Despite the title of this movie, Dominic does not reveal has "psychopathic" tendencies until closer to the end of the movie. Unlike many other Lifetime movies, I was hardly at the edge of my seat, wondering in which direction the movie was going to go. At the beginning of the movie, Dominic is not overly obsessive and his actions, for the most part, are within normal parameters.
1. Husband and wife, Tom and Justine respectively, seem to engage in better dialogue when they are arguing with one another. Tom often appears to be distant and it seems as if he was doing everything in his power to avoid Justine. For example, he often makes the choice to sleep in his office and occasionally comes across as not caring. He surreptitiously swallows pills in his office as he proceeds with his day. Their dialogue in the kitchen at the beginning of the movie seems awkward and it seems as if they feel uncomfortable one another. When Tom comes home late to find that Justice has prepared dinner for him, things seem to be quite tense. The couple comes across as constantly being annoyed with one another.
2. Justine seems to communicate better with Dominic than she can with Tom. As is usual with most Lifetime movies, boundaries are quickly crossed. Dominic stands extremely too close to Justine when he comes to her house to teach her yoga. At both Justine's house and at the yoga studio, the characters stand so close to one another that it is uncomfortable. It lacks authenticity because he touches her entirely too much and Justine never questions this, especially when Dominic touches her face. It might be as a result of the fact that Justine feels neglected by Tom, but most people would feel that Dominic's actions are going a bit too far and boundaries are being crossed.
3. Justine is a middle school teacher. In many scenes in the movie, Tom states that he has to work to maintain their home and lifestyle. There is a scene in which these two characters discuss this issue in Tom's office. Justine's contemplations about becoming a yoga instructor seem to be an implausible idea. One should at least learn something properly before embarking upon that course of action.
4. There is a scene between Justine and Dominic in which Justine raises the fact that her husband "works." The way in which the point is discussed is just very odd and it is as if the concept of working is only something that a few people manage to accomplish. At times, the dialogue does not seem authentic.
5. Dominic's initial speech about a "sprig" was annoying as opposed to insightful. The subsequent references to Justine being a "sprig" just felt unnecessary.
6. When Justine finds out about a woman leaving a voice message on Tom's phone are far too contrived. The person is saved in Tom's phone as "S" when most people would choose to enter the proper name of the person or the company.
7. The couple wants to adopt a child and this seems to be a source of tension between the couple. It makes for an interesting subplot and Tom never seems to be that engaged with the idea.
The movie is entertaining, but some of the dialogue is a bit annoying.
