Pretend You Don't See Her (2002) | Full Movie | Mary Higgins Clark | Emma Samms | Hannes Jaenicke

[@MissAlmostFine]

This movie is really entertaining, but how is she in witness protection and didn’t even bother to change her appearance?? Seems like a huge oversight

[@zaraarif3270]

That’s my thought as well

[@mikekrazoun289]

minor detail, it is in the movies

[@rollergirl55]

Agreed. I guess that’s why it’s a fictional movie. That was the first thing that crossed my mind. I sure would have changed my appearance. And I would never have told my sister where I was or even given her a hint. How could knowing my location make her feel more at ease? As if that would help keep me safe. I guess creators of these stories should talk to murder mystery fans. We usually see all the flaws and what is not believable in these stories.

[@oriana7026]

Really enjoyed this movie from start to finish. Seemed a bit unrealistic though when she went into witness protection with new identity but same appearance.

[@gailfisher1350]

My first thoughts exactly. It's a big hole even though it makes for extra tension. She could have worn a wig, or died her hair, chosen a different hairstyle, put on eyeglasses, changed her makeup.

[@RiaLake]

@@gailfisher1350 Why would she want to kill her hair and not dye it?! 😜

[@wendyelsey7765]

Just what I thought she looked exactly the same.

[@seer1623]

Just like who would leave a window unlocked if they know there's a hit out on them? Silly. At least let the dude have some legally questionable tools that can pick locks or open windows. MHC always strains credulity. But her stories are so wholesome I can't resist the escape. She's one step up from Nancy Drew 🤣

[@leslieg4554]

@@seer1623 it's nice to see someone else thought about Nancy Drew! My Mom would have liked Mary Higgins Clark as well. When I was in middle school my Mom had me check out all of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boy's. We watched the movie's together. Having 3 other siblings I treasured any 1 on 1 time with my Mom, (and each sibling). Mom and I loved a good suspense, mystery type shows, movie's. They challenge the mind!

[@vlm5723]

"You're not doing such a good job protecting me, so far!" ---- That was a ridiculous comment, considering SHE was 100% responsible for being found by the professional assassin.

[@a.mariedixon-jenkins]

Yes, she and her silly sister. After she tells her sister approximately where she is, why did the sister buy a newspaper. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

[@semoneg2826]

Just killings and murder and shooting a child, 😂😅😅😅😅😅

[@irenestrmnss4331]

Refreshing 😅

[@jenplinguist]

The cops bring her to her sister's home to "hide out"?! Was that really the idea? They should know that a person hell bent on killing someone can be quite resourceful...

[@leslieg4554]

I felt the same way. Otherwise it was a good movie.

[@charlotteclark2207]

If a killer is watching your every move, why are you going over your families house. Now they're in danger.

[@gypsyblack5994]

That's what I thought!

[@spark_6710]

I know . But , whether she visits ,or not ,they would had been in danger anyway !! 🎬💜🥁🐉🎤💞

[@happy010111]

Stupid Lacy. Brought dangers to family.

[@pratibhakarkera2547]

My thoughts exactly

[@vlm5723]

I love these movies, but somehow I still get irritated at the STUPID mistakes the characters make that obviously would jeopardize them and their family. Telling her sister the "hint" was really dumb.

[@a.mariedixon-jenkins]

Blame the script writers. They are not thinking it through or they think the viewers are stupid.

[@whatsinaname3561]

Sad that we are not all perfect. But I agree. Whoever put her in witness protection did a rubbish job of it

[@sacha1259]

Constant panic leaves you to make unwise choices. I know this first hand.

[@sacha1259]

Bring stalked by someone who wants you gone leaves you making skewed choices. I know I did.

[@PlatinumIrishrose]

It's a movie. Not real life. Blame the script writers. 😊

[@ofelialopez3724]

i love Mary Higgins Clark Books and collected all her books , but so doubly thrilled to watch them ...

[@jamesselby796]

I just wonder how true to the novel, is the script. Like many comments below, why didn't she change her hair color? Seems hard to believe that the author overlooked that detail.

[@gypsyblack5994]

I didn't read the book. If you did can you tell me if she changed her hair color? If she did, then that was the author. The producer of the movie would be to blame for her not changing hair color. The producer.....not the author of the book!

[@adrianewilliams2697]

The movie leaves out a lot of details and characters. The book gives so much energy and depth. The movie feels so rushed.

[@lynnc766]

Movie is definitely rushed. Book is better.

[@laineciccotti9748]

Emma Samms is one terrific actress, goodness we all from my 4th grade Lunch, run to Jane’s, Diane’s Sally’s, Donna’s etc etc for lunch & General Hospital, she & Robert???? They enticed us every day…we made “Tuna Fish & Pickle” & to the TV’s…gorgeous, believable, sincere & off she went to be a Star…But then life happens & the World lost a fantastic connection to telling The Story…She was adored & daily!

[@ARook-bt8do]

26 minutes in & I'm disappointed... Having watched 'Before I say Goodbye' just before this - ? - THAT was a great movie!

[@mickygriffiths4139]

I can't believe she goes to visit her sister knowing she is in danger. Putting her family in danger.

[@lauriewu-jf5nh]

The police (?) never would have brought her there in real life. I also couldn’t believe she entered and walked around her apartment when it had been ransacked. Most people would stop at the door and immediately run to a neighbor or something to call for help in case the intruder(s) were still inside. I love Mary Higgins Clarks books but, like many suspense writers, she tended to put her characters in unrealistic situations.

[@gypsyblack5994]

Does anybody else find her annoying? With her near constant whining about her being taken away from everything she knows. Well, lady..... if you're killed, you WILL BE TAKEN FROM EVERYTHING YOU KNOW! I know it's just a movie, but whiney characters are intolerable!

[@Arabzene]

Yes, it was terribly annoying! As if she was the only person in the world to whom a terrible thing happened. People often have their lives changed in a blink of an eye, terrible car accident, cancer diagnosis, tornado destroying their homes, etc. Very selfish!

[@irenestrmnss4331]

She is not so sympathetic. Or so smart.

[@a.mariedixon-jenkins]

@@Arabzene Had she and her broker not been greedy for a sale she would not have been in such a mess. And she still didn't get the sale.

[@carolinehargreaves5789]

Great film! But yes she was t very good at hiding and this guy always found a door or window open!

[@janblackman6204]

One thing that bothers me is the child eating alone watching the tv. I guess I grew up in a home where we all sat down together.

[@shirley8155]

Thanks for that, enoyable and entertaining without being grusome!

[@mariahmunnis6315]

Puh-leeze. In witness protection and no change of hair color or other changes in appearance?! Didn't read the book, but the protagonist acted foolishly risking the lives of many people. Then, she tells her sister where near where she has been relocated! And she was the "Queen" of real estate?! You'd expect smarter! 🤔

[@sandrasatterfield4432]

If my daughter had been shot... I'd be freaking out!!! Mother was just too calm. Witness protection and still looks the same... Oh please...😳 The main actress reminds me a little bit of Linda Carter

[@traceysaunders4711]

Main actress was Emma Samms - former dynasty actress who played Fallon Colby

[@irenestrmnss4331]

Yes !!!!! Exactly

[@FranLu-qs2xv]

And General Hospital in my day :)

[@sheriward6132]

Reminded me of Kari Lake

[@mellisagreen7801]

Is it not said that if you come home to find your house trashed get out fast because the intruder might still be inside.

I expected a hair colour change too. After all, she had been on the tv news.

Her sister gave the killers a clue on where she is by bringing the Minneapolis newspaper with her in that restaurant.

[@soniavadnjal7553]

Yes, silly woman.

[@sheristewart3940]

Which also means that someone connected to the restaurant saw the newspaper, knew that the lady with the newspaper was the sister of the lady in witness protection and then told the assassin which meant . . .

The neighbours got home ,remember ?? He had already been seen by the main character ,Lacy, the real estate lady ,he couldn't risk it to add two more !! And professional hit men hardly ever kill others than the original target & stay real clean on the records / reputations ,that's the difference between real pros & amateur killers .If he'd stayed longer to finish 'em all off ,that meant more time & more witnesses by chance !!

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Still watching but in 18:00 the killer did not see the person who got in the apartment so how could he be so sure it was the real estate agent? She closed the door right after him and he’s had a no chance to see her face. Was it like that in the book? Mary was a master in handling story-building. I’m sure there was some kind of mistake. Movies along with poorly-written scripts really destroy the beauty of a work. Artists tried to build emotion through the scenes but editing failed to deliver the emotion probably due to timing p, low-budget and poor camera angles and frames. They had to squeeze the entire book in a 90-minute motion picture. Still a great devoted Editor would have succeeded in delivering that essential frame to the audience even if had 15 minutes to turn a book into a film. Yet, I’ll continue watching. One thing though, and this is not film-making related… I believe the police would want to take a look in that bag the agent carried with her. She was at the murder scene first.. she is considered a prime suspect. Forensics would have even taken a sample of the dust under her shoes, checked for any flesh under her finger nails in case the Coroner confirmed there was a struggle plus traces of gun powder. Ruling out does not happen easy as she was supposed to be covered when she was allowed to be dismissed. How can a detective speak of a protection plan yet let her go out just like that in the face of tens of hungry lenses and journalists? Besides, the detective should have said the popular phrase “Lady, is there somebody you could stay with? You should not be alone or go back to your residence.”. A-ha! See what happened? They checked her apartment and God.. she should’ve run right away. The intruders could still be in there. As for the angry detective… some cases involve the police so she should have told him that she could not trust nobody at the time. Jimmy could be involved too. I met a guy once who run a high seat in the police force.. believe me or not.. he was dirty. I had to gently pull myself away from his life. You do not know what these guys are capable of. Your situation against his false claims if he put you in his mind would be so weak and inescapable. It could cost you lots.. maybe even life.. just like what happened to Chantal’s daughter.

[@gushutchinson8758]

Judging by the comments the plot holes have holes... Which is just what I'm looking for!!! ! Sometimes only an utterly unconvincing storyline will suffice... Let's hope the acting is both wooden and cheesey... I'm wanting cloying, Crass, trite, and glib... I want mawkish sentimental piano music that leads my emotions, plenty of stereotypes, cops that say whaddawegard,, kids in hospital beds that explain the plot, ideally a token wise old black character.. A bad dad would be excellent, use of violins and letter reading to skip back in time... Etc etc etc...The last thing we need ior deserve is great storytelling, A riveting, original plot, a genius director, beautiful camerawork, a talented sympathetic cast with believable acting... No thanks... No time for that malarkey.. Endless made for TV movies from the 80s. Is our pleasure...
