Dangerous Methods

Trust me, you'll get nothing out of this despite competent direction, decent acting and a beatiful lead. It's a really un-unique, unsurprising and uninspired story.

It is always a sad task to review a film that could have been good because it had good writing, but was not properly executed by the director and the actors. Dangerous Methods is one of those unfortunate films. The storyline is very interesting, but the actors deliver their lines in an unconvincing manner, and the director does nothing to fix that problem. The poor acting may be due to inexperience on the part of most of the cast, or it may be partially due to poor directing. Regardless, the end result is unsatisfying and not believable. At least the writers of this tale have a bright future in the film industy.

The movie is about a deranged method actor, Desmond Gage (Christopher Showerman), who is hiring a new personal assistant, Lacy (Rachele Brooke Smith). She makes the smartest move a young girl can do, moving into his remote cabin with no cell service at all. Please avoid this movie! The only reason I can give points is because Costas Mandylor (who plays Harry, father of Lacy) is in this movie. This movie has no direction, is boring, bad acting, no storyline, a lot of plot holes and an ending that will leave you even more confused as the movie itself. I am doing you all a favor, please avoid this movie at all cost. A waste of time and one of the worst movies I have seen this year.

Weird, weak, waste of time. Luckily it was 4am when I watched this, so no productivity lots, just time. I agree with a previous review that the music backing track it too loud, making actual dialogue difficult to hear. An "isolated cabin" yet we easily see truck and car headlights on the very nearby road in a night scene. Awkward to poor acting on pretty much everyone's part. Casting of supports actors was hokie, especially the Police and Doctor. Rachelle Brooke Smith's acting was similarly poor; especially her nervousness and crying scenes, but at least she's very nice to look at. Weak, unsatisfying ending.

Well casted! Story line unexpected. However way to violent movie (blood) for the lifetime network. The ending was wrong. Would be better fit for another network.
