"Look Again" was a stylish and intricately constructed thriller set in Chicago. Allison Brown is embarking on a career as a realtor when her world collapses around her. In a brutal act of violence, she is attacked in the home of her boyfriend, Zach Hardy. Instead of watching his back, Zach tackles the assailant and is stabbed to death.

While Detective Jennifer Marshall provides some moral support to Allison, she and the police are slow in connecting all the dots. The film unfolds a killer-on-the-loose scenario with Allison discovering the identity of her tormentor virtually on her own.

There was an interesting group of characters clustered around Allison, including the mercurial financier Stafford Keach and his protégé, Mike Caldon. Mike has started a relationship with Nancy, who is Allison's bestie. At one of the key junctures of the film, Nancy betrays the trust of Allison and lies to the police in order to give Mike an alibi. Another strange character is Rick Palmer, a struggling artist with connections to both Stafford and Mike. Rick also had a past association with Allison's lover, Zach. Allison's boss, Myra Banning, is linked to Stafford in an amorous way. When it becomes clear that Myra knows too much, she will take a fatal tumble down the stairs and make an exit from the screenplay.

There was a terrific performance by Morena Baccarin in the role of the beleaguered Allison. The screenplay offered good dramatic tension and a strong build to the major revelation at the end. As convoluted as the plot was, the film was still eminently watchable. The only point where credibility was truly stretched was in the love connection of Allison and the artist Rick. Would she really give him a second chance after he lied and had a major meltdown reminiscent of his "dark days" after his wife Patricia allegedly threw herself out a window?

Rick's conduct was so unpredictable that Allison would be wise to "look again" when it comes to renewing her acquaintance with Mr. Rick Palmer.

Allison Brown is a property selling agent who has had a traumatic experience. She's been the victim of a dangerous intruder who she fears is still on the loose to stalk her. She uncovers a conviction that has been kept secret concerning her friend's intended marriage partner. As the story unfolds two other men prove to have dubious past lives as well. Suspicion wavers between these three men as to who is the stalker. This is a reasonable stalking thriller with an atmosphere of suspense and nice photography. Morena Baccanin is so watchable as Allison. She has lovely and pleasant features and sports an attractive 1960s urchin style haircut in this. You may find this under an alternative title of 'Psycho Neighbor.' Lifetime Movies have a habit of giving two or three different titles to their films that requires a bit of detective work to find them on IMDb. Their messed up cast list at the end doesn't help either.

9/14/20 I recommend this film. Has a surprise twist at the end. I'm here to find ANYONE who knows where I can get the song used in the middle at a key turning point in the main character's recovery from tradgedy & during the closing credits: "Behind My Guarded Walls," written by Norman Racicot, sung by Claude Castonguay. This song "ccoulda/should" been a Top 40 hit. (No, it's not even listed on Tunefind!)
