This is why men shouldn't write female stories. That glowing review above sounds like it was written by a friend of the actor. No one watching this would think it's worthy of viewing unless it's in an ironic "so bad it's good\funny" way. It came on my TV and I was like what happened to Mena that she ended up doing terrible made for TV movies like this? She's not a terrible actor but this makes her seem like she is.

Not your typical stalker mystery this was actually full of surprises. I thought going into it, it was obvious who the stalker was but I am glad for the twist.It's true that violence and abuse can go both ways regardless of gender and I am glad the movie portrayed that.

Amelia Davis (Mena Suvari) writes a newspaper column called Ask Amelia advising her female readers to stand up against their abusers. She starts a blog and is befriended by Jenny Reardon who wrote to her and escaped from an abusive relationship. A year later, she gains some success and is being courted to sell. She is approached by the dashing Carlo Rossi. Detective Hank Wilson tells her that her abusive ex-husband Darryl Devine just got paroled. She is attacked by a mystery masked man.This is a TV movie that runs like a Lifetime movie. The flow is a little clunky but the story is generally fine although not that original. There is a good mystery with good twists. The production is straight forward TV. Suvari is the only truly compelling actor in the cast. It's a middling affair that I can't quite recommend.

This is a generous two because I appreciate that they were trying to bring awareness and a sense of survival to domestic abuse and because the sex scene is hot. Otherwise I found the acting bad, the plot a little hard to believe, dialog cheesy and characterization eye roll worthy. The best friend is the bad guy. There was no hint of that whatsoever and for a twist her motives were not a hundred percent clear. Her husband threw a lamp at her so technically she did kill him in self defense. It was nice that they portrayed the fact that women do abuse men but it should have been done better. But is was a TV movie so it is my fault for expecting more.
