This wannabe feminist revenge drama is undermined by a poor central performance by Laurel Holloman, as a woman who suffers mistreatment from her boyfriend. Although it probably fits the phenomena, Lily's continual forgiveness of misdeeds reads as more weakness on her part than conniving on him, particularly since Tim is presented as such an obvious user. A good clue is his chain-smoking. Although Lily needs to be partially attractive to have attained the attention of a handsome man, her little girl demeanor makes her all too much the masochistic doormat. Holloman's narrow interpretation of Lily extends to her behavior with her parents, though it is because she is a rich girl that presumably allows for her lack of need for employment or some other social milieu which might have let us see her act differently. The therapy sessions that have Holloman talking to the camera, and include screaming, also show Lily to have an immature attitude (though this point at least gets a payoff). The treatment presents Lily's father as a textbook abuser, who submits her to a sporty variation of William Tell, this time with a gun, that supposedly gives context to Lily's future choice of men. Lily's turning point is an act of physical abuse that reads as unbelievable given the physicality of her relationship, with the climactic trap full of contrivance. The teleplay has the distinction of using that howler "You disgust me", and the father is described as "Stanley Kowalski". Although as Tim, Andrew Davoli isn't given much to play, he does supply some boyish smiles and the requisite hunk appeal, and as Lily's best friend with the unfathomable name of Kilo, Rachel Robinson supplies some tartness, even if she backs out of the conflict at the last minute.

Bravo...Well done.... Kept my attention the entire way..... Yes it is a bit Lifetime.. with a slightly harder edge..... Anyway, I super liked it.... Couldn't figure out the end either, which is always a bonus... Great acting 👍

I find it very hard to believe that as of this writing five of the one dozen people who have voted for this abysmal piece of crap gave it a score of 10. Somebody must be stacking the deck. I only suffered through the whole thing so I could justifiably make this comment.

Although it came as little surprise to me that the first time I heard of or saw this movie it was on a pay TV movie channel, I must say I really enjoyed it and subsequently bought it on DVD. It has received a lot of criticism, but I personally think the acting from all the leads was more than adequate, particularly that of Laurel Holloman (Lily) and Andy Davoli (Tim). The fact of the matter is, sometimes you just want to watch a thriller that you don't have to think about too much, that has some good sex scenes thrown it. Holloman and Davoli are both hot, and it is worth it just to watch these two together. This movie was right up my alley for a lazy weeknight at home.
