I love Holly in anything she does, she has an immense talent that always brings a great depth to whatever she's in. That is sadly the only plus of this movie. The plot is formulaic even for a lifetime movie. It looks as though this is a first time writer, but still the story just skips along, like a rock on water, only giving you exactly what you need, and not very suspenseful at all. From the beginning you know who the bad guy is, his shtick is uninspired, creating fairy tale books of his obsession immediately after meeting. Who wouldn't know where to find this guy? When he leaves a body of work and picture of himself?? Richard Roundtree got stuck with the overused detective with a connection to the case, so it consumes him and leaves his family behind and angry. Plus he only had to look on the internet to find the guy. Not bad for a retired detective. And finally, once again this type of film leaves you wanting the psycho to get a little something more than what he did. You want her to really take charge and take him out (Like we all know Holly can!). But I wont beat it into the ground. It was good to see Holly back, and 5 stars to any film that makes it on TV. They got it made and that's always a victory. I hope Holly gets hold of something that really shows her stuff next time!
