Angels Fall (2007)

Recovering from a nervous breakdown after being the only survivor in a mass shooting in Boston, a traumatized woman (Heather Locklear) drfits across the country for over a year until settling down in a small town in Wyoming. But it seems murder won't leave her alone ... or is she having another breakdown? Based on the novel by Nora Roberts and directed by Ralph Hemecker. Originally shown on Lifetime, one doesn't expect much if anything at all. So, it comes as a surprise how entertaining this was. Oh, it's pulp for sure but like a quick read on a lazy afternoon in a lawn chair, it serves its purpose. The film throws suspicion on a character very early in the film but they make it so obvious that you know it just has to be a red herring. Indeed, there are only two other possible suspects and I picked the right one. Still, the nervous breakdown scenario is played uncomfortably what with Locklear's mental problems currently making headlines. A lightweight murder mystery that I wouldn't seek out but if it comes across you way you could do worse. With Johnathon Schaech Gary Hudson, Derek Hamilton and Linda Darlow.
