Sleeping with Danger

Elisabeth Rohm stars as Grace, an stewardess who meets Paul, an alternative therapy doctor, who woos and wants to marry her. I think they may have her character's name later for whatever reason. But the trouble is with Paul who is a violent, controlling psycho who mentally and physically abuses Grace and keeps her isolated. Will Grace ever escape. You will have to tune in to find out! Highly recommend this movie!

This movie was very unpleasant - the antagonist was a mentally unstable man that somehow was able to seduce women with his charm and then terrorize them.

My views:

1. How old was Paul? His "daughter" looked like his sister!!!!

2. Why was Grace so forgiving? This guy was was a nut!!!

3. He confesses that he had a bi-polar disorder -- so was he not seeing a shrink?

4. The ending was unpleasant, but satisfying non the less.

Please watch to the conclusion, then have a couple of drinks!

OMG, this movie brought back a lot issues even for me.

Okay, I straight up have to admit that I have recently become addicted to these Lifetime "inspired by true events" movies. They have this melodramatic formula, but it works in terms of making you care what the outcome will be. In this case, I like Elizabeth Rohm, and her character seems like one who would never put up with abuse, thus showing that it can happen to anyone, even those who think they would never tolerate abuse. It shows how easy it is to rationalize staying in such a relationship. For that reason, I find this film's message to be valuable, and the performances believable. I actually think it would be valuable to allow women in abusive relationships watch this and discuss it in a group therapy situation.

Grace Tanner (Elisabeth Röhm) falls for her alternative medicine doctor Paul Carter (Antonio Cupo). It develops into a full romance, but underlying issues balloon into a run for her life.

This is a Lifetime movie. At least, they bought the distribution. It's their standard woman-in-danger plot. It's all very standard and very second-rate. I like Röhm over the years but she does come off a little cool. The biggest issue is the male lead. I don't know much about him. He seems to be a veteran TV actor. I probably seen him before, but I wouldn't know. In addition, the character is too bland. I get the idea of transformation from nice guy to possessive creep. They just really need a good meet-cute. It can't be as boring this one. I don't care that this copies every other one of these movies. I just want it to be good.
