Flirting with Danger (2006)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Thanks for the memories!

Expected more

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

the only sin in this case is the great expectations. because more than a crime, it is a kind of cocktail. sex, murders, love, hesitations, a story who has not sense but who looking for it after hot scenes? a film who use each classic ingredient of genre in a pretty game who not gives nothing interesting. only beauty of actors, vulnerability of a hansom guy, the maleficent woman. game of clichés and stereotypes, it is nice if you ignore the mistakes or consider it only a joke. James Thomas does a decent job and that is the best thing to say about the movie. because it is only one from many, many easy films who remains the perfect choice in a Saturday evening.

****SPOILERS**** With hot shot lawyer Rafe Marino, James Thomas, getting the shocking news that his best friend Tommy Heaton, Marc Poirier, suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack at age 34 while relaxing in his jacuzzi he decides to see if there was any foul play involved. It's at Tommy's funeral that Rafe meets rich and pretty businesswoman Laura Clifford,Charisma Carpenter, who was Tommy's girlfriend at the time of his death. Right away Rafe forgets why he was there, to pay his last respects to his friend Tommy, and falls heads over heels for Laura. It's later that Rafe find out that Laura's other two boyfriends before Tommy died, by dropping dead in a jacuzzi, the some way Tommy did!Getting help for an old high school flame of his Det.Gloria Moretti, Victoria Sanchez, Rafe starts to have the police lab test Tommy's body to see if anything he ate or drank before the fatal dip in his jacuzzi had anything to do with his death. That as well as for Laura's other two lovers who met the same fate, sudden death of a heart attack, as he did. While doing that Rafe gets a number of fax's threatening him if he keeps on probing in what caused Tommy's death as well as weird phone calls, left on his answering machine, from some crazy woman with a distinct southern accent telling him to lay off his investigation of Tommy's death or else!***SPOILERS*** Rafe who wasn't going to go away from trying to find Tommy's killer soon became a target of the killer himself who planned to do him in this time in the shower, since he didn't have a jacuzzi, the first chance he or she got. With Rafe totally incapacitated, from the lotion he was handed to use by the killer, Det. Gloria Moretti busted into the hot shower and prevented the by now unconscious Rafe from getting iced! As we as well as Rafe & Gloria found out the killer had a problem with rejection that stemmed from his or her childhood. That hang up or problem he carried well into his adulthood by refusing to get help, in a local mental institution, to have it cured.

It's more than just a rainy day's fun. The plot's tight, the characters look good, the locales are excellent and there's more. Carpenter's 'talents' have been totally wasted however. Victoria Sanchez looks very credible in her role as a longtime friend. James Thomas as the male lead does a good job. The key thing for me was that as a murder mystery, every other scene did not have blood and gore. That part was handled elegantly, I thought. As a relationship drama, the dialogs were well written and rather credible. The steamy scenes were probably designed to be a grade schooler's delight, I guess. It's much better than a typical Lifetime flick.

Excellent job. Flirting With Danger stars the sexy James Thomas as Rafe, a man who's best friend just died of a heart attack. He meets beautiful Laura (Charisma Carpenter) at his friend's funeral and they become involved. All seems fine until Rafe notices that other people, mainly men, are dying in the same way his friend did. There are just too many coincidences and now he suspects foul play. There are many suspects in this one and most of them appear to be connected to an interior design firm. Rafe and his life-long cop friend Gloria (Victoria Sanchez) investigate and Rafe finds himself threatened.The climax is very good. Flirting With Danger is better than many TV movies I have seen lately. James Thomas is the star here, and Charisma Carpenter and most of the actors were benevolent. Something I noticed about this movie was virtually all of the cast was very beautiful. Many of the characters were very sexy and sensual. You can tell this movie had a decent budget and the producers made the most of it. Very glamorous characters dress in designer clothes, drive luxury convertibles and all live in luxurious homes. This is a fun movie with a good plot. 10/10
