I wish big budget movies would be made like that. A lot of talking, but not overtalked. Psychological thriller. Filmmakers think we need action, due to our brains being spoiled by social media, but tha'ts not true, cinema is lacking psychological thrillers, especially those based on true stories. There's plenty of stupid fake stories, while life brings unbelievable scenarios. Anyway, to the movie. I don't think those law grades are fair, the actors are great, the directing is not cringy, this is a really good movie. Also, when you raise the reliability problem, you need to try to undersand the vulnerabillity of a person that is so hunry for love that they stop seeing things rationally. It si a good movie and. Nicolle Tom is fantastic, so is Adam Mayfield.

First of all,the acting was just abysmal. The actor who played Casey immediately gave sociopathic vibes and his flirting was just too obvious and silly. And Vicky's facial expressions looked like they belonged on a Mama's Family episode. The story never developed the characters. It was like it was produced by the Hallmark channel.

We needed more of Vicky's back story that would make her susceptible to this kind of manipulation and criminal activity. The actor who played Casey just fell flat and he just didn't nail sociopath possibly because the direction was substandard. I just could not get invested in any of the characters.

After about 30 seconds, I realized this was a true story and that I had actually watched footage on the news when the escape happened.

Nicholle Tom of "The Nanny" fame plays a prison administrator who falls in love with a prisoner (Adam Mayfield) and helps him escape in "Prisoner of Love" - guess what, a Lifetime tv movie.

If you know the story, it's a sad one of a lonely, unfulfilled woman, Vicky, who wants some happiness. The prisoner starts flirting with her right away. They do plan an escape, but it takes two years to carry it out.

We know what happens. But I have to believe that for Vicky (Tom) those few days of living out her fantasy was worth it.

First, Florence, AL is in the middle of the city not the woods. They drove through the city to the Academy Sports parking lot.... Still city. The fact they added the tanning bed to the whole thing just for giggles... Well that was hilarious. You'd have to hear the former employee's interview about her to understand the joke. She was not a victim and they make Casey too smart and too attractive for that role. He is more of an oversized Elmer Fudd fellow. Word for word, the whole movie was EXACTLY what the news reports all told. Basically, they compiled the reports for the script. And lastly, the sheriff of Lauderdale County is an old white Boss Hogg looking man....and yet here we have replaced him with not an old white Boss Hogg looking man... Many, many inaccuracies. It makes my home area look like a train wreck.

I kept up with this case from the beginning as I don't live far from Florence, Alabama. I feel like the movie does not portray what actually happened. There was a 911 call that provided information as to the states of mind of Vicky and Casey. This was not in the movie. The film took some liberties with the hotel scenes. No one knows what happened except Casey and he's not talking about the private moments they shared.

The real jail is in the middle of the city - not out in the boonies. The acting is subpar. I feel like this is a story that would make a great movie, but this is not that movie.

My expectations weren't high to begin with but I was definitely not prepared for how cringe the movie is. I can't tell if its the script or what but the movie was uncomfortable to sit through. Nicholle Tom's acting was so awful here, I know she is a decent actress but something was off. The actor playing Casey White was somewhat redeeming, he was handsome so there's that. Alot of Vicky's true life backstory was left out of the film that I wish they had included because it gives more insight into how far she fell and more explainations as to why. The overall situation was sad and to an extent I feel bad for Vicky White. This movie had potential and I truly believe it was wasted here.

You can tell this movie was made in a rush. Some director wanted to be the first to make a movie about this story and it shows big time here. The acting is absolutely atrocious as I've seen better acting in adult films. Nothing about this movie was even close to the true story and this should of never hit the screens. One day someone will get this story right but as I said this producer was in a huge hurry to get this out. Perhaps they should of told more of Vicky's story ahead of her falling in love with a criminal. Oh another thing, the actors picked for this movie are no where close to representation of the actual real life persons. Especially Casey White. Overall my rating is this.... Horrible, Horrible, Horrible!!!

This movie is so bad I don't even know where to start at. Now, in all fairness the actors were pretty good it was the writing and directing that was just horrible. The story was so boring and blah. Save your time and don't watch this. I promise you'll regret it. This story had so much more to tell and they dropped the ball. The writing was so FLAT THE STORY WAS FLAT. This is based on a true story and it felt like the worst story ever told. Nicholle Tom, was really good and so was Adam Mayfield. This is possibly the worst Lifetime movie ever made. Now I know to stay away from anything directed or written by this cast.

I would have enjoyed this more if the actor could've been more inclusive and diversified. It's a shame that in 2022 we can't have more movies like the little mermaid. I just feel like Vicky could've been played by a stronger woman like Rachel Levine. Further more Casey white should've been portrayed by a much stronger actor such as Chris Rock, it would've add a much more fluid comedic relief to the plot. Honestly the plot was a little dry for me personally, there weren't enough explosions to satisfy my need for action, could we have a redo with Michael Bay as director, there are plenty of action packed moments in his films.

First, let me say I adore Nicholle Tom and have for years. I thought she did a great accent in this. The acting, though? Well, that's another story. Adam Mayfield is wayyyy too good-looking to play Casey White. He acted totally goofy, which may be the way Casey acted. I didn't sense any good chemistry between the two. The whole tone of the movie,to me, was downright silly and comical. It was SO goofy, in fact, I think it may have been on purpose, poking fun at the real-life pair because they did something so stupid. The sneaky flirting was like 6th grade level stuff, smiling, giggling, just childish. I did give the movie 3 stars because they really nailed Vicky's "tan" and her complexion, AND because some of the other actors were actually good.
