Deadly Pursuits

Even as Lifetime movies go, this one is so bad it's almost laughable. Almost, but not quite, which is why it's not even useful for a chuckle, like some bad movies.

The acting is stiff and forced. Which could be because the script was so bad that the actors couldn't get into their roles. But then, we're talking C-level acting talent to begin with, so you I can't blame the script entirely.

If, however, for some reason you enjoy oddly phrased lines delivered in monotone voices or with forced inflection, then by all means go ahead and watch this. Otherwise, change the channel and spare yourself.

Where oh where did the genes go ? I suffered through this film because my wife is addicted to soaps on Lifetime Movie Network. Just because progeny of Hollywood personalities get an inside track doesn't mean they can really act or deserve the chance. This is just a complete waste of viewer's time unless you are a teeny-bopper looking for some much lacking T & A. I'd be afraid if she ( T.S. )told me her real name, I'd crack up laughing and be carted off to the funny farm ! She can't carry coals to Newcastle yet alone a worthwhile production ! A minus ten on a scale of one to ten. BTW, if she was the champion, I wouldn't take her to a dog fight !

The absolute only reason to watch this made for TV movie is to see bra-less Tori Spelling hopping around in very hot outfits.

I didnt realize that back in the day she had quite a smoking torso. The movie itself is sort of dumb, but boy-oh-boy can she move. She (or the director) knew exactly how to position her on the screen for maximum hotness.

Don't expect an earth shattering drama. This is very light fare. Her acting ability is adequate for this sort of flick. I neglected to mention there is also a boy-toy lead. Very typical for this kind of movie. Frankly, I spent more time looking at Tori's body than trying to get engaged in the plot.

The dialog is dumb. And her alleged background as a former stripper really doesn't come into play much. And that brings me to an unfortunate thing about this flick -- the longer it goes on the more demure Tori's clothing becomes. Until the end in the crop top. It turned into quite a climax.
