Tipping Point

Definitely worth watching.

The leads were very appealing, with clever twists and charming dialogue.

There's a few cheats plotwise, but nothing too glaring.

At first, I thought Kathryn Winnock's accent was Hispanic, but reading her bio, I see it's Canadian and Ukraine. She's very likable, with terrific energy. I wouldn't be surprised to see her or the guy who played Jimmy move on to bigger things.

The supporting actors all did a good job. You can see the effects of a smaller budget in the relative lack of camera moves, but that doesn't really hurt the level of suspense. Very good for TV.

Great murder mystery but not as good as the game with all them coins

Nina Patterson (Katheryn Winnick) hears voices that almost drove her to jump off a building. Four years later, she's a lot better and trying to attend medical school. She works late nights in the hospital MRI unit. Michael Cooper comes in for an MRI. Then her mentor Dr. Bill Strand tells her that Cooper died despite that the scan looked clean to her. She is romantically pursued by the eager programmer Jimmy Holland.

I like the idea of a woman recovering from mental illness running across a murder mystery. I also like Katheryn Winnick and she fits this role well. The problem is that the movie never exceeds the TV production values. It's not as tense as I hope and the final reveal is too convoluted. It needs to clean up the last 10 minutes. This has the potential to be a better than most TV thrillers.

It is a pity that the first comment shown about this movie distorts one of the most interesting things about it: the "nice girl" in this story has not a "past" "childhood physic problem", she has schizophrenia, and like thousands of schizophrenic people, she has to live both with her condition and the stigma of being cataloged as "nuts" by everybody if she decides to tell about it. So as every schizophrenic do, she tells no one, she just takes her medication and leads a mostly normal life, a bit afraid of her voices to appear any day again and very afraid of being rejected by others because of such possibility.

From that point, the movie turns into a very interesting movie, if a bit expectable in the outcome, really good in every other aspect. Katheryn Winnick has everything it takes to be a star, she is remarkably beautiful, but she can make you forget about that, and she can make you forget that she is anyone but Nina, tortured by the noises in her head, unable to trust what she sees or believes is true anymore.

A movie worth to see, for many reasons
