Harcelée une fois de trop

Alison Peters (Cindy Busby) is struggling after her messy divorce. The former lawyer is stuck working at a big box store and trying to make ends meet. She decides to rent out her furnished basement to a family. James (Marcus Rosner) shows up without his family. They have split up and he's renting alone. Her harassing boss gets murdered.

This needs to setup a bit more with her husband and her lawyer job. Why not show her ex getting her fired and reputation destroyed? He could also be the first victim. As a lawyer, she should be better at handling such clumsy workplace harassment. For example, she could put her phone down to record the restaurant get-together and claim it as part of building his case. As a lawyer, she should know to be careful when dealing with the cops and she is jumping to conclusion quick. The movie is simply not written at the smartest level especially with Alison. It's frustrating to have her always a step behind.

She falls for a guy she knows nothing about. I guess pecs and abs are the only thing they think about. She takes a ride on the clue bus when it's way too late.

The only redeeming factor is that the girls are cute.

The main virtue is its predictability. You now, from the first scenes, the story and the film has the gift to not propose surprises, twits or other inovations. Decent acting, naive story, the expected end. You know everything from many other Lifetime filmes but , I repeat , this is , maybe, the only obvious virtue of the film. So, far to be a bad movie, it is just the film of its public. So, nice. And, off curse, so, so, so predictable.

I really liked this LIFETIME film, but the ending was a little weak and I would've written it differently. In this film, Marcus Rosner ('Christmas In Evergreen') plays James, who seems to be one of those nice guys, the one with the muscular build, handsome face and kind demeanour who would turn any beautiful woman on.....until Alison, actress Cindy Busby, becomes his landlord and as he moves in to the basement apartment downstairs, his true colours begins to show and people begin to disappear. A nice movie, but so so!

Writing Quality: Unoriginal script, but it works well. Great acting by the MC. The villain is one of those typical extremely fixated on "bad behavior" villains. That is, even though James, the villain, has a good woman, Alison, a beautiful home to live in, etc,. he chooses to hone in on anyone he deems unacceptable or in the way of his relationship with Alison. Which makes his behavior, of course, creepy and unpredictable.

Scare Factor: There are a few kill scenes in this one, and they happen suddenly. The scariest part occurs in the finale, where everything comes to a head.

Content (sex, language, & violence): A sex scene that shows just the implication of something about to happen. Mild language. Violence is swift except in the end where there is a lot of tussling between James and Alison for an amazing and captivating showdown.

Values & Themes: Sexual harassment, protecting from harm, second chances, best friends looking out for each other

Best Part: An intense satisfying ending
