Elisabeth Rohm stars as Grace, an stewardess who meets Paul, an alternative therapy doctor, who woos and wants to marry her. I think they may have her character's name later for whatever reason. But the trouble is with Paul who is a violent, controlling psycho who mentally and physically abuses Grace and keeps her isolated. Will Grace ever escape. You will have to tune in to find out! Highly recommend this movie!
Okay, I straight up have to admit that I have recently become addicted to these Lifetime "inspired by true events" movies. They have this melodramatic formula, but it works in terms of making you care what the outcome will be. In this case, I like Elizabeth Rohm, and her character seems like one who would never put up with abuse, thus showing that it can happen to anyone, even those who think they would never tolerate abuse. It shows how easy it is to rationalize staying in such a relationship. For that reason, I find this film's message to be valuable, and the performances believable. I actually think it would be valuable to allow women in abusive relationships watch this and discuss it in a group therapy situation.
This movie was very unpleasant - the antagonist was a mentally unstable man that somehow was able to seduce women with his charm and then terrorize them.
My views:
1. How old was Paul? His "daughter" looked like his sister!!!!
2. Why was Grace so forgiving? This guy was was a nut!!!
3. He confesses that he had a bi-polar disorder -- so was he not seeing a shrink?
4. The ending was unpleasant, but satisfying non the less.
Please watch to the conclusion, then have a couple of drinks!

From the beginning, the movie draws you into this troubled relationship because of the excellent acting on the part of the main characters. It does an excellent job of showing the abuser and the abused's descent into madness. An important watch for people to understand this cycle of violence.

- TriviaReunites Law & Order actresses Elisabeth Rohm and Leslie Hendrix. Elisabeth played Serena Southerlyn in 85 episodes and Leslie recurred across multiple Law & Order franchise series as an M.E.
- GoofsNear the beginning of the movie, Paul does a blood draw. Strips of rubber are used, not rubber tubing, no blood draw happens that fast (techs wait at least a couple of minutes, and ask patients to make a fist), and there's no blood in the vial he holds up.
