pathetic, the directing inexcusable and the conclusion so obvious a blind man could have seen it coming.
Don't waste your time watching this poor excuse for a movie rather read a book or something or stare at a sunset it's far more rewarding. Life's too short to watch this inane garbage.
How do they get away with this? Tax write offs no doubt. I note some person actually wrote a glowing review of this movie. I guess there is no accounting for poor judgment & taste.
Tatum O'Neill has the main role in this quite predictable, but well made film about a woman dealing with the wrong people and their secrets. Tom Berenger is playing her husband, suffering from some health problems.
Hayden is a well grown woman marrying into the real estate family of the Emery's in Kansas City. She discovers that her husband's brothers, which are taking care of the family's real estate properties, are cooking the books, and are bribing city officials. She gets her husband to care about what's happening with Emery Propertys. Then the problem starts.
The film is more of a TV-drama when it comes to acting and production values. But it's OK done,the leads are doing a good acting job. Berenger is playing great as a drunk! James Brolin is great also a detective Sloan. Tatum is doing well, but this might be her weakest film ever.
The film has a good nerve, and is therefore exciting, though you obviously know what will happen, just not when. But the film doesn't keep the quality. The film doesn't manage to keep acting up to notch all the was through. So the film has a consistency problem throughout. After an hour there's a completely misplaced "love music video" which tips the film completely over, just like a commercial brake. Quite ridiculous. From there the film falters. It's almost like they changed director mid through.
There is no point making this a long winded review.
Not only is the plot so predictable that a blind person could follow it with the sound turned off.
The scripting is as lame as can be and the acting, well I haven't seen such animated acting since watching the Woodentops as a child.
It is unfortunate that you reviews have to be at least ten lines long, I mean, just how detailed do you have to be about something that is so not worth watching.
I struggle to understand how anyone could possible rate this better than awful, there is not one actor who is worth mention at all, not even Tom Berenger.
Please don't waste your time.
