Eric Roberts is great in this Lifetime-like thriller. These films are a guilty pleasure during quarantine 2020. I caught it on Prime and it was fast paced and sailed by to its thrilling conclusion. An easy and fun watch with a good amount of suspense.

There is reality here, everything as happens in real life, although maybe a bit extreme case. Falling in love, perversions, excesses, secrets, jealousy, comedy, jokes, disappointment, marriage, crime, life, death, prison, hospital, police, music. Almost everything. It teaches us to beware of criminal but of girls also. Love can be dangerous. Worth watching, and I heard there are two more parts of this movie, one released just recently, in 2018, the other even before this reviewed one. And best of all most stuff is funny, embarrassing, and even smallest details are shown.

The sad thing here is that this doctor does make house calls.

Eric Roberts has mastered this part of the emotionally disturbed cardiologist and he is at it again saving lives and becoming too involved with his "patients," or should I say victims. In this one, he saves the life of a young girl in Mexico and feels that in order to win her over, he will romance and even marry her emotionally scarred mother who never emotionally recovered from the accidental death of her husband year's back.

Roberts can be charming, but so delusional when his mind reverts to scenes where he is torturing or killing anyone in his way only for him to come back to reality.

He stops at nothing to achieve his goals including the romancing and even marriage to the mother, altering a blood test so as to cause friction between the girl and the boy she is dating, murder of his brother-in-law to be. The film is also a good one as it shows how those who were skeptical of him at first are literally lured into his orbit with all sorts of mayhem resulting.

What about saving the life of the prison guard at the end who is choking? Will that grant him certain liberties? A sequel to this is well in order.
