Crappy film
Absolutely Fantastic
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Handsome, wealthy and well-built Cameron Mathison (as Bryant Meyers) is having problems meeting women. Yes, you read that correctly. Amicably divorced, Mr. Mathison lives in Philadelphia and shares custody of his ten-year-old daughter with ex-wife Cynthia Preston (as Virginia). None of that really explains why Mathison must turn to online dating; possibly, he likes to fantasize. On his laptop, Mathison meets attractive Sydney Penny (as Georgia). Although she lives in Los Angeles, they begin an online relationship. Their first physical meeting goes extraordinarily well. They end up satisfied, under the sheets. Marriage quickly follows, but Ms. Penny reveals a jealous side...This is one of several "Lifetime" TV movies portraying the dangers of meeting people online...Written by Christine Conradt and directed by Curtis Crawford, it follows familiar territory and is competently made. Neatly trimmed Mathison and pouting Penny are nicely matched. She gives an occasional crazy edge to her saner scenes and he adds an adult immaturity to aid in accepting his character. Little Emily Burley (as Megan) may be developmentally delayed, which is a nice touch. There is good support, especially from Krista Bridges (as Zenya Ivanski). She and director Crawford let us know much about "Zenya" while spilling cocktails with Mathison. Crawford keeps the camera steady and gives us great shots of table and counter tops. However, the ending is tacky.***** The Wife He Met Online (4/21/12) Curtis Crawford ~ Sydney Penny, Cameron Mathison, Cynthia Preston, Krista Bridges
"Cinema is the ultimate pervert art, it doesn't give you what you desire-- it tells you how to desire" -Slavoj Ziezek Crawford's attempt at a post-modern pre-neo-industrial post-structural meta-narrative works to critique the ever overarching sentiments of twenty first century nihilism in a post-captitalistic state. We meet our protagonist, Bryant, as he navigates an existential angst of the hegemonically constructed socialistic norms of love, lust and didactic sexuality. This film is a great look into society as a whole and works as a great narrative to discuss mental health issues. From the way the entire plot is carried out seamlessly to the more technical aspects of the filmography, this film is absolutely fantastic. Crawford's use of camera angles and the low-key lighting gives it a classic film noire feel that matches Carol Reed's The Third Man. Then the plot... oh my God... it is incredible, there was not a single moment in the entire film where I was not holding my breath and not on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this film that is bound to be a neo-classic. Lifetime films has truly outdone themselves this time.
Look I can't give it a one star (or less rating) because I haven't finished but I watched most of it and couldn't finish it. This is very unusual for me because I almost always finish movies but this one had no thrill or mystery it was just annoying to me honestly. The main female actress does a great job acting all psycho and annoying. I don't know maybe other people could disagree with me but I just didn't like it at all. The little girl was an awful young actress. I am not trying to be harsh or mean but she just didn't act well. I must admit that I was surprised with a few details that I won't mention so I wont spoil the movie for you if you are planning to watch it but these little details were not crucial in the movie as the story develops. Over all the movie isn't really that bad but it is not the type of movie that I like. I like suspense and thrill and this one just didn't have it that much. Instead it fits drama more.
I would have rated this film even more if it were not for the cop-out ending where this horror would befall some other guy.A meeting via the internet and 2 or 3 meetings joins a divorced guy from Philadelphia with a woman from Los Angeles. Love supposedly blossoms and the two are married very fast.The story evolves around the woman's insanity. Obsessed with the idea that all men invariably cheat on her, her obsession leads to violence and ultimate murder. She was definitely insecure with a mentally sick mother from childhood.I found it amazing that the guy who fell in was such a nice guy. It's hard to believe that he was unable to resolve his marital difficulties with his first wife. Guess, you just never know.
