A pleasant surprise,
By
This review is from: Harm's Way (DVD)
I took a chance on this little gem of a movie because I liked the premise and was very pleasantly surprised by it. A woman and her young daughter are running away from an abusive relationship to the house of a very strong and independent woman {Kathleen Quinlan} who furnishes a "safe haven" for others in the same circumstances. The reasons for the woman and her child being on the lam are shown in teasing flashbacks which do not fully tell the story until the very end. The Quinlan character {Bea} lays down strict rules of conduct such as no smoking or drinking and forces everyone to share in the responsibilities of running her farmhouse almost to the point of treating the adult women like children in return for her protection. There are a lot of surprises and shocks along the way towards a very stunning and surprising ending so I will not reveal any more of the plotline. "Harm's Way" is a thoroughly enjoyable place to spend your evening.

A good pot boiler,
By Nathan Christian (Pitcairn, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harm's Way (DVD)
This is another one of those films that is hard to review without giving the plot away. If you watch this, you will probably guess the ending about half way through, but the delivery and pace will keep your interest. You can never go wrong with a Kathleen Quinlan movie!

Horrific Irony,
This review is from: Harm's Way (DVD)
HARM'S WAY is the tale about a mother & her daughter who flee an abusive husband (or at least that's what we're led to believe) & seek refuge in a large country home & goat ranch. i say "seek refuge" not "find" it. If anything, the older woman who owns the place is even worse than the abusive man the woman is running away from. There's a little bit of PSYCHO in the plot (actually quite a bit of PSYCHO.) Kathleen Quinlan is steely dominating in a role that could be over played, but is'nt. Hannah Lochner & Ingrid Kavelaars as the mother & daughter are excellent as well. The mother is revealed as a flawed woman who, although not deserving of punishment by her mate, does set herself up for failure. Ingrid Kavelaars is intelligent & thoughtful (she'd be a great "Alice"!)
The ending is totally unexpected & I'm not about to give it away. Melanie Orr again proves herself to be a very talented director. Highly recommend for rental.
