Liaisons obscures

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.
