This movie kept me on my feet, I really didn't guess what was going on. I've seen a lot of Ivan's movies and he is always so good, as he is here. Obviously the leading lady always falls for the con just as the con knows she will. That's no different from any other movie though. There are some predictable moments in the movie, you see it coming a mile away. The movie was so good that I really didn't mind overlooking the clichéd scenes. The acting from some of the characters could use a little help, but with all that said this is still an enjoyable suspense filled movie that I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. A good Saturday night thriller.

This is the kind of thriller that is reasonably entertaining and afterwards immediately forgotten. The premise may not be very original (a combination of a jealous ex-husband and a psychopathic killer-disguised-as-a-heartthrob) but interesting enough, the story has some nice twists, and the acting of the main characters is fine, especially by beautiful Ashley Scott. There's however something lackluster about it, it's all a bit too polished and in spite of the thriller-aspects it lacks urgency.

What doesn't help are some improbabilities. Like what prudent single living mother would invite a total stranger to live on her premise on account of a 5 minutes talk! Or the all-too-obvious camera placed in a book exactly in front of her bed. Or the somewhat clumsy way the final show-down went about.

I would say: a Hallmark version of a not too bad but unremarkable thriller.

There is more than first meets the eye in this Lifetime thriller. There are some well written unexpected twists and turns but it's kept quite believable and not too far fetched. It's exciting and keeps you entertained till the end. It's a bit more complicated than the average lifetime movie.

Ashley Scott plays a realtor who is going through a divorce from her unfaithful husband and in order to meet the mortgage takes on a tenant (Ivan Sergei) who is nice to her young son for her guest house. But things aren't that simple.

Ashley Scott looks a bit like Cameron Diaz and she is quite watchable. Ivan Sergei has aged and his face looks a bit puffy. Liked the ranch style house it's set in.

Worth a watch.
