SnoopyStyle The real estate market is tanking and realtor Lauren Baker (Emily Rose) is struggling. It doesn't help that her writer boyfriend Francois doesn't work. Sean Crawford comes in looking for an agent to sell his family mansion which he co-owns with his sister Rebecca. With her partner Maddie, Lauren is able to sell the coveted Chicago address for cash. Then news of the murder of the real Crawford siblings on the Appalachian Trail arrive. It's a scam and the real Garrett Crawford claims the mansion. The situation for Lauren is dire and even Francois leaves her. This could be a murder mystery but it spends half of the movie exploring the excitement of a real estate deal. It needs to get to the reveal of the scam quicker. It needs to get to the heart of a thriller sooner. Once the investigation starts, Lauren should pair together with Garrett. This plays like a lower level TV thriller. There's no reason why that thug would leave Lauren alive. It's not the worst movie out there but I can't give this a passing grade.

jodib74 This is supposed to be a thriller and the music sounds like something off of a 1980's comedy. This could have been a really good little movie as the story line was ok, but the music totally took away from even taking it seriously. Reminded me of a typical Lifetime movie with a very bad soundtrack.

LtlHippo There were so many dumb characters and moves in this movie. The woman sees Rebecca in the Chinese diner and instead of calling the cops, she chases her down in her car. Then almost dies in an accident. This happened a few times when the cops should have been called. Then the guy found the pool hose in the garage where the grounds keeper died. I can't believe the cops didn't wonder where it came from. They considered it a suicide with hardly an investigation. These women seemed intelligent but made moves that were so darn stupid. Don't they use certified funds these days when closing on real estate deals? At times, I thought I was watching a parody of all the other "dumb women" movies.

g404c Perfect Plan is a well written thriller about a real estate agent, Lauren Baker (played by Emily Rose), who scores a superb listing from a wealthy brother and sister (Lucas Bryant, Cristina Rosato) in an upscale Chicago neighborhood. Lauren expects to earn a huge commission, and the transaction goes off without a hitch. The next morning, she reads the newspaper and is jolted by what she learns. I'll leave it at that because I do not want to give anything away.This is a slick mystery/thriller that occasionally has a subtle neo-noir feel. All of the actors play it nicely and it was worth my time. Perfect Plan premiered on Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) last night.
