GENRE: Drama, Thriller
GRADE: C+
Although most made-for-TV movies suck, this one definitely rose above the standards. Though, it certainly couldn't stand up to in-theatre films today, it would be one of the decent ones that come out once in a blue moon.
The film's about a man who seems to live a perfect life: top of his class Medical Student, engaged to a beautiful, wealthy girl and very charming overall. However, he's really a sex-addict with a gambling problem who ends up robbing prostitutes, and eventually killing one - meanwhile, all is unbeknown to everyone in his everyday life.
The movie stars some big names, mostly Jake McDorman and Kevin Kilner, but all actors do well with whatever they can with the script. The dialogue isn't that strong, but it compels the motives clear enough. For a Lifetime film, it's one of the strongest, but it still lacks the pop that movies need to make it to the big screen.
