Vivendo em Perigo

HOSTILE ADVANCES is a simplistic TV movie from the 1990s that's content to plough the same furrow as many films which have come before it. It tells the true story of a woman who suffered sexual harassment from a work colleague. The problem is that nobody seems bothered enough to help her, so in the end she takes the guy to court. Can she put an end to this nuisance once and for all?

The narrative is kind of a cross between Crichton's DISCLOSURE and the excellent, also-based-on-a-true-story TV movie STALKING LAURA. However, it's nowhere near as interesting as those movies, as it suffers all of the usual problems associated with the TV Movie genre: the acting is understated and uninteresting, the dialogue is overly talky and doesn't really connect with the audience, and there's little interest for the viewer. The courtroom finale is probably the best part, but really there isn't very much going on here at all.
