I stumbled upon the 2020 Lifetime thriller "The Realtor" (aka "Ruthless Realtor") by random chance here in 2022. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, nor even heard about for that matter, then of course I opted to sit down and watch it.

And I will say that for a Lifetime movie, then "The Realtor", from directors Devon Downs and Kenny Gage, was actually surprisingly enjoyable and entertaining. I enjoyed the storyline, because it was interesting from the very beginning, and I liked how the storyline unfolded and painted the realtor Meg Atkins (played by Christie Burson) in a fairly bad light.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and I have to say that I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list here. Actress Christie Burson really stood out on the screen here in this movie with her portrayal as the somewhat aloof realtor Meg Atkins. The movie also have some good performances from Lily Anne Harrison (playing Annie Savage), Brian Ames (playing Ralph Savage) and Alexandra Peters (playing Lynette Dee). But this movie was made all the more enjoyable by the acting performance of Christie Burson, no doubt about it.

I was genuinely entertained by this 2020 thriller, and the storyline was good and had a fair enough twist to it, which I enjoyed.

If you enjoy thrillers, then you should perhaps give "The Realtor" a chance, provided you get the chance to watch it.

My rating of "The Realtor" lands on a six out of ten stars.

This lifetime movie was excellent and highly recommended!! The film opens with a man (weber) being attacked and beaten to death in his home by a masked intruder. Then it shifts to a young married couple (lily anne harrison and Brian Ames) being strangely convinced by a realtor (christie burson) into buying a beautiful home out in the country. She swindles another young buyer (alexandra peters) out of loosing the house who then warns the couple about their realtors strange behavior and dark past. Also that she may be responsible for the disappearances of another couple who lived in that house. Meg, the realtor begins wedging herself into their lives where they discover that she may be unhinged, but is she really the wicked killer who is murdering people who move into that house. This movie was actually pretty creepy, especially when they show the rotting bodies that are in the walls of that house. I'm shocked that they didn't premier this movie in October instead. Definitely glad I gave this one a shot, definitely did not disappoint!!

This review has spoilers. Don't you love psycho surprises? The movie flowed along fairly well. And for once the leading man didn't irritate me. Neither did most of the other principals. The cinematography was well done. And the directing seemed descent too. Although I thought the parking garage scene was rather lame. A few miscellaneous things: The photo in the developer would not have spoiled that fast when the door opened. Especially when the basement was pretty dark to begin with. She's in jail. They act like she's in prison. There's a difference. Oh. She escaped? Oh wow! I found it amusing that the cops texts to his wife were just that. To "wife". Leaving his wife outside after the cop incident was stupid. Nice twist although predictable. The ending fight scene was mediocre at best. But the final scene with the handsome single man was stupid and unnecessary. It seemed like the movie had a certain time period to be produced, and time ran short, so the ending scenes were rushed. But despite all my critical complaints about Lifetime movies, they are entertaining and I watch them. Geez.
