Into the Arms of Danger

This was very entertaining for the genre, and especially a made for tv movie. I don't really want to say more, because I hate when reviews tell you details about the movie.

The plot was a little far fetched but the story once you got into it tracked well and they tied up any loose ends. Better than many Lifetime movies. Cathy Moriarty was a little over the top playing to a supporting cast as Momma which were many unknowns..

I loved this movie, it is so Lifetime! Just the right amount of suspense and cheesiness. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for it to be on again so I can watch it with my mom.

"Into The Arms of Danger" is without a doubt one of the most creative Lifetime dramas I've watched. The story is compelling, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. The cast - especially Cathy, who played Momma - did an amazing job. The art of a truly good film is that it's supposed to put you in the zone, allowing you to absorb the emotions of the characters, and the director and writer did a good job with it. I genuinely felt for Momma and her clearly-brainwashed children, but on the other hand, I also felt very strongly for Jenny, who was clearly the victim. Momma clearly has her demons, but there were moments I saw what potential she had, if she'd gotten the help she needed and deserved. Anyway, the movie hit all my sweet spots and I genuinely enjoyed this watch over many other films because the storty has substance and isn't one of those overly-cliche Lifetime flicks, it's actually very interesting in its depth, but very entertaining as well.

On a flyer, I watched this movie on LMN and was so pleasantly surprised that I felt the need to give it an (almost) ten-star review. If the storyline weren't so far-fetched, it would have gained all five stars from me.

Where the film triumphed, however, was the great cast of actors. Cathy Moriarty was fantastic as the deranged mother - a role I hadn't seen her play before - and AlexAnn Hopkins was equally a delightful heroin.

The standout for me was the role of Clyde, played by Sam Meader. He gave such a solidly chilling performance as the bad guy that he almost had me rooting for him. An actor I hadn't come across before, I look forward to seeing him in future movies.

Overall, a fun film if you don't take it too seriously - worth the watch!
