Lying Eyes

For a TV movie, "Lying Eyes" had everything you can ask for. Cassidy Rae was wonderful to look at, as was Vincent Irizary. The story of a older attorny and highschool girl who have a affair which leads to the young girl being stalked by the older mans "wife". The ending is wonderful and suprising. Sure I've seen better acting, and better writing, but it was a wonderful plot and a good use of two hours. I'd definately recommend it again. The suspense was wonderful. "Lying Eyes" is one for the books.

This film held my interest from beginning to end and it kept me spellbound as to just how the ending would turn out and I was quite surprised at the out come. Cassidy Roe, (Amy Miller),"Evolver",'95, was very beautiful and sexy as a young senior in high school who lived with her mom, who sold homes non-stop and did not really pay much attention to her daughter. Her mom trusted her completely, however, Amy ran into a very charming man who was captivated by her wonderful body and youth. This guy was Vincent Irizarry,(Derek Bradshaw),"Marie",'85, who did everything in the world for Amy and made every day Christmas Time. There is plenty of romance and lots of gals chatting among each other in an effort to solve each others problems. If you want to view a very interesting film, try to catch this film on TV.

The movie does a good job of keeping you interested till the end. The thrill factor is the best aspect of the movie. The story can benefit from more work. It has many holes and you can only completely make sense of it by saying it is a movie after all. For example, the villain seems to have the gift to be able to be every where just at the right time. The characters seemed too rushed on the romance part. There are many clichés too. Still, I find it very easy to watch and entertaining. The actors do a very good job and the filming is good too. Although it is not an Oscar winner, I recommend it. As it is does a good job of keeping you interested and trying to figure out who the villain is. It deserves a chance.

(1996) Lying Eyes DRAMA THRILLER

The intro is like this, an older guy watching from the bleachers inside of a gymnasium a basketball game sees a cheerleader he likes, and upon her driving home, he purposely rear ends her from behind, for the purpose of meeting her. We find out that he is the 33 year old, Derek Bradshaw (Vincent Irizarry) who works in a law firm and she is 18 year old high schooler, Amy Miller (Cassidy Rae) who lives with her realtor estate, single mom, Ruth (Sherry Hursey). Derek tells her, if she wants her car fixed, to take it to his personal mechanic, and he gives her his card. On the following day, when Amy comes to grab her car, they didn't just fixed her rear end but they gave her the full treatment, with Derek coincidentally over there to greet her as well. Derek offers her dinner and when she accepts, he invites for her to come to his beach house. She comes and it appears someone is watching her through the window as Amy is making out with Derek. And it was at this point, Amy's continued relationship with Derek is affecting her studies, her cheerleading and her friends. During at one point, her best friend, just as they are getting ready to go cheerleading, Dana (Ashlee Levitch) grabs her wrist, accidentally breaks the tennis bracelet Derek had bought for her (one of many gifts), and goes to the jewelry store to get it fixed is when she finds out he an already married man with two young boys. When Amy tries to confront him about it, by visiting him in his law firm, Derek convinces her that he is planning to leave his wife over her. Except that by the time Amy bumps into Derek's wife by accident, and invites her to have dinner with them, we find out her name is Elizabeth (Jamie Rose) and that the reason Derek is able to work in law is the result of him working for her dad's law firm. Amy realizes, he had no intention of leaving her wife at all, and that she is nothing more but a mistress, so she cuts him out of her life in it's entirety. Except that, Derek can't take no for an answer, and he begins to stalking her as well. Besides receiving threatening letters, someone's also locked her in the sauna, trashed her locker, with Derek visits her best friend as well as become one of Amy's mother's clients. And if Amy does not want her mom to know about this, then she can't go to the police.

Both of Derek and his wife Elizabeth stalk her for different reasons, for it is obvious by now, Derek may have told his wife 'one' story, Elizabeth that Amy is obsessed with him. At the same time Derek tells Amy a different story that he is divorcing his wife, and that Elizabeth is able to accept that. All of this is the result of Amy not say anything to anybody about what Derek looks like, including her mom. Leaving with her a nightmarish kind of scenario that requires professional counseling and direction, for she needs to tell someone for it's just a matter of when.

I liked the first hour as some teenage girls do not want anyone to know about their rendezvous as it looked like a routine stalking movie. But as soon as it involves a third party is when it suddenly gears toward ridiculousness, that asks more questions than the movie is willing to answer.

I have rarely seen a movie so poorly written with cliched plot lines, illogical interactions, and ridiculous outcomes. Why did I watch, like others have said, Cassidy Rae was outstanding and she got better looking as the movie went on. The mothers weren't too bad either nor was the final villain. How often do you get a chance to watch some really good looking women, and one beauty I'd never heard of, without having to take the story seriously or even follow it? Tell me again why the athletic team bus stops at a truck stop with a maze of tractor trailers? Tell me again why the police fill her in on the progress of the investigation by calling her on a pay phone in the locker room? How many high school locker rooms have a sauna for cheerleaders to get locked into? How many times in a row can a girl who is in fear of her life go out of her way to get into situations where she is all alone? But she looked GREAT doing it!
