A Nurse to Die For (2023 TV Movie)
4/10
Boring AF
15 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The plot of this movie was as thin as a paper napkin. Boring from beginning to end and it dragged on for too long. No need to add useless filler scenes that don't do anything to the story. The filler parts made up like 80% of this movie while the other 20% was what actually kept the plot going. I feel like this is starting to become the new norm for Lifetime movies which is to make most of the movie consist of unnecessary scenes that add nothing, while the viewers just sit there and waiting for something interesting to happen but then nothing does! But I guess quantity matters more to them than anything.

And yet they call these movies "thrillers". You are hardly even thrilled. *eye-roll*

There was little to no character development, the acting by everyone was mediocre at best. And there was not much screen time for Caryn Richman's character. When I first saw the trailer I thought she was going to play the lead role but it was actually the widowed husband Liam, which was kinda odd considering that 95% of Lifetime movies have a female lead while the male is either the secondary character or a side character. I don't think I've seen an LMN flick with a male lead since Deadly Ex (2016).

I usually enjoy watching Allison McAtee in Lifetime movies, but her character was completely unbelievable in this. We find out halfway that Victoria was the other woman that got in the car crash that killed her family, and also claimed the life of the main protagonist's wife. But then why would she be so obsessed with wanting to start a family with the people that killed your husband and daughter? It would make more sense if she wanted to terrorize Liam's life since he and his wife took away the one thing that made her happy. MAJOR plothole there!

Why on earth would Beverly drink the sedative laced tea (I forgot what it was called) and then complain about not feeling well afterwards and going to the doctors?? Any sane person who was suspicious would take the tea leaves and then send it to a lab to get it tested. Instead she just takes the tea and drinks it in order to find out if it was poisoned. Stupid stupid stupid! Also the film failed to explain how Beverly and Victoria knew each other. Beverly asks if she's met Victoria before, and then Victoria says one of Lifetime's most overused lines: "oh I probably have one of those faces". And then it's not bought up again.

And when will the writers and producers of these films finally realize that they are other last names that exist other than Miller, Jones, Johnson, Davis, Wilson, Thompson, and Smith? It's really getting old and repetitive and it shows that they lack originality. At this point they are maybe around 20 Johnson's 30 Miller's and 35 Jones's, all of which are probably big enough to fill up a backyard sized swimming pool.

Please skip this movie for your time's sake it is not worth watching!
