Scoperta mortale

I rarely leave reviews, because I am easy to please. I never go into a lifetime movie with a lot of expectations. I know the acting will be bad, but it's entertaining enough, and this movie was right on par with that. However, I am only giving two stars, because there is a scene where the nanny is reading Facebook posts about a man named nick logan, and she reads off one comment saying "nick Johnson" when there are multiple comments saying nick Logan. In no place, will we see the word Johnson. Why? Why couldn't they refilm that 10 second scene? Gaslighting their audience into thinking the name is nick Johnson when I can clearly read that it says nick Logan? I thought I was losing my mind. They didn't reference the nanny being illiterate, so I was completely blindsided by this. Do better.

Kimberly thinks she's found the perfect part time nanny job for the summer, but on the very first day she accidentally catches the kids' father cheating on their mom, who's out of town on business. This starts a chain of events including stalkers and threatening exes, ending in multiple murders and leaving Kimberly scared for her own life. Can she help the police find the killer before she becomes the next victim?

It's a formula Lifetime thriller which has a nanny involved in murder and intrigue. It's nothing new, but no one watches -I don't -expecting anything original. What I expect is an enjoyable and mildly exciting TV film, and this thriller delivers that. Of course, the killer is obvious but hey it still keeps you watching.

This was a retread of so many past Lifetime movie with a nanny character. This time, though, the nanny was a good person. But I really didn't care what happened in the movie and the plot had a lot of holes in it! An overall disappointment. Skip it!

I'm not sure where to start- the amateurish acting, the questionable plot, or the stupid outfits Miss Kimberly wore. Gabe was in full emote mode every time you saw him...overacting at its worst! Britt was equally emotive as was Kimberly at at a number of spots. The only two characters of mild professionalism was the Seinfeld look-alike detective and Laurie Fortier. Ms. Fortier, however, also went into emote mode while brandishing the pistol near the end of the movie.

And the plot was bizarre and really unexplained- rather unexplainable.

A total recasting and some rewrites are the only things that could save this mess.

The acting was so, so terrible. It's like people were plucked off of the streets and put into the movie. It's another one of those LMN movies that you want to watch just to make fun of it, like they do on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Save yourself some time and pass on this one.
