Dormindo com o Perigo

The lead plays an intelligent, experienced woman who wants to make positive changes in her life. But, like so many LMN women, she falls into the sack with someone she barely knows and obviously knows nothing about his past. The clue bus gave her plenty of opportunities to take a ride and arrive in a better place, but she keeps going back no matter what.

To paraphrase the movie airplane: "Shana, she bought her ticket, she knew what she was getting into. I say let her crash."

This movie was very unpleasant - the antagonist was a mentally unstable man that somehow was able to seduce women with his charm and then terrorize them.

My views:

1. How old was Paul? His "daughter" looked like his sister!!!!

2. Why was Grace so forgiving? This guy was was a nut!!!

3. He confesses that he had a bi-polar disorder -- so was he not seeing a shrink?

4. The ending was unpleasant, but satisfying non the less.

Please watch to the conclusion, then have a couple of drinks!

From the beginning, the movie draws you into this troubled relationship because of the excellent acting on the part of the main characters. It does an excellent job of showing the abuser and the abused's descent into madness. An important watch for people to understand this cycle of violence.

She says, Sleeping with the Enemy wants it's royalties.

Grace Tanner (Elisabeth Röhm) falls for her alternative medicine doctor Paul Carter (Antonio Cupo). It develops into a full romance, but underlying issues balloon into a run for her life.

This is a Lifetime movie. At least, they bought the distribution. It's their standard woman-in-danger plot. It's all very standard and very second-rate. I like Röhm over the years but she does come off a little cool. The biggest issue is the male lead. I don't know much about him. He seems to be a veteran TV actor. I probably seen him before, but I wouldn't know. In addition, the character is too bland. I get the idea of transformation from nice guy to possessive creep. They just really need a good meet-cute. It can't be as boring this one. I don't care that this copies every other one of these movies. I just want it to be good.
