Prisoner of Love

First of all,the acting was just abysmal. The actor who played Casey immediately gave sociopathic vibes and his flirting was just too obvious and silly. And Vicky's facial expressions looked like they belonged on a Mama's Family episode. The story never developed the characters. It was like it was produced by the Hallmark channel.

We needed more of Vicky's back story that would make her susceptible to this kind of manipulation and criminal activity. The actor who played Casey just fell flat and he just didn't nail sociopath possibly because the direction was substandard. I just could not get invested in any of the characters.

This movie is so bad I don't even know where to start at. Now, in all fairness the actors were pretty good it was the writing and directing that was just horrible. The story was so boring and blah. Save your time and don't watch this. I promise you'll regret it. This story had so much more to tell and they dropped the ball. The writing was so FLAT THE STORY WAS FLAT. This is based on a true story and it felt like the worst story ever told. Nicholle Tom, was really good and so was Adam Mayfield. This is possibly the worst Lifetime movie ever made. Now I know to stay away from anything directed or written by this cast.

First, Florence, AL is in the middle of the city not the woods. They drove through the city to the Academy Sports parking lot.... Still city. The fact they added the tanning bed to the whole thing just for giggles... Well that was hilarious. You'd have to hear the former employee's interview about her to understand the joke. She was not a victim and they make Casey too smart and too attractive for that role. He is more of an oversized Elmer Fudd fellow. Word for word, the whole movie was EXACTLY what the news reports all told. Basically, they compiled the reports for the script. And lastly, the sheriff of Lauderdale County is an old white Boss Hogg looking man....and yet here we have replaced him with not an old white Boss Hogg looking man... Many, many inaccuracies. It makes my home area look like a train wreck.

You can tell this movie was made in a rush. Some director wanted to be the first to make a movie about this story and it shows big time here. The acting is absolutely atrocious as I've seen better acting in adult films. Nothing about this movie was even close to the true story and this should of never hit the screens. One day someone will get this story right but as I said this producer was in a huge hurry to get this out. Perhaps they should of told more of Vicky's story ahead of her falling in love with a criminal. Oh another thing, the actors picked for this movie are no where close to representation of the actual real life persons. Especially Casey White. Overall my rating is this.... Horrible, Horrible, Horrible!!!

After about 30 seconds, I realized this was a true story and that I had actually watched footage on the news when the escape happened.

Nicholle Tom of "The Nanny" fame plays a prison administrator who falls in love with a prisoner (Adam Mayfield) and helps him escape in "Prisoner of Love" - guess what, a Lifetime tv movie.

If you know the story, it's a sad one of a lonely, unfulfilled woman, Vicky, who wants some happiness. The prisoner starts flirting with her right away. They do plan an escape, but it takes two years to carry it out.

We know what happens. But I have to believe that for Vicky (Tom) those few days of living out her fantasy was worth it.
