raisleygordon Richard Thomas gives a terrific performance in the kind of movie we've seen millions of times, even as true stories. You could call it "cat-and-mouse", but considering the words "cat" and "mouse", that term is probably putting it mildly, especially when you're referring to the last act of the film. It may be predictable, but the movie gets the job done and done effectively. And the killing spree isn't too violent to the point where it would lose any momentum or meaning. It's also amazing this guy actually never attempted to romance her anyway. If he isn't afraid to stalk her, then it's a wonder why he never does anything physical (other than shooting, that is) to her.

wrudd Richard Thomas is so good in this part it's scary. The first time I saw this I thought, he can't be that good an actor, he must be a maniac in real life. He does a very effective job, playing a techno geek who becomes obsessed with a coworker. He takes it from being just an annoying pest through the stalker stage, into the full blown maniac stage. Even when he is walking around with a shot gun he is very believable. No Rambo type violence, just a seemingly normal person who happens to be treating life like a video game. It is disturbing and you ask yourself, what would you tell your daughter or friend to do in that type of situation. All the legal avenues seem to make it worse. There are no easy answers. It definitely made me want to look into the case this is based on. Thomas was expected to carry the movie and he did. Brooke Shields was perhaps at her best in this part, but the whole movie hinges on if you buy into Thomas as the stalker and it does it quite well!

shanfloyd This reality-inspired TV thriller was never meant to be too suspenseful. Still the story was carrying itself on the shoulders of Richard Thomas. In several places he did pull off nice earnest expressions. Brooke Shields looks gorgeous but her acting is rather too flat. All the other actors were quite awful, I must say.The story got obstructed once the mass murder started. I found the whole situation rather boring and even hilarious the way the filmmakers portrayed it. All the killer-police conversations and that thing about sandwiches got me just tired. The overall screenplay was not entirely impressive. Sorry, I can't rate it more.

Taran-4 This movie was fun to watch because I get to see Brooke Shields. I didn't know it was her till later but I loved the movie even then. I don't think Brooke Shields' acting was bad. She just had to play the role of the victimized women. She did seem kind of cold though. In real life, she should have given the guy a chance. Go out just one date. But then, Richard was extreme in his actions. He should just find another girl. So I don't think he really loved her. He was just obsessed. But don't analyze everything too much. Just watch it. :)
