Liaisons obscures

Unbelievable story, really bad acting ... so incredibly unbelievable. I really didn't care what happened. Two good actors, Rosalind chao and Thomas Gibson. The FBI agent was just terrible, I have seen him in other roles where he did a better job, I did not take him seriously as a FBI agent. Don't waste your time.

Not sure what I expected, but in many ways this was a disappointment of a thriller. The protagonist's (Vanessa Marcil) attitude, her intent from the very beginning to get her son back (but not the husband), had me confused. A little back story of marital problems would have been most welcome -- especially since the actor portraying the husband (Thomas Gibson) acted rings around the official police detective love interest (James Wilder).

The whole FBI subplot thing -- including the courtroom scenes -- had no credibility at all, and Agent Lassiter (Leland Orser) was such a chore to watch that at one point I considered just turning the blame thing off. And the wife's best friend (Rosalind Chao) was never even given the dignity of a name.

Maybe some other viewers will be satisfied with the ending. I do not feel that much of a job was done knitting up plot lines. I was left thinking, "Wait, is that all there is? What about A and B and C?"

Don't get me wrong. If you are a fan of Lifetime (bore time) movies you will enjoy this one. Please feed the actresses before they waste away! The beautiful people rule in this film.

There are some good actors in this. I just wish the actress chosen for the heroine were a better actress. The plot isn't bad, but the writing ain't great. The interpersonal scenes, such as between the heroine and the cop, the fbi guy and his boss... I zipped right through those, because they drag it down. The pacing is awkward, the acting is mostly unconvincing. I'm thinking that since it's a tv movie, and it's the nineties, maybe it was aimed at soap-opera fans. It's too bad, 'cause it's not a bad story, and there is some good acting (Rosalind Chao comes to mind), but they're doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

This movie was a great movie , great plot , and even though the actors weren't that famous they did a good job acting. It is truely too bad that this movie didn't recieve the recognition that it truely deserved because this is a good movie . I recomend this movie to everyone , no matter what your type of movie you prefer because this movie will make your day .
