Watch Haven't We Met Before? For Free

Pretty Good

One of my all time favorites.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Apparently Sonny Grosso bought the rights to all of these Mary Higgins Clark novels. Was her agent afraid they wouldn't get another offer? Sonny produced some wonderful series from Canada in the '80s, but the boring filming of these stories leaves a lot to be desired. All the money seems to go for the female star, and that's it. He certainly doesn't splurge for top writers or directors.As a result, even though the stories themselves are intriguing, the end result of these films is always the same: slow and so what."Haven't We Met Before?" is one of the better Higgins Clark stories and could have been developed in a richer way. In this one, a man (Page Fletcher) believes the people he killed wronged him in a past life. He is caught while trying to murder Kate (Nicolette Sheridan), whom he believes was Emily in a past life, who killed her husband and let him be hanged for it.This story should have been riveting. It wasn't. It did, however, keep me interested due to the plot. And as usual, I sort of figured it out. Why? Because there's something about the way these stories are set up where there's a subtle giveaway. I can't figure out what it is, I don't know if it's the way the scenes are directed or what, but I always know.Again, because of Mary Higgins Clark and not anything else, I like watching these filmed novels. Maybe it's a sense of comfort that I know what I'm going to get. Bad pacing, okay acting from Canadian actors I've never seen before, a pretty and familiar star, a good story, and Sonny Grosso's trademark suspense music.

I know many people were disappointed with this film. It is, however, my personal favorite. I loved the way the story leads one way and then suddenly goes takes a new turn. I have read most of Mary Higgins Clark's books and seen many of the movies based on the books. This one and All Around the Town are still my favorite. I was saddened to read what the last comment said because I know that they didn't get the same enjoyment I did. Haven't We Met Before is a movie I could watch over and over and never tire of. I also think they picked great actors for it. I would give this movie an 11 if I could! The last commenter stated that, "The flashbacks within the film are too flimsy and boring! In fact, the movie is terribly boring!" That was one of my favorite parts!!! My first time seeing it I was a little confused by them, but they really add to the hypnosis scenes. Many of my friends have seen and love this movie as well. I have never seen a Mary Higgins Clark movie I did not thoroughly enjoy, nor read a book by her that I didn't love to read over and over! This movie is no exception and is my second favorite of them all!

I usually like Mary Higgins Clark and the movies that are made based on her novels, however, this one really leaves a lot to be desired. I liked all of the major stars like Nicolette Sheridan, Page Fletcher and Anthony Lempke, but the way this movie was filmed was really awful. There isn't really very much suspense even though this film definitely screams for suspense! The flashbacks within the film are too flimsy and boring! In fact, the movie is terribly boring! I feel sorry for Nicolette Sheridan because she proved what a wonderful actress she truly is on the TV Soap "Knots Landing". I think it is a shame that a person with such talent is constantly cast in roles that don't offer her the ability to use her wonderful talent of acting! I'd pass on this one if I were you!

I watched this movie last night on PAX for two reasons: I like Nicolette Sheridan, and I wanted to see a Mary Higgins Clark book-based movie.However, I was disappointed w/the movie. There were lots of flashbacks to the previous lives of the Stephen Koenig character, played by Page Fletcher, and the Emily Winton character, played by Nicolette Sheridan. However, these flashbacks just made it confusing and hard to follow the flow of the movie.I liked the chemistry between Emily and Detective Jack Cobel, played by Anthony Lemke. I had never seen Mr. Lemke in a movie before, and he was very appealing. However, they never developed their relationship, cutting off their scenes before anything happened between them.I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, but this movie just didn't work for me.
