Final Jeopardy (1985 TV Movie)
6/10
Not as bad as some reviews suggest.

Having read some devastatingly bad reviews of this film, I began to wonder whether my interpretation of it might be correct. I have often had dreams in which I have been in a strange place and was trying to return home. Not quite as dramatic as in this movie, but phones don't work, people don't respond to me or give me the wrong information, buses stop in the middle of nowhere, nothing goes right, everything is weird and I feel helpless and lost. I felt throughout this whole film that it was intended to be such a dream (or rather a nightmare) sequence, and lo and behold, when daylight comes, everything is back to normal - which is just how you feel when you wake up from such a dream. If you see it like that, and not as a believable portrayal of something that might actually happen, it should fare better on the points scale. Only thing was I thought that the character of Susan was too happy-go-lucky in the face of so many dangerous situations. She was always like 'Oh, I'm OK', even when being pursued by a gang of thugs or wandering aimlessly through the sewers, always looking as pretty as a picture, with not a hair out of place. The film certainly managed to keep my attention long enough to watch it all in one sitting, which is unusual for me!
