Reviews
This film isn't necessarily bad, but it's not that good. The acting is just passable, the story is very bland, and the whole flow this film is overly predictable. The premise is good, however. The actors and actresses in this film did alright. They seemed pretty believable for the most part, but a few of them just didn't seem to give it their all, and came off as somewhat boring. The story, while it's premise is good, is very bland. The story itself is pretty good for the most part. However, it seems very predictable and kind of aimless. Other than all that, I was impressed with Lifetime with this film, considering some other films from Lifetime, Hallmark, Freeform, etc., are mostly garbage in my opinion. But this film was good enough for me to think this film was better than most from Lifetime, Hallmark, Freeform, etc. I don't think I can really recommend this to anyone, as there are better films than this, but I'm sure that most people who like films from Lifetime would enjoy this film, probably more than others they have seen on that Channel.
This is a mostly failed attempt at producing a biographic movie out of the real-life story of a woman whose identity was stolen and went through a difficult time to clear her name.It had a good story line to cling on, exploring a theme that is not overused in drama or thriller movies. However, the overall quality of production and editing is awful. Acting is not as awful, but whatever qualities the cast had were canceled by the extremely predictable scene and lines. Character building is non-existent, it appears they took every single one from a menu of pre-packaged profiles.In the end, the whole movie looks like it was an overambitious Public Service Announcement.
Poor handled material about a real story concerning a young woman (Williams) who has all her data and her identity too stole by an ambitious and ill minded secretary (Sciorra). The movie goes on and on, never offering any climax moments or interesting facts, until the constrained ending when informations about the facts and the persons involved are given like a policial report.The story of this movie has potential, indeed. Nowdays, one of the big problems in commerce activity is the real possibility of one has all his or hers personal information (name, number of social security, ID or credit card)used by stealers and modern pirates in a series of crimes.Unfortunately, 'Identity Theft' never hits the bull eye. In my opinion, I think this movie was made almost with an amateur touch, like a second grade production. I give this one a 3 (three).
I loved this movie because, if it had been the reverse(one man stealing another man's identity), I don't think, you would see the emotional anxiety, a victim of identity theft, goes through!!! Sure women are more emotional but, I think, that was an advantage because, it enables illustration of, the pain, regardless of sex, what an identity theft victim goes through...the pain, the anguish, having to constantly prove, you are who, you say you. I am sorry if women find this offensive. I feel that women, are far more honest with, both, themselves and, others when it comes to expressing pain, regardless of what type.Christopher
