Plus jamais

I love this movie, for a variety of reasons... Jennifer for a start gives it a green light in my book, and yes, while its is reminiscent of Sleeping with the Enemy, I find Slim much stronger than Julias character in that movie.... Michael APted is a brilliant director, and Juliette Lewis makes up the rest of a great cast. I was shocked when it went strauight to DVD in the UK, i saw a pirate copy from a friend who wokrs at Columbia, and I loved it , and raved about it for weeks...

It keeps me on the edge of my seat , and everytime I watch it, that first time Mitch hits Slim still makes me gasp. I whole heartedly recommend this film top anyone...

There have been many movies like this that have come before, but this one was more inspiring as I felt that the protagonist took more responsibility for herself by learning to fight and learning self defense. That is an extremely empowering aspect we don't always see, it's usually more about hiding.

I never write reviews, but i've seen this movie twice and it does the job of keeping you intrigued and shows how someone can take control of another's life/well being. I wasn't going to comment until I was reading the bad reviews, and it seems each of them is insulting the movie; but also each of them bring up J-Los body!!! what does her body have to do with the movie? just say it's bad and move on!! don't start insulting looks.

The film is about a husband who beats his wife. So Slim (J.LO) and her daughter Gracy have to run away from LA to North Michigan. That's the beginning of a dangerous chase because her husband Mitch (Billy Campbell) is a stalker and follows her across the whole country. She decides to hurt him more than he has ever done it to her. The topic of the movie is that not only the man is the strong part of a relationship and how a woman fights in such a situation. J.Lo convinces in her role as an angry mother and even soap-smartie Noah Wyle surprises as a bad boy. The film isn't a blockbuster but nevertheless enjoyable.

This is only the 3rd time I have viewed this film and feel that is one of JLO's finest performances! She is excellent in the way she approaches what she had to do with the psycho husband she married. Those type of men are relentless and very dangerous so she defended herself and her child. Leading male and supporting performances from Juliette Lewis and others were very good performances as well.

I don't understand the bad reviews but I'm glad she has enough good reviews to outweigh the bad ones.
