Dévorée par l'ambition

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.

This is not a bad film. But I have given it a low rating because it is yet another of these Canadian conceived, Canadian produced, Canadian shot, Canadian tax funded movies that cravenly ARE SET IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!! It is demeaning, embarrassing, frustrating and self- defeating. It is one thing when American companies come up here to shoot their own movies. But it is INFURIATING when Canadian film makers do not have THE GUTS to set their stories in Canada. They and the government justify it by claiming that it creates work for Canadian actors and film makers and that it is necessary if a film is to be sold in the US. NONSENSE! The Australians seem to turn out some pretty good product that is set in Australia. In this case, Ottawa was used as a set for a sort of ill defined New York City with American cops, American license plates, the American FDA and that surefire giveaway: American flags all over the place. Why didn't these billious wimps have enough self confidence to set their story in Toronto where there is indeed a sizeable pharmaceutical industry. (The story is about FDA approval of a dangerous new prescription medicine.)

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.

Loved this MysterySuspense movie. Good script/actors. Beautiful scenes. I like guessing location & year movie made. Got it right! (Watch it & try to work those out!) Modern/fashionable. Ok. Concept seen before but beautifully presented & very entertaining. Credible. (especially for a free midday movie!!) Can't believe the low rating on this site. Are the raters all disgruntled directors, actors, scriptwriters editors or film crew employees who all got knocked back after applying?? ; )

Highly recommend it for entertainment. Well done Reel One!!! 10 STARS.

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.
