    Pay attention close the 1st time and it will save you the trouble of watching again!

    It's one of those movies that you watch the 1st time and you'll give it an 8, because your standards are not really high. The time that I looked more closely at the minor details, I give it a 4! Plenty of errors in the writing of this one. A prostitute claims she could not make out what the criminal looks like in the night, but somehow she's able to tell what's on his license plates from a distance. Then, her friend just so happens to be an IT tech wannabe, which she needs to find out who murdered her dad! The executress allows her mother to blackmail her over a murder that happened when she wad a kid! Then, she just so happened to know when her mom would be in the tub, despite being out of her house for 6 years or more! The director did not care about 20-something lady's acting either. When her dad died, she felt like she let him down and she did not cry! A husband dies out of the blue and he looks like he's been cut in the face.

    The stock option part does make sense(probably the only major part that does make sense), because the 2 execs really did not care about the company--only about getting paid. A problematic miracle drug would swamp a company with lawsuits, but they didn't care. The reason why it makes sense is because the 2 execs got paid and left-- regardless of what happens to the company.

    The Perfect Boss, the Lifetime Network Movie from 2013

    I don't think this Movie was completely bad, but I think it could have been so much more. I feel it had a good premise, but the idea's needed to be developed on more. I won't write plot as this has been covered already but what I will say is development in a story is very important. Although the story line still progressed I think it would have made the movie more suspenseful, which I feel it needed in order to rate better. There were some good Scene set ups, but again they seemed to fall short in development before moving on, I was thinking I want e.g. more close calls. I enjoyed the relationship between Jessica and her Mum, the manipulation that was apparent. I think It had the most development in the story and helped me to understand Jessica's Character. The main antagonist in the film. I think what I wanted from this movie was more of a showdown between Jessica, Renee and Cameron. I think Characters whose reputations were on the line would have fought to cover up more, they weren't as intelligent as you would expect for corrupt characters. It had all the makings for an excellent Crime drama. Jessica had so much more potential, and while she was good I don't think she was excellent.

    Excellent Movie!!!

    I love this movie so much. It's EPIC and I love movies like these on LMN. It's a great thriller/mystery/suspense movie. Thrillers are my favorite genres. This is by far the BEST movie that premiered on LMN. I would recommend this movie to everyone who hasn't watched it yet. Everyone would love it. I would give this movie a 10/10 which is an A+ not only because of how great it was, but also because the actors/actresses. Jamie Luner and Ashley Leggat did amazing in this movie and we're really good with the acting. Same with Linden Ashby, he was amazing as well. They played their roles very well and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie again in the future sometime on TV or if it'll be available online to see the full movie. That's my review!

    Another Luner Loser

    Once again we are forced to watch this 46 year old female strut around with this bush of hair on her head. Attempting to be a sex symbol (NOT) and making just about everyone miserable in this loser of a flick. I have never liked this actress. I think she looks ridiculous and desperately needs a haircut and to act her age. In everything she does she looks the same. I, for one, am not a fan as you see. Her looks kill any acting she might do, which is mostly one level. Please, please LMN no more Jamie Luner.

    (2013) The Perfect Boss THRILLER

    Made-for-TV movie from "Lifetime" now available for rental starring Jamie Luner as Jessica Slate who's been transferred from another business to be a CEO of a particular pharmaceutical company. It's a new drug and just when this company brought her in, someone dies from the drug. The next thing you know she sleeps around with some very important executives that could get the drug passed through the FDA. What happens next is routine. Upon looking at this movie as a whole reminded about all of those soap opera shows, since the entire environment is so polished with much of the characters obviously wearing way too much makeup that would've been acceptable in a soap opera environment but too artificial for everyone else's tastes.
