L'emprise du vice

Absolutely dreadful. Felt like I was watching an old 80's Lifetime movie. It's like it was only made to show off Alyssa's boobs. And if that is what Nora Roberts books are like, count me out. Doesn't seem like I'm missing much. Skip this one, don't waste your time. There wasn't one moment of suspense.

Terrible movie. Terrible writing, acting, pacing. Milano should really just ride the little fame she has from her childhood years and let it be because she's not a good actor. So knowing that, I didn't expect much but it was even worse than imagined. But if you've really nothing better to do, give this movie a shot. You might like it better than I did, but I won't bet on that.

Surprisingly bad acting, bad plot, loose ends and I want my 1h36m back. I haven't read it but I can guarantee that the book is better because this movie was a trainwreck.

Bad acting, bad plot, bad script. A proper waste of time. And just because "my review is too short" for publishing, I will just repeat how bad in every possible aspect the movie is. Thank you and do not watch this movie.

I can't believe I sat through the whole movie. Everything about it was so fake. I didn't see characters, I saw actors playing a part, reading lines, repeating scenes over and over again. The story itself could have been interesting but the acting and especially the dialogue were so bad! Alyssa Milano looks awful in this movie. Terrible performance on her part, really. The chemistry between her and Sam Page didn't feel right either. Too many scenes were repetitive (and redundant). Some were just happening for the sake of the story, like the part where Grace is becoming a consultant (I mean, come on!). Everything about this movie was really fake. Nothing felt authentic, not the love, not the anger, not the sadness, not even the so called "revelations". It was so stiff, nothing was fluent. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Or maybe read the book. I haven't read it but it's got to be better than this. Another failed Netflix production, but what else is new?!
