Circle of Friends

This is one of the 'studentlike' movies where the actors, storyline, dialogue especially is created by amateurs learning to craft their profession. When you don't want to think much and can work at the same time.

Usual vapid made-for-tv tosh which relies on the premise that lead actress Julie Benz is absolutely irresistible (she isn't) and all the male characters flirt desperately with her.

She returns to her home town where some of her former friends are being bumped off and her 'first love' is still pining for her (Benz's dead husband gave her permission to reunite with her first love if he croaked it - which of course he did - how noble).

Featuring the stupidest policeman ever written (he also tried and failed to get into Julie's knickers back in the day and very professionally brings it up at the police station) and a bunch of dumb airheads who, apart from Benz and her first love, don't think anything strange that people are dropping like flies.

I find it amazing that anybody can cobble this stuff together for a few million but I guess you don't need much in the way of talent these days.

I am a Julie Benz fan so enjoyed this mystery on Prime,it was well acted and a fun watch,do not expect too much from these kind of Hallmark mystery movies but they do deliver if you want a easy on the eye ( Julie in this case) enjiyable 90 minutes or so. A generous 8 from me,not for everybody ( what is?) But the time went by fast and i think there was good chemistry between Julie's character and Harry.

Caught this on. Amazon prime. Hadn't heard of this exact movie before.

Had the feel of a Hallmark Suspense movie. No major surprises and easily figured out before the movie wraps up.

It's okay for something you don't have to pay exact moment by moment detail.

I'm surprised no one has reviewed this title. I caught this on Prime and decided to take a gamble on a film that had no reviews. This is a pretty decent thriller in which Julie Benz is trying to solve the mystery of who's been "offing" her old high school friends. This is one of those "something bad happened in the past and now someone's out for revenge years later" flicks. Don't expect a big budget release but for a Lifetime movie, it's pretty great with likeable characters and a good mystery. No gore at all but there is a large body count. Good for a rainy Sunday or a quarantine night. Don't expect A-list here, but the time went by quickly and the film was a fun watch.
