7/10
the ultimate seductive female

Warning: Spoilers
First off, I'd like to talk about the real subject here, which is Lisa Rohn and the movie portraying this incident. Let's face it, this movie has nothing to do with Micheal J Fox's relationship with his actress wife, and I'm quite sure that he couldn't care less about what shallow people have to say about them. I certainly don't. As far as Tracy Pollan is concerned, she was just doing an acting job.

In the reality of things, people going through broken relationships tend do to things that may not always make sense, even to themselves when they look back on things. Paulson was in an extremely vulnerable state, while Rohn lavished him ritually with unrestrained sex, keeping him obsessed and the money coming her way. Though, finally seeing things about Rhon he didn't like, he continued to see those things about her that attracted him. Let's not pretend to have never been there, and that he's just being an idiot. People's personalities are not black and white, and love is not easily cast to the winds. If that were true, there would be no abusers and victims in the real world, and that movie would have seemed a whole lot more exciting.

To those of you who tend to think Lisa Rohn a good and caring mother, she certainly didn't think about the best interests of her child in leading the lifestyle she did. Certainly her intelligence level was quite high, to process all the identities she'd made at her disposal. All the documents were professionally cut and pasted and stored away in alphabetical order. It's a shame she didn't put all that IQ to better use. Make no mistake about Lisa Rohn. Though petite and pretty, she was a well practiced, cold and calculating personality, devious to the end to obtain her needs.

I agree the movie was a bit on the slow side, but there wasn't much embellishment done to add to the excitement.

Yes, this is a true story, and the movie portrays most of the facts pretty much as they happened very well. Oh, and she actually did fire that last shot, just as in the movie. Pretty stupid to think she could actually get away with that one.

Her court records should be open for research, if you wish, since they are public record, though I dare say, unless you have a novelist's flair for drama, they will probably be pretty slow and boring reading.

Though this did become a yawner, I had to give credit where credit is due, for its factualism.
