Fresh and Exciting
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Three bimbos on the loose without a brain between them run away from a hit and run and the rest is downhill, story wise, acting wise, directing wise and definitely interest wise.It's total trash and performances that match. Renee Extevez as the ugly one being the worst of the three. She is not attractive and who suggested to put her in a bathing suit? Not good. The phony tears didn't impress this viewer. Lisanne Falk as the vacant one just gets on your nerves from day one with all her whimpering and sobbing and you want her to jump. I kept yelling at the screen "jump" "jump". Carrie Mitchum, the foolish one, just walks around in a daze and talk about looks giving you away. She seemed to be saying guilty in every scene. The way she just stared at her TV boss in a blank expression, I'd have fired her on the spot as being a dull and uninspiring news person.Peter O'Fallon directed this trite movie. Oh, I did like the guy who got hit. Good stunt work, fella. Who ever you are as you don't get credit. I won't even mention the writers as they aren't good.A car wreck of a flick. Sorry.
Very good as far as TV movies go, actors put in a good performance to allow some depth to their characters, interesting plot all making an interesting viewing experience. The three girls develop the "teens face awful dilemma" line, when on a spring break they run down a stranger after a drunken party. Expedient decisions are made with the moral dilemmas and inevitable consequential mistakes forming the basis for the rest of the film.
3 girls hit a man on a dark road, they don't know what to do, thier scared because they had been drinking so they hide the body and drive away. The movie shows how each of them deal with what they did and eventually the body is found and one girl who is a new reporter has to report on the story and she begins to slightly give away she knows something, and the 3 begin to get scared and trying to deal. Its a very good portrayal, its got a good but sad ending, they eventually turn on each other and it ends with the truth coming out and the movie shows what they do when people find out and 1 does the right thing but winds up hurting everyone by doing the right thing, its a very good sad movie.
This well-acted TV movie really surprised me. I expected a typical "spring-break" pseudo-horror film, but was drawn into a psychological tale of conscience fighting fear. Three young, attractive co-eds are vacationing before college graduation when something horrific happens to them; the mitigating circumstances cause them to make disastrous moral and ethical choices. Mitchum and Estevez (granddaughter of Robert and daughter of Martin Sheen, respectively) are fine but Falk shines as the most conflicted and least culpaple of the protagonists. The minuses: A tv movie is a tv movie is a tv movie- well, you get the picture. Again, all the more to my surprise that this picture acquitted itself nicely, despite the low budget and lack of name stars. The Corkymeter says 3 and a half stars (out of 5).
