Review of Unstable

Unstable (2009 TV Movie)
7/10
Actually A Well Done Movie If You Keep Your Expectations Realistic
11 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
For those who said they "knew" what was going to happen, and that this film was "predictable," you really aren't saying much. Put it this way, whenever a plot line asks : "Is she really crazy or being sabotaged," common sense tells you there would be no movie if Shiri Appleby was just "Unstable" and that was it. Truthfully, the villains managed to conceal their plot until very deeply into the movie,and that's why I enjoyed it.Lifetime Network basically gives you two hours, so only with rare excepted productions is the plot line NOT going to have predictable elements. It's a meme that human beings tend to write things where GOOD wins out over EVIL. So if you're not expecting too much from a 2 hour film, then you can sit back and enjoy what's going on. I think David Alpay's performance was nice and right up to the edge of what was going to be "allowed" within the limitations of a GOOD vs. EVIL scenario. I was kind of mixed up towards the end because even though it was likely Appleby's character was going to re-appear, why did it look like her family was grieving? I remembered the micro camera and saw how the step daughter was being recorded unaware, but that little part tripped me up a little. Nice film overall, though.
