Dying to Be Loved (2016)

Sadly Over-hyped

hyped garbage

Fantastic!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Terrible script, terrible actors/actresses & a waste of time.. Only watched this because there was nothing on TV so I settled for this disaster.. Not sure why anyone would decide to air this with terrible acting & script; the only decent actor in this terrible movie was Jedidah Goodacre..

First off there's a lot that doesn't meet with real life in this one. The boy with a record wouldn't have been allowed to work as a security guard anywhere. The policeman brother would have not been allowed to do anything on the case because it involved a family member. The boy would have been locked up in jail for the murder charges. The mother should have filed a complaint against the policeman brother with his commanding officer. The policeman brother would be under investigation by internal affairs and possibly suspended from duty. The movie would have a more believable plot!! I can think of more, but mainly I'm sitting here thinking about fast forwarding to the end. By the way, I do like Lindsay Hartley so started it because she's in it!!

***SPOILERS*** They were young and in love but not all there in the head especially the girl Emily Yates, Paloma Kwiatkowski, as they decided to take a lovers leap off the bridge and end it all as we see at the start of the film. Why did these two young persons Gary Smith, Jedidiah Goodacre, and his 16 year old girlfriend Emily with everything to live for do themselves in at such a young age? The reason is simple in that because all they had to look forward to in life was for was a long stretch behind bars in a road rage murder and assisted murder conviction waiting for them back home in court! It's Emily's mom Jill Yates, Lindsay Hartley who refuses to accept her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend Gary's death and since the bodies were never recovered Jill feels that they faked their suicides and planned to start a new lives together somewhere in the "Sky Country" of Montana as husband & wife raising and selling cattle to the public! As Jill soon finds out she was half right in her assumptions. With the help of private investigator Al Jennings, Jay Brazeau, Jill finds out that it was bad boy Gary who not only planned the whole thing but is holding Emily hostage by keeping her comatose and off her meds to get Jill not to only put out for him, Gary has this thing about older women, but pay him some 25 grand as ransom.***SPOILERS*** With her wimpy and scared of his own shadow but well built, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, 6 foot 4 inch 230 pound live in boyfriend Connor, Dan Payne, not willing to do anything but leave it to the out of touch local police who by now dropped the case. Jill goes on her own to save her daughter Emily risking both her and her daughters lives whom Gary and his brother a member of the police department Ritchie, James Pizzinato, are planning to murder if she doesn't come through with their demands. Gary despite being a 1st class mountain man gets himself together with his brother Ritchie lost in the woods trying to track down Jill and her daughter Emily who escaped from his confinement and trying to get back to civilization. Being a poor shot Gary guns down Ritchie, who looks nothing like the two women he's chasing, by mistake and then finishes him off to keep Ritchie from spending the rest of his life, when he's caught, behind bars with every convict there looking to get a piece, in Ritchie being an ex-policeman, of him. As for Gary he ends up like he started at the beginning of the movie in trying to fake his death by falling off a cliff to his death, after Jill whacked him, and this time cracking his skull on the rocks below!

A lot of plot twists in this absorbing Lifetime film. An emotionally unbalanced teenager suffering from depression finds a boyfriend who is even more off-the-wall than she is.Her mother, an attorney, is living with a guy who she hopes to wed shortly.Gary, the girl's boyfriend, reacts to a road rage incident by shooting to death the guy in the other car and he is convicted of murder. How he was allowed to stay out of jail until sentencing was the one major flaw to me in this engrossing film.Gary and his depressed girlfriend supposedly jump off a bridge to their deaths, but her mother, the attorney, has her doubts and hires a private investigator to pursue the matter. The results are more than what anyone bargained for. Gary's brother is a police officer but turns out to be up to his neck in this engrossing thriller.Connor, the mother's boyfriend didn't exactly do the greatest of acting here.
