The screamer!

If you want to hear a woman screaming through a movie, this piece of crap is right up your alley! What a piece of goat's tripe! This is a real beauty!

This movie was hilarious. The acting had me cracking up. I agree with the other reviews on Rose I mean she is HORRIBLE. The lady who played Liz was equally as bad. She sounded like she was reading her script line from line and the lifted pitch at the end of every line when she was talking to Katherine annoyed me so badly I had to just laugh it off.

If you've watched any movie ever, you know in the first 30 minutes (maybe sooner) who the culprit is and why. No surprise plot twist nor shocker here. Listen, these movies are out there and they are unavoidable. Just take them as they are and find a way to enjoy them. My method was to shift it to a comedy to help me get through.

Three stars for "creative" effort.

Absolute rubbish

Unbelievably bad acting and the actress who played Rose should definitely think about a new career as she certainly can't act. Diabolical film.

This one really sucks....
nickgodfrey2 March 2021
One of, if not the worst, of these fashionable modern daytime dramas. They seem to be everywhere these days and I'm assuming they must be cheap to make, or why bother?

Usual clapped-out 'mother and daughter don't get along' relationship as the mother is too controlling and the daughter wants her 'freedom' story, which culminates in the daughter going missing.

Nobody believes the mum, least of all the police, and she realises she has to find the daughter on her own.

I'm not a fan of these newer tv dramas as they seem to be similar: generic plots, tired scripts, uninventive camerawork and stale direction. Most of these TV movies are bad but this one seems to stand out from the rest because of its sheer awfulness.

The main problem with this particular effort is the acting. I couldn't find one decent, believable performance with one actress being completely dubbed and the other English actress giving one of the most atrociously wooden performances I've ever seen. She really needs a new career.

The rest is just dross. Kirsty Swanson, never the best of actresses, in the lead isn't much better.

Steer clear of this one. Unless you like watching painfully bad acting......????

What Did I Just Watch !!
carolynocean26 March 2021
Are they serious ? I cannot believe the absolute rubbish that I have just watched. Kristy Swanson cannot act, but she can certainly SHOUT ! It is an insult to anybody's intelligence to expect them to watch this really dreadful stuff. I am actually angry at myself for staying with it, usually when something is so bad, I can see the funny side , but not this time !! This movie should never have made it to the screen, when,, probably ,some decent movies have been shelved, and real talent not given a chance. As you can guess this movie REALLY annoyed me . Please do not watch it, it doesn't deserve any airtime !!

And by the way , what did the title mean?

What Sacrifice ?

Despite the bad reviews I have watched the film
romodomo22 January 2022
They were right, hahaha. Anyway, I had some good laugh at the artificiality of everything there. Kirsty Swansot did not surprise me, but all the other actors were wooden, like the plot.

More genuine drama found at your local Target store

Well this film was some bad soup mixed in with some bad breakfast. Not wanting to throw pervy issues around,but, you would have to be blind if you don't notice the amount of curvy women employed in lead roles- making the Producers a bit suspect as all of those busty entrances were simply bad acting with a capital B. Trump super-fan Kirsten Lea puts in a one-dimensional performance which is what you'd expect from a MAGA moron - but she shines out as others couldn't even manage a half-dimension. This badly-paced, badly-acted and very poorly Directed movie makes a fool of itself every 4 minutes. The comical errors, enhanced by an amateur Director, were amusing. If there were a "Police Advisor" on the crew, then he wasn't listened to. The cast & crew spent a few weeks driving around the rubbish 'burbs of LA and made a rubbish product. Waste.

Agree with all the bad reviews
haroot_azarian24 November 2022
While I agree with all the bad reviews regarding the terrible acting by all the cast, I just want to add a few remarks. Kristy Swanson's only good performance was in the Flowers in the Attic. Instead of getting better as she grew older she just got worse.

And this Josey (daughter) character, what the hell was that stupid accent of hers? Was she trying to act tough? Well it made her look and sound stupid. Samm needs some real acting lessons pronto. And her disrespectfullness was beyond eye-widening. A stupid rebel without a clue. You won't miss much by not watching this one.
