I'll Be Seeing You

A woman is called to identify the body of a woman who looks like her killed along the roadside. The other side of the film involves her fathers recent death in a bridge collapse. With two equally creepy bad guys wanting things from our heroine, this was decent evening movie fare.

Whoever wrote this garbage should be burned alive ... wondering why it was necessary to crap up the script with the psycho creep stalker and killer .. it should have been another story ... perhaps the rest of the story would have flowed better ... the fact that it was mostly filmed in nowhere canada made it less believable as well ... i give it credit for not having some architect in the script for these made for tv movies ... i started groaning about halfway through because it was dragging ... where was the rcmp ?

I've read several of Mary Higgins Clark's books and seen several movies. Of the two movies on TV the same week, I liked "Pretend You Don't See Her" as the better of the two movies. Nevertheless I liked this one. I am not so particular about the technical details and supposed flaws in movies as others are because if the plot is decent and the story flow moves, I can adjust to small annoyances. I feel like there was a plot and a sub plot in which danger came from two directions. I thought the acting was okay and was glad to see Margot Kidder in the movie. It is good that in spite of her problems she is still able to act. Some may not have thought that two half sisters could look like twins but I and one of my first cousins seemed to be almost identical so much that when he died, many relatives did a double take. So to me for half sisters to be identical was realistic. If the comments between the young potential lovers seemed strange, it is in real life. There were a few twists and turns and I was a little surprised at the ending but it turned out okay. This review was of the PAX presentation on cable January 31, 2005.

One would think that an actress with the last name Eastwood could muster up a half-decent performance.

Ms. Eastwood single-handedly ruined what could have been a breezy Saturday past time. I am a major fan of Mary Higgins Clark's books. However, I have come to terms with the fact that if you've seen one of her books-turned-movies you know what to expect: a cartoonish villain, a limp-acting leading lady, and a bunch of peripheral characters you won't care what happens to one way or another. Still this was dragged to the gutter by possibly the worst acting I've seen on this side of the Twilight saga.

This rating would be so much higher had the Alison Eastwood expressed any emotion or even enthusiasm for the part throughout the movie. She is just flat. Very cold and unbelievable. Makes it hard to stay interested when the woman playing the main character is so disinterested. Wrecks the entire movie after finding this as a fun book to read.
