This typical LMN plot has been done over and over again. Same theme, same unexpected psycho killer befriending our hero or heroine, same predictable outcome and same "yea" ending. The difference here is the casting of Josie Davis and Sebastian Spence in leading roles. I like these actors very much and they bring mediocre dialogue to believable performances. However, the remaining actors don't do much to add to the excitement. Davis and Spence are acting alone here. Too bad. Still the story keeps you interested and you can't wait for the villain to get the ax.I give this one several stars for performances by Davis and Spence, two very fine actors. I also like Marc Menard.

A deranged woman escapes from her apparent mental hospital and runs away in slow motion. Quickly, she stabs the bed where another woman is screaming, and buries her victim. Seventy-two hours earlier, wealthy blonde lawyer Josie Davis (as Heather Williams) wins an important court case and receives a promotion at her law firm. While out celebrating with her ethnically-cast friend, the beautiful Ms. Davis meets handsome blond investigator Marc Menard (as Jack Riley). They are mutually attracted. An oilier version of Mr. Menard appears and tries to get Davis' attention. He's her obsessive ex-boyfriend Sebastian Spence (as Ray Johnson)...As if that wasn't enough to take the wind out of Davis' sails, she gets into a fender-bender with the woman from the opening minutes, psycho killer Caroline Cave (as Vanessa Miller)..."Accidental Obsession" aka "Hit & Run" is incredibly predictable, but attractively cast and presented. Many of these unhinged psycho TV movies like to open with a attention grabbing teaser. The attention is heightened, but there is certainly no surprise when Ms. Cave makes her appearance. We know something is up, anyway, but a little more mystery would have been welcome. Toby Gorman's flexible photography and David Findlay's smooth score help keep the senses satisfied. Davis and Cave are fine in their roles and manage to be engaging despite the story staying rather routine. This one never really goes off the rails, which would have been fun.**** Accidental Obsession (2015-06-08) George Erschbamer ~ Josie Davis, Caroline Cave, Marc Menard, Sebastian Spence

Still again Lifetime films shows their never ending theme of someone entering someone else's life and causing absolute havoc. Still again we have a gem of a picture here.You always have to discover what relationship existed unknown to the woman until film's end that would cause such mayhem.A highly successful lawyer meets with a traffic accident and the other party soon enters her life and causes havoc at each turn, with the results of murder, mayhem and a career literally put on hold as she has to focus her attention on what is occurring.The sick woman will stop at nothing to gain her objective. It is utter insanity all the way and the film handles it quite well.

I like Josie Davis' latest string of Lifetime movies. This one was good. A "hot shot" lawyer, hot off a big case and on the verge of a promotion gets into a minor traffic accident. The woman who rear-ends her gloms onto her relentlessly to befriend the lawyer. We are flash-backed to the woman being in a mental hospital, seeing the lawyer on television touting her recent winning case which put a notorious criminal behind bars. The crazy woman who escaped the mental hospital is the one who assumed a new identity and has befriended the lawyer woman. One thing to add to continuity- how does a woman who escaped a mental hospital (with no help), and no shown job (source of income), afford an apartment. It might have been wise to show this. Decent, well-acted, nice paced Lifetime movie. I'd suggest it to watch. Not too intense, but good ending as well.
