Living with the Enemy

I think this was one of the best movies I've seen on TV in a long time. I disagree with those who think it was a waste of time and money. Sarah Lancaster is a very good actress and Mark Humphrey is a very good actor not to mention both are very sexy. I think they both were perfect for the parts they played in this movie. Mark Humphrey is one of the sexiest actors I've seen in a long time. I taped this movie and have watched it several times, that is how much I enjoyed it. It kept me guessing a lot, you don't know if Phillip is involved in any of the criminal activity until the last of the movie and you feel so sorry for Allison for getting into this situation especially because she is so in love with Phillip. I think this is definitely a movie worth watching.

Airing on The Lifetime Channel as "Living with the Enemy" this film features Sarah Lancaster as a harried assistant who is swept off her feet by a techie billionaire. While adjusting to her new life - being the wife of a billionaire can be a tad stifling with the cars and bodyguards - the young bride discovers some nasty history behind her hubby's success. While some of the many twists and turns seemed a bit too convenient, there were enough of them that weren't too obvious so that I was entertained throughout. Overall, the movie makes for a nice evening. It kept me guessing - and staying tuned after each commercial break!

Just wrote a worthy review only for to to disappear. I felt like i was watching an 1980s midday movie as an adaptation of a bad mills n boon novel. Every character predictable down to every word of dialogue. Nonsensical in that the wife had stable hand prep horse, almost got caught but created a distraction then ran off on foot?!??! Absolute garbage despite sort of ok acting, this movie is reserved for bored housewives while bub is taking their midday nap. I think after 5 minutes i could have written the remaining script myself. Yah it had a "twist" but that too was predictable and tedious. Sorry but if i marry a billionaire i am not interested in digging into his past who gives a flying.... enjoy the ride.

Allison Conner (Sarah Lancaster) attends a conference with her boss Bev. She meets a nice guy in Phillip Lauder (Mark Humphrey) who turns out to be the multi-billionaire that Bev is trying to land. He quickly proposes. It's a big transition as she lives under her new husband's security. His previous wife Monique was kidnapped for ransom and killed. There seems to be more to the story. The FBI blackmails her to co-operate in their investigation into Phillip. More people are getting killed and suspicions are raised on all sides.

Like a lot of these movies, the production is not rich enough to portray a billionaire's life. As for the story itself, there are lots of questionable turns. The first odd note struck is Bev. I don't understand her feeling towards the new relationship unless she already knew something from the start. For normal business, Allison would be a great way to get in the door. There are strange occurrences like the FBI pulling her off the street throwing her into a van. It's done for drama but it's overly done. There are many things happening that are unreal. If security is so tight, Phillip would insists on a constant bodyguard for Allison. There are characters that I'm not sure who they are supposed to be. I know they work for the company but I'm not sure as what. The acting is fine for a TV movie. There are worst. The 'mystery' is functional enough to keep a small amount of interest.

Turned it off when the FBI agent told her she would be charged as an accomplice for the murder if she didn't help them. She didn't even know the victim or the husband. And you can't be forced to testify against your husband. Stupid story line.
