Confiance fatale

This is a good movie. I was surprised, because I was expecting an average , ' made for TV ' type drama, but this was better .

A well written , directed , and acted film. , not overly done or contrived. I was convinced by the actors , very genuine performances.

A very interesting story with true underlying factors added to this engaging film. We all put our trust in doctors , sometimes a bit too much . And it is not unusual to hear of these shocking stories frome time to time.

I do recommend this movie.

Evil is what is up - no pun intended. Of course the movie at hand is not hard to decipher. You will have no trouble at all to see where it is going. So if you are a fan of mysteries in your thrillers ... well this ain't the movie to watch for you. If you have soft spot for movies of the week on the other hand ... well you can guess yourself (you know I love me some puns).

All that being said, it is nice to see Amy Jo Johnson in something again. I had seen her in that canadian cop show - but obviously she has done much more things. Suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow - otherwise you won't have any fun at all with this (no pun intended)

This is an OK way to spend a little time, but the conclusion really didn't work.

The lead, Kate, is played by Amy Jo Johnson who is best known (to me at least) for her role as Julie on Felicity. Here she plays a young widower with a son that decides to "move back home" after her husband dies in front of a train.

What starts as a drama gradually becomes a murder mystery. The story is very formulaic and predictable but the actors mostly do a decent job. It never really becomes scary because the outcome is so easy to predict, but that would have been OK with me were it not for the conclusion shown after the story is done.

The director, Philippe Gagnon, has some potential but still has a long way to go. The flashbacks used don't add to the story and the romance is not done with any flair. Despite all it's flaws I still thought this was an OK way to spend a sleepless night - just don't go in expecting much.

It's funny how everyone's talking about a grieving widow, when right from the word go she was all laughs and smiles and bubbly given the horrible way her husband died in front of her eyes and she missed her own mother's funeral. Oh and she didn't mess around in getting all mushy and doe eyed with her former high school boyfriend. Forget about doctor death, concentrate on Kate!

I'm sure that the movie is based on the English serial killer Dr Harold Shipman
