It is always a sad task to review a film that could have been good because it had good writing, but was not properly executed by the director and the actors. Dangerous Methods is one of those unfortunate films. The storyline is very interesting, but the actors deliver their lines in an unconvincing manner, and the director does nothing to fix that problem. The poor acting may be due to inexperience on the part of most of the cast, or it may be partially due to poor directing. Regardless, the end result is unsatisfying and not believable. At least the writers of this tale have a bright future in the film industy.

What I've learned from all the LIFETIME movies released over the past two years is that writers/producers can have excellent movie ideas, but a poor way of executing it. This one is no exception.

Basically the plot centers around this young woman named Lacey who's offered a job to live in isolation with a "method actor". This had so much potential to be good, but they hardly even tried with the story.

All the positive reviews here were obviously written by the people who've worked on the film, to make it look like a good, recommendable movie. This is a common tactic among filmmakers, and it's so despicable. Basically tricking the people reading the reviews into thinking it's a great movie, only to be utterly disappointed at the unfinished, sloppy ending. The producers of The (Virgin) Sinners (2021) and You Can Never Go Home Again (2022), also did this. Also if you visit the reviewer's profile, you can see that they've written a review for a movie produced and directed by the same people. So they couldn't have made it more obvious.

I like watching Nicky Whelan on LMN. It's a shame her character is literally only in the beginning and end of the movie. She makes a brief appearance at the start, and then we don't see her again until the hospital scene.

The ending left me with a lot of questions. Lacy stabs Desmond with a knife and then the police shoot her. Next scene is her in a hospital room in a coma while Sharon sits by her side. A bottle of pills are found, and it is revealed shortly afterwards that Desmond had schizophrenia and was on medication for it. Sharon then says I'm sorry to a comatose Lacy as she walks away from the hospital room. Really?? That was it?? I've seen a lot of other Lifetime movies with disappointing endings but this one takes the cake!

One last note: I'm not really an animal person, but I really hate it when the bad guy kills the protagonists pets. Even if it doesn't make a difference to the story!

My title describes both the movie and Lacy. She stuck around and stuck around, screwed the guy twice, passed up opportunities to get out. Strange how the cop and her dad happened to both show up at night. Too many coincidences and you have to have a total out of body experience to believe that an actor could "immerse" himself so much that he actually becomes someone else and doesn't remember anything when he gets "unimmersed." The luckiest character we saw was the cat....he didn't have to suffer through the whole thing.
