Le bel arnaqueur

This is supposed to be a thriller and the music sounds like something off of a 1980's comedy. This could have been a really good little movie as the story line was ok, but the music totally took away from even taking it seriously.

Reminded me of a typical Lifetime movie with a very bad soundtrack.

I have to say that I was drawn into this story , It had a different feel to it , not like the usual predictable daytime movies. I agree with other reviews regarding that awful music throughout, I mean it just did'nt fit with this type of movie, completely mismatched!

The plotline here was good, intriguing , with some good acting performances from the cast. It kept me guessing and interested throughout, I think a 5 rating is fair, a thumbs down for the music though !

The real estate market is tanking and realtor Lauren Baker (Emily Rose) is struggling. It doesn't help that her writer boyfriend Francois doesn't work. Sean Crawford comes in looking for an agent to sell his family mansion which he co-owns with his sister Rebecca. With her partner Maddie, Lauren is able to sell the coveted Chicago address for cash. Then news of the murder of the real Crawford siblings on the Appalachian Trail arrive. It's a scam and the real Garrett Crawford claims the mansion. The situation for Lauren is dire and even Francois leaves her.

This could be a murder mystery but it spends half of the movie exploring the excitement of a real estate deal. It needs to get to the reveal of the scam quicker. It needs to get to the heart of a thriller sooner. Once the investigation starts, Lauren should pair together with Garrett. This plays like a lower level TV thriller. There's no reason why that thug would leave Lauren alive. It's not the worst movie out there but I can't give this a passing grade.

This could've been a really good movie. But the people who cast this movie used FOUR almost identical actors in different roles. It was so confusing. All FOUR had black hair, the identical build and the same height. Why couldn't someone on the production team change the hair color of a couple of these guys to blonde or redhead or change hairstyles so the viewers could tell the difference between the men? Even their hair styles were alike or similar!

I guess the casting 'experts' couldn't find FOUR identical quadruplets to play the FOUR roles.

The same goes for the female actors. Two were brunette and we couldn't figure out who was the good one and who was the bad one.

The movie is very sloppy. I don't know if they had to edit out a lot of scenes that would have made this movie make more sense or not. I know a lot of things can happen in post production. But if that's where the blunders occurred then that's the fault of the producers/directors.

Cute, sexy, quirky and feminine all in one...what's not to love about a naive character with all those attributes? Mix in an interesting plot and a few thrills and you have yourself a winner. I recommend this, especially fun to watch on a cold rainy or snowy evening.
