Intenciones asesinas

I was very interested to see this because I had seen "Deadly Intentions" and I wanted to see how the story ended...what happened when the new wife inevitably found out that her new hubby really was a maniac.

Except for the fact that I did find out I was very disappointed in this one. Maybe if I hadn't seen the first one, I wouldn't have been.

The character of Sally only appeared briefly in "Deadly Intentions", during Charles Raynor's trial, but she was quiet and seemed very classy. She was portrayed in the second movie as a Southern stereotype...bad accent, and kind of tacky. This is no reflection on Joanna Kerns, who is a good actress. It was more the way the character was written this time around.

Harry Hamlin is a fine actor but he just couldn't pull off Charles Raynor like Michael Biehn. It's difficult to explain the difference...Hamlin came off as evil, which Raynor was, of course. But he couldn't quite give me that feeling that he was totally "unhinged" like Biehn did. Hamliln's Raynor made me think "Yuck"...Biehn's literally made my skin crawl!
