Jordan Ladd Gave A Great Performance!

This was a very entertaining film to view and it was mainly because of the great actors namely: Jordan Ladd(Janet Flanders),"Dog Gone Love",'03, who was madly in love and was extremely hot for Vincent Spano(Brett Becker),"Silence",'02, who managed to push Janets sexual buttons and started a very unusual romance with all kinds of hot scenes and even a sweet and lovely picnic in a nice cabin or lodge in the woods. Jordan had some secrets that he kept from Janet and once those secrets were told, all hell broke loose and turned this love and romance story into something you will not be able to believe. Just sit back, relax and enjoy this great picture.

Worse film ever!

I couldn't believe this terrible movie was actually made at all. With the worst actors you could find, the worst script written (Mark Frost & Sollace Mitchell) and by far the worst waste of time in viewing. I won't belabor the story as it's really not worth it. But I will elaborate on some of the performances and definitely the story. As to the story, it is very hard to believe that this bitty crazy schemer could actually do what she did. That in reality the wife couldn't defend herself against a little bitty of a thing. That the husband could actually find the nut case attractive at all. That the defense attorney could break every court rule there was and keep on doing it after the judge ordered the blankety blank to shut up. And the final result of the film is an insult to justice, movie codes, and the male species. The theme of this mess is let women do as they wish, kill whom they want, defend the killer and get away with it, while the guy rots in jail the innocent victim. Hard to believe that Sollace Mitchell, the director and a man, would even want to make this dribble.

As to the acting: Jordan Ladd, the killer, is awful. A loony toons, who does needlepoint during her murder trial (is this allowed in court?) She bored me to the hilt. One more look of her batting her eyes and indicating how innocent she was and I'd throw up. She's not even attractive enough for any guy to leave his wife. The husband, played on one level by Vincent Spano, just seems to look and act stupid most of the time. He was so predictable in his performance falling into the traps set for him by all the women surrounding him. The worst by far was Holland Taylor as the Defense Attourney. She over acted throughout the film and made a mockery of justice. If she would cross examine me anytime, I'd have told her to go take a hike. Everybody else in this sleazy film did their job as directed to do so.

I wish I could give this film a zero rating. However we are forced to start with 1. Too bad. Let's not have anymore painful watching films like this. Lifetime can do better then this, I know it.

This is a postscript: Made the mistake of turning this insipid movie on by mistake. As soon as I saw the bimbo Jordan Ladd I knew I'd seen it before and didn't like it or her. I not only turned the darn thing off but had to add my anger at people like Sollace Mitchell who wrote the screenplay but also directed this horrible flick. Doesen't anyone see that her/his message is that sickness pays. Being ill and going around killing people is okay with this director/writer. Totally making the male species idiots. Well, this male tells you to go stuff it somewhere painful. We're not all that stupid and will speak out to your so called movie, which in this person's mind deserves to be trashed.

And again this loser is shown. Why???? Can't you read the comments on this stupid and despicable movie? Are we constantly subjected to see the bimbo Jordan Ladd again and again? Get her off TV, films and out of sight. She's just terrible in every sense of the word. Phew!!!!

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"

I am not sure this will be a spoiler, but I'll take no chances. Though I won't give the ending away, what I'll say about the movie might indirectly allude to it.

Lots of people dislike this movie - judging from the comments here. I saw it with an innocent eye. That is, I had no idea how others have reacted to it. Now that I have seen lots of very negative reviews, let me say this: Most of the negative reviews I have seen seem to miss the main point of the story, which is that "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." This proverbial truism comes from a play by William Congreve, "The Mourning Bride" (1697),where we read this: "Heaven has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turned, / Nor Hell a Fury, like woman scorned." Janet (Jordan Ladd) adds another dimension to the story. She is a kind of Female Quixote. She has read too many romances. And her fantasies take over completely. Would things have turned out in a different way had her lover married her? She seems to take the rejection in stride. Or does she? I'll let my comments about the story end there. I will only add this, Jordan Ladd does a fantastic job with with this role. She is worthy of both her mother, Cheryl Ladd, and her grandfather, Alan Ladd.

I guess I am in the minority for liking this movie. But I think I have good reason for this: an interesting theme goes a long way with me.
