An Organized Killer

Another quality movie released under Marvista Entertainment for Lifetime Movie Network. Another cautionary story about entrusting life to a complete stranger. Often you need to trust strangers but setting boundaries is a must in certain situation and that's where life-threatening error happened in this real-life-like well-paced TV thriller. In this movie the divorced woman as described in the plot summary entrusted life and business management naively to good-looking people and in my opinion recklessly too since her responsibilities towards her family without any proper background checks. I would go even further and called being naïve or reckless a criminal negligence because of what it caused. Movie is relatively enjoyable but expect lots of other reviewers considering it another spin (if not a cliché) on many disastrous roommate tales.

I was surprised to see this rank a 6.9 (as of 3/17/21) which is well above the mid 5's that most LMN movies will get. I think this is better than most LMN movies but not that much better. The plot is about as formulaic as most LMN movies are.

I will admit I'm quite smitten with Allison McAtee. I thought her bubbly performance here was very good, much better than in Deadly Mile High Club. Hope to see more of her in the future. She fits the rich, attractive, middle-age woman role so often needed in LMN movies.

Was not thrilled with Samantha Cope's performance. I know she played the annoying villain here but I was still annoyed by her in general.

Movie is bad is one thing but the acting pls be professional. The killer just makes me feel lots of actress indeed not bad, after I watch her act in this movie.

This is just your typical very low budget LMN cookie-cutter plot, that was presented to Marvista as a high school project where everything is just a cliche. You have the so naive family that they give the most trust to absolute strangers instead of a close friend or friends, You have the close friends or relatives that conveniently get killed or severely injured when they come close to the obvious truth, that the unsuspecting family can't see unless there is 8 minutes left in the movie. And there is the usual confrontation that ends with the criminals timely talking too much and the unsuspecting family or person foils their plans, yet the criminals get away easily even though they are shot or bludgeoned shown getting into the good graces of their next oblivious family or single mom.

The plot was pretty good. Alex was a total tool. Grace was more gullible than anyone in real life could be. Actress playing Lilith played the sinister role very well. We would like to see more of Triana Browne.
