Companhia Perigosa

Candice Bergen plays a nervous thriller writer spending a night alone at a beach house after making her first public appearance in five years. She runs across an intruder, a young man who worships her, followed by a cop who comes to arrest the kid. Someone is out to get her, although it isn't clear who until the end. Her husband is on his way to the house as she tries to sort out who's who and what's what. Bergen is OK as a nervous Nelly, and the kid (played by Bug Hall) is pretty entertaining. Aussie actor Bryan Brown as the cop and Michael Murphy as the husband round out the cast of this telepicture based on an Ira Levin play. A good one for a slow Saturday night. Its release date (2003) ensures much use of cell phones, which is a good thing, because the story otherwise could just as easily be taking place in 1950..

I found myself constantly trying to find something wrong with this film through the duration of it because I knew better than to be liking it so much - but i couldn't help it. I kept thinking that with some decent actors this script had great potential. It did of course have its typical t.v movie flaws but you learn to except those eventually. I must admit the one let down I will stick with is the not so brilliant title. It's really got nothing to do with the film and it certainly doesn't make you say "I need to watch this film."

The twists and turns this movie take will keep you on edge right to the last shot. I even loved the last scene so much it took this from an 8 to a 9 so stay tuned right until the end credits flash up.

Footsteps is made for television. It's a tv-movie and it shows. Not that all tv-movies are bad, far from that, but this one just is. The story is just boring, the movie contains a lot of scenes where you roll your eyes, the kind of scenes where bad decisions are so obvious they become annoying to watch and bring down the quality of a story. The cast wasn't awful, just average. Candice Bergen should stick with Murphy Brown, that suits her more.

Tense drama of life imitating art. A popular suspense novelist(Candice Bergen)with a myriad of phobias is terrorized when a couple of strangers appear at her isolated beach house. Murder is the theme and it takes big time nerve and little savvy to survive. Bryan Brown as well as Bergen are tremendous and believable. Also in the cast are Bug Hall and Michael Murphy. Very good for a made-for-TV movie. Kudos to Christopher Franke for the mood setting musical background.

As a big Candice Bergen fan i was looking forward to see this movie. And i wasn´t disappointed, this was a very interesting movie. It´s the kind of movie that you don´t know how it´s gonna end until the last minute, and you don´t trust anyone. Candice Bergen´s performance was amazing and so was Bug Hall´s and Bryan Brown´s. I hope this movie comes out on VHS or DVD but in the mean time I recommend anyone who likes suspense to catch this one on tv.
