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 liked that this one is bit more extreme. I liked the saying "what a horrible way to die" which indicates how extreme this movie is. It's very similar to all other lifetime movies which are all realistic and about love. I liked the reality part such as something we can find ourselves in real life such as jobs, friends, criminals. I did not like the ending which could have progressed to much more story if main characters decided to go along with each other. Instead movies was finished in too typical approach with even bit unrealistic death avoidance and twists at the end. The end was unfortunately the quickest and the most unrealistic and most typical part of this movie.
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!
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.

- TriviaThe Crowder and Associates interviewer, Mr. Peters compliments Alison on her "...honesty and integrity...." immediately after Alison violates the confidentiality agreement with her former employer - by talking about her previous work incident.
- GoofsOn suspicion, Allison finally opens the door to Marks downstairs apartment and goes inside even though they have promised to respect their privacy, and what does she see? His computers on and displaying the photos from the camera installed secretly in her room and bogus emails sent to her from the Law firm. A methodical criminal such as Mark would never leave such evidence in plain sight. He would definitely lock his computers when going out of his room.
