Saving Emily (TV Movie 2004). 1h 37m | TV-14

“This is a typical made-for-TV movie, so holding it to the standards of some major studio production is hardly appropriate. Itu0026#39;s not quite as predictable as some reviewers say, although the ending can be seen from a long way off. But the plot keeps the action moving nicely. Michael Riley makes a very good villain–not some menacing, snarling, sadistic uber-villain but a just a typical small-time crook, totally self-centred and certain heu0026#39;s a much cooler person than everyone else who lives in the u0026quot;squareu0026quot; world. Little Annie Boivaird can be very charming with her heart-melting smile; giving her a little larger part in the film would have been a good idea. Because Alexandra Paul is in front of the camera for most of the film, she should have been rounded out as a character more so we could see her as something more than just the worried mother. You donu0026#39;t want to go out and buy this on DVD, but if it comes up on television, and you have nothing else to do, itu0026#39;s better than a lot else thatu0026#39;s on.”
