Watch Unstable For Free

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Blistering performances.

***SPOILERS*** Leggy Christine "Chris" March, Ashley Scott, wants to get back as a real-tor and support both herself and 9 year old son Oliver, Max Charles, with her husband Jason, George Newbern, about to be cut loose by her in divorce proceeding after she caught him with his pants down in bed with another woman. Getting handsome former soccer player Nick Reese,Ivan Sergel, to stay in her guest house and keep Oliver company seemed a good idea at first but with somebody stalking her it made it even more important to have a man in the house to protect her and her son.Things get so out of hand that Chris goes to the local police for help from this faceless stalker who at one point tried to run Nick over and succeeded in putting Chris' friend and co-worker Eric, Jay Pickett,in the hospital in a hit and run outside his place of business.***SPOILER*** As the truth soon comes out Nick-the caretaker-is nothing what he seems to be. He's an ex-con who's in fact working with Chris' shyster husband Jason to get her to stop divorce proceeding against him. Nick not being the schmuck that Jason plays him for soon turns the tables on him by, his favorite way of doing someone, in running him down when he refuses to play along with him, in wanting the lion's share of Chris' money, and dumping him-After he murdered Jason- and his car down a cliff to look like an accident.***SPOILERS*** It's later that Chris realizes what a dangerous and unstable person that Nick is who also kills his good friend and employer car mechanic Carl, Scott Anthony Leet, for trying to talk some sense into his thick skull. Now with the jig being up and Nick being exposed as a dangerous and murderous nut case he kidnaps Oliver and holds him hostage until his mom-Chris- empties out her bank account and give him the cash he needs to escape justice. Even here Nick royally screws himself up with Chris getting the jump and gun on him and all his crying and whimpering in making himself look like a total jerk, to get sympathy in showing what a helpless & harmless fool he is , doesn't help him one bit.

There is more than first meets the eye in this Lifetime thriller. There are some well written unexpected twists and turns but it's kept quite believable and not too far fetched. It's exciting and keeps you entertained till the end. It's a bit more complicated than the average lifetime movie.Ashley Scott plays a realtor who is going through a divorce from her unfaithful husband and in order to meet the mortgage takes on a tenant (Ivan Sergei) who is nice to her young son for her guest house. But things aren't that simple.Ashley Scott looks a bit like Cameron Diaz and she is quite watchable. Ivan Sergei has aged and his face looks a bit puffy. Liked the ranch style house it's set in.Worth a watch.

Every scene was boring, predictable and poorly written. I maybe would have enjoyed the storyline if the acting wasn't so over the top and full of clichés. I would not recommend this to anyone, even if there is nothing else on, it was very basic, a teenager could have written it.The classic con men who tricks the leading lady into loving her, puts a camera, blah blah, she finds it, realizes he is bad, he steals the son, and in the end the mum saves the sun. To sum it up, basic, boring and very very bad acting. The music was over-emphasized and rarely matched to content on screen. The only good actor was the little boy. So if your looking for a movie to watch, don't choose this one. I just wasted 2 hours of my life -__-

Is it just something about Lifetime movies that the parents usually are well-off and have big houses? Ahem, anyhow, it's something about Ashley Scott that just makes you like and respect her as an actress and a woman. The movie has recently divorced mother, Christine (Ashley), who is now on shaky terms with her ex-husband, Jason (Ivan). Christine meets Nick Reese (George Newbern) at a park like event and they seem to connect, having similar love lives, as both their exes seemingly cheated on them. Christine soon invites him to live in her guest house, something that angers both her ex husband and one of her male partners (Jay Pickett) at work. Right here is where you see that there is a would-be unnecessary love triangle. It is revealed that Nick is a conman who is hired and was represented by Christine's ex husband the attorney. Jason is hoping to prove Christine an unfit guardian and have full custody turned over to himself. Nick starts to thinking, hey, this may not be right and things take a turn for the worst, leading Nick to run over Eric (which later gives away his persona), take Christine's son hostage, shoot his ex- prison mate and murder Jason. (in no chronological order, of course). I think Lifetime should use the term 'Crime Drama' loosely, as most of the thinking is done for you and they give you a glimpse into Nick's true doings too soon, in my opinion. Also, you would think these people would learn how to hold onto a gun by now.
