I'll Be Watching

I've watched over 75 LMN movies and this is my #1. It was a thriller, had a love story, great plot, and a happy ending! Great job!

This movie was pretty bad. So unrealistic with the cops and some of the shots were atrocious. The acting was fine but overall definitely B-C grade.

I just loved the whole movie everything was so good

So here's the thing: Lifetime movies are terrible. And fun. I leave them on during my work-from-home workday as entertainment in the background, because they require low emotional and intellectual investment. They always feature a lead woman, with a support cast. Bad things happen to the woman, but she takes control of the situation and in the end, always prevails without the help of any of her supporting cast.

One thing Lifetime movies never have: Sexual violence. Despite having stalkers and murderers in every movie, the movies just don't go there. And I appreciate that. These are silly romps that are intended to pump you up, and sexual violence would take away from that. And honestly, sexual violence is often the easy, expected thing to include in this kind of script. Ninety-nine percent of tv and movies, when they want to create a dramatic plot involving a woman, just resort to sexual violence against her.

This one has sexual violence and sexual trauma to the lead character. I hate it. It's one of the few Lifetime movies that goes there. Just putting it out there, because people don't often recognize how cool and noteworthy it is that Lifetime typically avoids it.

This movie started out seeming to be pretty low-end, but near the middle things began to pick up speed and the suspense and drama built. Add in the romance and it's an all-around Lifetime staple.
