Elopement is a thriller about a a young(ish) couple with home troubles who decide to elope for a better life but things don't go to plan. Or do they?.
It's a TV Movie and therefore you shouldn't expect too much. The smallish budget does show in some pretty poor plane scenes. The plot whilst starting fairly credibly veers dramatically to the outlandish as it reaches it's climax. There are some plot issues that really do defy any creditable explanation and which spoil the film for me. This is a shame as if the writers had just reigned in the plot a little this could have been a decent film.
The acting is nothing much to shout about though not dreadful. It does feature Ian Ziering as the older brother who I immediately recognised from the hit 1990's TV series Beverley Hills 90210.
Elopement is nothing special and won't live long in the memory. It is a reasonably entertaining film at times but is let down by the overcooked plot. Maybe worth watching as a time filler.
