I would have given this about a six if not for the idiotic ending. The storyline was different, the movie itself good, not great, but the ending ruined anything good it had going for it.

Like watching criminal minds, but one of the boring episodes, that weirdly left you wanting... more of an ending. The Stockholm syndrome and cops past stories could have been more defined and brought together a little more smoothly.................... I don't have anything else to say so here are a bunch of . To make up the right amount for a review ...........................................

The worst-written episode of Criminal Minds, dragged on for 92 minutes.
There are movies that are produced worse, so I didn't score it 1 star, but it legitimately deserves -15 stars for writing. The writing is SO stupid it becomes insulting. I kept watching because I had chores to do around the house, and I didn't want to be too interested by what was going on on screen. It turns out that this movie, dialogue, story plot points and acting were so bad, it made me angry enough to get going on my errands. That's why this didn't get turned off in the first few minutes of dialogue, the next few plot points, the continuing dialogue, every insufferable monologue and that godawful piano scene.
There was no way to make that piano scene stupider and more unrealistic. The piano scene made me want to punch the movie quiet.
The acting wasn't great, but PALES in comparison to how terrible the writing was to begin with. Every spoken word made me want to track down the person(s) who wrote the script and just scream "NO" into their faces(s) for a few minutes.
That said, there are worse movies out there. So if you have chores to do around the house, and you want to support low-budget movies; have at it and turn it on for a bit.

Adam Dorsey as the Detective is the only saving grace of this movie unfortunately the rest of the cast look like they have just come out of acting school. The interaction between the two captive women is laughable and as for the ending, well watch and see.

2 women cannot fight for a 50s old professor and lock up in a house and walk freely but cannot escape ? It was the stupidest thing I ever seen. Rename the movie to stupid women more appropriate.

I was not sure what to expect from "Women" based on the other reviews. I think it was great, in a Dragon Tattoo sort of way. Yes, the bad guy is identified early - so what? Like Columbo, this isn't a whodunit, but a how-catch-em.
Very brooding throughout, very dark and intricate. Tightly edited, almost perfunctory. Although unlikely to break the box office in Murica, this will play perfectly in Iceland!

Very like 'Kept Women' movie. Completely the same really. But I watched it all. Cheesy but ok drama.

The movie opens with a woman running away... and then being found in a trunk, murdered and raped in bizarre, brutal fashion. The police arrive on the scene to investigate the murder. The officer uses a common English word incorrectly, which I thought was strange and hoped it wasn't a sign of what was to come. OK... so the net result is they know very little about the victim, so our protagonist goes to investigate with those who knew her.
With the bare minimum of clues, our protagonist police officer just magically knows that the killer is certainly local, white (because these types of things don't cross the color barrier, he says), and personal because of the nature of the crime. Even Hannibal Lechter wouldn't have deduced this and it's clear we've got a McGuffin in place for a local killer.
And then, barely 15 minutes in, we are introduced to someone evil who teaches at a school. The dead girls were students. Everything about him is... stilted... it is... strange... His speech patterns... what he says. But of course, nobody suspects anything. And in one moment I realized how dumb this film was going to be. Without ruining anything, since it is the first 15 minutes, the script totally unravels as a brainless, manufactured story that would never happen because it doesn't make sense. An absurd set up in a store that is straight out of a teen boy film leads to a scene which is completely manufactured for drama for the audience. Why would anyone who is invited into a home leave it momentarily, only to make up a story to get back inside a moment later and then force their way in????
At that point I realized this was another stinker with a terrible script, terrible acting and then leapt off the rails into complete absurdity. If I was in a terrible situation, such as watching this film, I could solve that problem easily by walking out of the film and not looking back. And just 1/3 of the way through, you'll easily understand what that means and why you're better off seeing this on VOD so you can just skip to the end if you really don't know how things are going to end up.

Wow. What a let down. I really enjoyed it until the end. They just abruptly ended it in one minute with no nothing left to even ponder. It was weird. Heck they could have even had the same ending and looped in one final scene with the girl and what happened to her. It's truly like they just gave up or ran out of money. I could have shot the ending with an iPhone and sent it to you guys. Cmon lol. Could have been a lot better but really that ended just ruined it. Didn't make much sense at all so whatever they were going for..... it was a big swing and miss. All plot no ending. Better luck next time!

Again, I say, it's weak writing when, in reality, millions of girls and WOMEN around the world, every year, are either abducted and/or bound against their will and brutally "mistreated," to give you the Rated-G version.
This subject matter is NOT entertaining. It's not thrilling, nor should it be sold under the category of THRILLER.
Write smarter. Produce something that doesn't gag WOMEN! Direct a movie that doesn't reek of misogyny or patriarchy.
I challenge you.

Think lifetime movie gone bad. That is what this is. The movie made me mad because it portrays the typical sex offender. A successful person, often unassuming, yet well known. It took me back to my days as a parole officer overseeing sex offenders. Just find the person already!! I literally wanted to jump through the screen.
Women is a movie about a small time detective out to solve a case. It's a psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what happens next. You literally have no idea of what will happen next. The cast is pretty good. Acting is above average.

This has been done before a few times and they were all better. This film is supposed to be about psycho professor who is SOOOOO terrifying that the college students he abducts don't even try to escape after 3 days of silent torture, despite no real abuse or trama inflicted on them. I mean they do suggest torture but I'm conditioned to seeing more brutality so its takes real skill with timing music etc to scare us with no violence. Just long periods of hearing drones and loud alarms while a girl is tied to a chair I guess just didn't cut it. Occassional opera over dialogue also made it even sloggier. (if thats a word)
Maybe people who watch less horror will enjoy this at the level of a police procedural on TV. There IS the good detective doing the usual profiling of victims and the UNSUB and it was so boring even from THAT point I felt like I'd rather sleep. It was 6pm so not bedtime.
I just didnt find the villian scary or threatening and the women never seemed in so much jeopardy and that 1 or 2 could just smash him over head with ANYTHING. Its would be like if Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs is kidnapping college girls, for companionship+ but he didn't have a dog, or a dungeon pit, or a sexual identity crisis, or a bizarre hobby making original meat dresses out or real human skin. Nope just a man who looks like the guy who buys a scratch & win ticket while he's paying for gas. Not menacing in ANY way. There's a detective who asks the one question that every killer dreads to be discovered from: Are you married? Wow. The detective is as badly drawn a character as the women who are an insult to our intelligence and the ending is the cherry of this mud cake of a film. Made no sense at all. I feel like this whole movie was a tax write off but they hired real actors and its too bad but they had nothing to work with. Honestly skip it. Your time has value.

The characters make stupid choices, the story follows pov's from the kidnapped girls, the professor, and the cop on the case. The movie is excruciatingly slow, and leads to no payoff at the end. Acting feels a bit stiff, especially with the girls and some scenes move so slow with so many pauses.
It's only about an hour and a half long but I kept checking how much time was left until it was over because honestly it felt like 3. I rewatched the movie recently, attempting to give it a second chance but it was just as bad as my first watch, even feeling just as long which felt impossible. The characters in this movie are so dumb, it's not even a whole police unit investigating the disappearances of these girls, it's just one guy.
I do not recommend watching unless you want to be bored to sleep.

So I'm an Anna Marie Dobbins fan, therefore I had to watch this. It's a very good thriller with similar story line as made in UK Crawl to Me Darling (2020) and LMN movie Kept Woman (2015). I have to say I enjoyed all three. Despite similarities all three movies were distinguishable from each other. And Kept Woman I thought was a great thriller for a TV movie!

I really wanted to like this. The acting was stiff and forced. The plot was interesting but the direction caused unbearable boredom.
The situations were unbelievable and defied logic.
I found this slow, preposterous, uninteresting, Dull, and annoying.
