Un inconnu dans mon lit

Found movie to be riveting enough to follow through to conclusion. Topic is relevant & not surprising to see what a victim is forced to do to survive. Having attractive leading ladies doesn't hurt film either. Found supporting actors adequate for desired effect. Not having seen Sleeping with the Enemy, I found film worthy of a view.

Interesting. This movie wasn't quite like I hoped it'd be. It's worth watching once, but not a second time. The reason I say this is because it isn't one of those movies that keeps you guessing "whats going to happen next?" It's more like... "no kidding that was going to happen, i could have told you that" I like movies that have me guessing and wondering whats going to happen, and I didn't feel that with this movie. This movie skips around way too much from topic to topic. The ending isn't what I hoped. The worst thing possible in a movie is to have a horrible ending. That's what kind of ending this was. A good idea of a movie to watch on basically the same topic is a great movie with Julia Roberts called "Sleeping With the Enemy. It's an exciting movie that has you on the edge of your seat the entire time, unlike this movie.

This is not a good movie. Predictable and badly acted. The leading lady, Jamie Luner, is the main fault in this. I didn't like her in THE PERFECT Marriage and don't like her in his. The phony wig she wears in the beginning is a bad one where you can see her real hair sticking out the sides of it. When she goes into disguise and her real hair is seen, it's much too long for a woman of her age. It became annoying watching her with this mop of hair constantly falling all over the place. I suggest she look her age. Then there's Barbara Niven, another loser from PERFECT NEIGHBOR giving a boring performance. These women work all the time. Can't understand this. They're terrible actresses.

The men fare better in this. Both Chris Kramer as the brutal husband and Ivan Cermak as the new boy friend do better. Although Cervak looks much too young for our leading lady. More like mother and son.

All in all, this was bad stuff to watch. Sorry.

...that this film is an imitation of "Sleeping with the Enemy". But it's not that bad. I mean Jamie Lurner does a pretty good job as an abused spouse and the side effects that come with that. They kept the name Sarah but they could have changed it.

What I do appreciate is the timeline they set up in this version. They actually give her character a year, to be confirmed dead and give the audience the foundation to believe okay she's able to be in a relationship - she's able to be near the opposite sex again.

What's interesting is that Lifetime imitates their own imitation with "Past Obsessions (2011)" with Josie Davis. They should have just done the deed once. I'm a fan of Josie but Jamie's (this) version is better.

However, neither beat the original "Sleeping with the Enemy".

The story started out well and I wanted to like this movie, however, the ending just gets too far-fetched and a bit cheesy for me.
