Peta Wilson in TV B-movie

Randy Ackers is happily married to Dianne (Peta Wilson) and living comfortably. He expects easy money from a safe short-term investment, but it's a scam. He loses it all and commits suicide. Dianne leaves California to start anew. Her car breaks down in a small Texas town and she takes a local waitressing job. One day, the con-man shows up at her diner, but he doesn't recognize her with her new hairdo.

I can buy that he doesn't recognize her, but everything else is way too convenient. The cop needs to be hotter and he has a good twist. I like capers but nothing here is that great. I never got into Peta Wilson although she is a hot lady. The smoky voice gets it done. This is nothing more than TV B-material.

Money wise

No pun intended - because actually not so wise ... when it comes to money they are. Not Yoda I am - just worked out that way, when I started writing the sentence. Sorry I reckon - a little bit at least. Well that is more sorry than the main villain is here - for misshandling the money of our main characters, which leads to all sorts of ... well mayhem, let's call it mayhem.

And something that starts off the journey of Peta Wilsons character. And as coincidence will have it .. she lands somewhere where she can redeem herself ... or find some peace with things that have happened. Well that doesn't sound right either - because it is about resolving things, about putting an end to something that started - without her knowledge.

It is a decent thriller, that is more than predictable though ... still if you like the genre, you might find something you like here .. predictable (twists) included ...

OK, but Peta Wilson...

This movie had an OK story line and many of the actors were good though not great. I see everyone raving about Peta Wilson and I don't get it. I've never even heard of her before and I'm a big movie buff. Her acting was mediocre at best but it was hard to concentrate on it because of her voice. She tries too hard to sound sexy but she just sounds like an old smoker whispering. Not a fan of hers.
