Desideri proibiti

I caught this tv movie the other night. In recent decades, tv movies, in general, have come to outshine theatrical releases. Unfortunately, "A Lover Scorned", isn't one of them. It's a very droll and dull effort. No pizzazz. No charisma. No excitement. No melodrama. No emotion. It was as if the cast was going through a mere script reading. I would, ordinarily, rate it 4-stars out of 10. However, the story did have a number of twists and turns in it. So, I generously pushed it up to 5-stars. This project could have been and should have been much better than the finished product.

Was this silly murder for love and money thriller meant to be a spoof? It just jumps from plot twist to plot twist. It's so terrible. Poor Emilie de Ravin. What's she doing in this nonsense.

The acting is wooden, the characters are cardboard and dialogue is bad.

I enjoy watching the lifetime channels, but this movie is painful to watch. I'm not really sure who put this cast together but the acting is D-class. The insurance salesman is way too cocky and dull. The wife is naive and empty. The husband is all over the place. This was so bad that I was only able to stomach about 20 minutes of this movie. So, to the DVR trash you go...

I kept watching thinking it will be better. Nope, it was the most boring and lame movie.

I know it's a Lifetime movie, but Lifetime has cranked out some really well-done and enjoyable guilty pleasures in the last few years, but this is not one of them. Terrible drama-class acting, terrible writing and dialogue, completely unbelievable, and predictable, The scene where they go to the mountains is done on a second-rate green screen and it just lends a cheep feel to movie, Overall, it feels like a Tyler Perry drama on OWN
