Ihr Leben in seinen Händen

Not a bad film, professing to be edgy with NYC art galleries, oddities, rain and fog (wow, after living in NY 20 + years I never knew there was so much fog)- I think the DP confused NYC with London.That aside, and if you can suspend your disbelief enough- the film is watchable.

Jennie Garth is actually very good. She is attractive, but not in a helpless female victim sort of way. She is on her own in NYC, and somehow meets Costas Mandylor, a mysterious tenant in her apartment building.

You will see the usual set decoration, complete with goth crosses- punk nightclubs- and ominous news clippings. Mandylor is believable, and strange. Billy Dee Williams is a surprise cameo as yet another weary NY detective. One disappointment is Williams' partner; played by Currie Graham, who does not look or act like a homicide detective. (This was where I saw the formula from Se7en; he is detective Colton, a novice to Williams-hmmm like Somerset and Mills (Brad Pitt-Morgan Freeman-Se7en) The story is worth watching, though, if you have ever liked Jennie Garth. If she ever dyed her hair, she may get offered roles other than the beautiful blonde femme fatale (from 90210) If she was ever offered a decent, suspenseful film, I would love to see her in that type of role. It is unfortunate how actors are typecast.

At any rate, this movie is acceptable as a TV suspense film. If you have not already seen Se7en though, you MUST see it; and let me know if you see the same parallels! (Warning: Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt will have you hooked when you watch Se7en)

I watched this film because Costas Mandylor was in it and I am an avid fan of his. Costas' character starts off in glasses which clearly makes him uncomfortable and inhibits his acting. His character does not wear the glasses later in the film which seems to slightly improve his acting, however still does not match the quality of his later films. Of course, one would only expect an actor to improve over time. If you are a Costas Mandylor fan and you find him attractive, this film is enjoyable to watch on the basis of viewing Costas in lovemaking scenes and shirtless alone. There is one particular scene that I would love to take a video capture of where he is watching TV and he's only barely covered by a sheet in bed. Really smoking hot! The acting throughout the film was done decently by the entire cast. Nothing to rave about, but not bad either. The best acting in the film was probably done by Billy Dee Williams as the investigating Lieutenant. Another pleasant surprise though for me personally was an appearance by Peter Outerbridge who has also acted in another film starring Costas, Saw VI, where he plays the insurance company businessman. It was odd for me to see him with longer and lighter hair but he did a decent acting job in this film. I personally am not much of a Jenny Garth fan, I think she is an OK actress but rather overrated. The worst parts of this film were the horrible over-dramatic score, and the fact of missing details in the writing. There were some confusing things to me in the writing, one of which involves a painting and other things that just should have been explained or elaborated on more. That being said, it wasn't so horrible that it was unbearable to watch. I would probably watch this movie again if it's on TV sometime.

Jennie Garth from Beverly Hills,90210 Jennie Garth will always be "Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills,90210, she is such a typical stereotype bad actress,and i didn't know she was a Democrat,and into LBGTQ,yuck and she says she spirtual??
