Living with the Enemy

Living with the Enemy

I love this film and have watched it several times. I adore the romance between Philip and Allison and wished we'd seen more of that part. Philip was a charmer and Mark Humphrey was sexy as hell so I hunted out more of his films. The mystery involving the big corporation and the murders was intriguing as well. BUT the character of Allison just got more and more annoying as she had absolutely no trust for her husband and was not thinking straight. I know she hadn't known him long, but, she knew and loved him well enough to marry him and yet dismissed any belief in him immediately. Poor Philip never really changed character from the time we met him and - apart from arranging that first meeting - never did anything suspicious and yet she thought he was a murderer and she never even apologised. He even warned her to "trust me and not the lies others tell you" and yet she trusted every stranger except him. Having said that, I loved this film and would have loved to see a sequel

I could tell, within the first five minutes of this slop, that this was a Canadian drama.Cheap, lazy, stupid premise, crappy actors. That's what you get when government pays movie makers.

I was pleasantly pleased with the ending. I just saw this movie yesterday, and was going to turn it off, but changed my mind. It was not at all the direction I thought the story would end on. Thats about all positive I can say about this film. All of the actors are nobodys, especially the lead. While she is an attractive young woman, she'll never make it big. The writing, direction, and acting are wooded, sort of like what you would see on daytime soaps. The filming locations were very clever in making you think it could be anywhere, instead of blatantly tipping off it was in Canada. As this was shot entirely in Canada, I'm assuming the entire lot was Canadien, which is not entirely bad as some recent Canadien TV productions: "Cold Squad", "Stone; Underover" are quite well done.

I saw this on Lifetime television, this was actually pretty good! Sarah Lancaster (wow, is she hot or what?), plays Allison, a simple girl who gets swept off her feet by the very rich Phillip Lauder. The more she finds out about him, the less perfect he seems. Sarah was really good here, the scene of her in that little cap giving candy to Phillips chief security guy just had me at hello. I thought this was a good love story, cause they fell so quick and got married and then it seemed like nothing was for real. The plot twits keep you guessing, but not in the dark, and they actually remember things about their characters! Wow, somebody actually cared about making a good movie! The bad guys are cool, note Morgan Kelly, from TV's Falcon Beach, as the young thug. While this seems obvious at times, it all makes sense in the final reel and Lancaster is just so nice to look it. Worth your time for a fun evening mystery.

Turned it off when the FBI agent told her she would be charged as an accomplice for the murder if she didn't help them. She didn't even know the victim or the husband. And you can't be forced to testify against your husband. Stupid story line.

Quite a good TV movie that kept my interest throughout. There are good main characters and some of the supporting actors were also great. The story was very good and although I guessed the ending it was still executed well.

Yes, dumb is the word for this actress. I know many have mentioned her beauty, but this viewer found her empty headed and boring to watch with her bleached hair, lip gloss, and not so perfect body. Watch her walk away in those jeans, showing a rather large butt. Her butt spreads beyond her shoulders. What does that tell you? As for the leading man, played by gorgeous Mark Humphrey, he was perfectly cast. A charmer. However, he and Lancaster just didn't match. She was out of place opposite this good looking guy. Good acting by Susan Glover as the sister. Angela Galuppo had a small role and was okay. But the film's director Philippe Gagnon, wasted too much footage on Lancaster. After a while you got tired of looking at her and watching her dull acting ability. And what a bitch of a wife she was. Snooping on her husband, being obnoxious to him and just a plain spoiled brat. Was happy to see her hit with the dart gun. I thought it might be the end of her. But alas, the script tells us otherwise. After torturing myself and watching this loser again, I still came up with the same criticism. Lancaster is boring to watch. This time around her hair, folks. Her hair constantly in her face, constantly tossing it back, became annoying. I question the writer, Alexandra Komisaruk's reason why a good looking wealthy man like Philippe would even bother with the likes of a bimbo like Allison. When there were so many attractive intelligent women, with class, to choose. He picks this nothing. Is this the Rochester/Jane Eyre thing? Oh well, it's all a matter of taste, I guess. This Sarah Lancaster is not my cup of tea, folks.

Loved the movie, however would like to know why there are 4 different versions. I personally liked the 3rd version where Allison in the end did not look so completely distrusting, especially as Philip owned up to never having killed anyone. Also would have liked to see a reconciliation scene where the two of them allow their feelings to show for one another. Riding off in the sunlight was nice, but come on, think about it! After all that has happened to both of them don't you think a little more should have been offered. I would also have liked seeing Tanya packing and leaving. I noticed that this movie is not yet so sale through the 'Lifetime" network. Is it because out of the 4 versions, one has not yet be confirmed?
