Allies Alptraum

I am really glad that I recorded this movie. And that I did not have to waste money to go and see it in the theaters. It was a really bad movie. At first I thought it was a comedy. Then I realized that it was supposed to be a suspense movie. But, the acting was so bad. And the plot was terrible. It was ridiculous. And it just kept getting worse. I fast forwarded through a lot of it because it was so slow. And the ending was really weak. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I wasted enough time watching it, so hopefully you don't waste any of your time watching it. The acting was really pathetic. I guess if you have insomnia, it might help you with that.

This was a surprising good Lifetime Movie.

The actors/actresses all did an excellent job.

The pace was good.

The story was told in a clear, concise manner.

There were plenty of surprises, twists and turns in this suspenseful plot, which I thought worked well.

The actress playing the beautiful, blonde villain was very convincing as a manipulative psychopath with tunnel vision that focused completely on herself and what she wanted. She was also highly intelligent and as they encountered one problem after another she would always come up with a solution even when they're were in so deep there was no way out.

Sociopaths abound in this nasty little story from Wifetime. Allie, a vulnerable teenager who is trying to help her single mother make ends meet by waiting tables after school. She meets Justin who takes advantage of her by starting an affair with her. He doesn't tell her he is married. Meanwhile, his insane wife Sabrina finds out about it and, with the help of younger sister Paige, kidnaps Allie to "teach her a lesson" as a prank. The prank, of course, soon gets out of hand.

As a mystery or soap opera, the movie is a tremendous failure. As a black comedy, it has a terrific, Coen brothers feel.

The adults are all either monsters or idiots. Allie's mom finds her teenage daughter making out with a man twenty years her senior in a supply closet, and thinks she's handled it by talking to her for five minutes. She doesn't think about calling the police. Only at the urging of a teenage boy does it occur to her to involve law enforcement in looking for her daughter. Unfortunately, the policeman she asks is as much of an idiot as she is.

Justin, the man who caused the mess, has the morals of a snake. He is obviously married to his wife for money. He is ready to dump Allie as soon as he realizes there are consequences, and abandons her to his wife, knowing she will kill her.

Paige, Sabrina's sister, is manipulated by her at every turn. She wants to do the right thing (as she's Allie) but is constantly used by her.

The star sociopath here is Sabrina, played by Anna Camp. She is every mean sorority girl, every snide man stealer and every desperate housewife in one character. She is the perfect, shrill, self-centered monster to be married to a worm like. Justin. Neither are very smart, but both are ruthless predators.

The fun of the movie isn't being scared or anxious. It is hate watching awful people engaged in an increasingly unbelievable comedy of errors, and hoping someone shows up to rescue the innocent victims.

I enjoyed it in spite of myself.

If you have NOTHING ELSE and I mean REALLY nothing else to watch okay, but you will get pretty bored. Acting was so bad, they tried to underline every emotion with heavy breathing. There was so much heavy breathing it really bothered me! The ending totally cheesy, hard to handle.the story overall also boring. It was just boring.

Co-stars that appear in several scenes include the same roll of duct tape, the same butcher knife, and a pair of white nerd socks worn by Little Sister (the prop department must have been short of materials). Where is the product placement for the toothpaste that created those pearly whites for Sabrina? And would a cop who comes upon a kidnapping in progress turn his back on the other perpetrator? Not likely. Still, "Caught" is mildly entertaining. I give it a 6 out of 10.
