Saw this at a sneak preview when it first came out in 1984. It is still a great watch today in 2024. Proud of all the performers in this. Was the first flick for Corey Haim, RIP. Was expecting Collet to have a big career after this. I'm just glad that he still performs and seems to be doing okay. This was the first time I saw Robert Downey Jr. On screen. Boy did he go through a lot after this and throughout the 80's, so great he overcame that and has his awesome career today. I'm sorry that I'm blathering because they require a whole lot of characters to leave a review. Hopefully Teri Garr is being taken care of.

So if you're in the mood for an airplane disaster flick or a shark catastrophe flick, this one will satisfy all that but it is at least a cut above what you're expecting. There's some character development, and they're put through lots of tension, and the ones left in the end, had to have balls of steel to do what they had to do to survive. I'm not saying it's genius, but if you like this genre, its better than you're expecting. No big stars, but you've got Colm Meany, and an Attenborough descendant.

There, almost got 600 characters but not quite so I have to keep writing. So, how was your day today?

They had sizzling' chemistry. It was well cast, and the romance was written better than your typical rom-com. So I recommend watching. I need to add more words here or it won't let me submit, watch this film for easy enjoyment. Their temptation for each other was sizzling' hot.

Since when does a common Lifetime type movie need to be two hours? Would be so easy to tighten it up. Thank goodness for the fast forward button. I need to get 150 more characters in here. So what up? Extra long padded Hallmark movie here. Good thing it was free.

Well I was about to write that it's not as bad as these reviews. Bruce Willis forgot his acting ability. He does the strangest line readings, the Jaime King character who seems to be playing a smart woman but does some really stupid things. The guy playing the corrupt sheriff wanna be, well, his performance was bad like he was doing a parody and in a different movie. In the ending scene the writers seem to think that police dispatchers can be promoted to patrol suddenly for being a good person. Without going through the applicant process, testing, background checks and completing the academy. But yet still, I don't think it was quite as bad as most of these reviews. 4/10.

Okay, so I gotta rewatch some of the ending of Season 2 to remember what happened? Really?

This film does not seem like a comedy, but then they start talking, and this is some of the funniest dialogue I've heard in a horror film in a long time. There is a silly and very bloody thriller going on that will keep you on your toes, but it's the wit that makes this one worth watching.

It was just as charming as the original. Jaden brought the personality and humor even as a bullied teen, just like Macchio in the original, but Jaden has the better acting skills. The other aspects are similar, the lessons at first so tedious, til they weren't, learning the self discipline with it and the cultural aspects. Chan was great, the girl adorable, with their friendship more innocent due to the younger age. Then the very satisfying ending. Bravo! Held up for me ten years later.

Each episode introduces a story, tells the beginning of it, then introduces another story, then another, then another, and we're supposed to keep up with all of them. What a dumb format. When you care about the happenings of one story, then that's cut out for another, and several stories later they go back to the first one, you no longer care.

I think this was ultimately a Christian movie without being preachy, so have at it.

I felt it was a decent watch for a thriller. Yes there was an I am woman hear me roar message, but it's not as though there are too many thrillers with that message. There is actually hardly any, so it's ok with me. A lot of reviewers here can't get over that it's not a third remake of Black Christmas with the same plot and same villian. They should try hard to get over it. Then again, perhaps it could've been given a different title so as not to piss of these kids.

At about 11 mins into the movie, when at the student bookstore/cafe, Molly suddenly started yelling repeatedly that the studious young black guy had a gun in his backpack because she wanted to empty out the place, not caring that he could likely get shot up by the cops, I had to turn off the movie on principle. What stupid writing. From these other reviews sounds like I didnt miss anything.

The movie starts with a bunch of women in a boat in trouble. Why not start with how they came to be that way. We're not invested in who they are or what they're trying to do.

Dang it's taking forever for the second season to start airing

This was a close look at the case of the murdered Andrew Bagby, and then a look his parents in the aftermath, and his baby son. But I happened to be used to true crime writers who also take a measured look at the murderer's life. Shirley was certainly an emotionally disturbed individual, but in this story we don't find out anything about her beginnings, or any attempt to look at what may have lead to her becoming this way. I surmise this is because this story is presented by a person who was a dear part of Andrew's life, and he, of course, came to detest Shirley Turner and was not interested in a humanizing look at her. I can understand this. This is not the story I would get from an objective true crime journalist or writer. This is just a look at the family, and it is well done for that. I have not read the victim's father's book, Dance With the Devil, and I would suspect that to be full of wonderful detail about Andrew and Zachary, and the Canadian authorities huge failures here, which make me angry, but also no insight into the very disturbed Shirley Turner or her other potential victims. So for a more full understanding of the case, I can research it on the net. However, this documentary was very moving for what it was.

So we're supposed to believe a giggolo could make a living with female clients? He would starve to death. We all know he would be having male clients.

This is a drama, not a thriller. It's a very decent watch. Only nitpicky item: Mischa Barton apparently had a hairdresser and colorist when she was in prison.

This was a cool, heartfelt story you wont regret watching
