Time Served (1999 TV Movie)
Only one good thing about the film
26 May 2002
The bottom line is that this movie could have been something good if it weren't for the poor acting of the two main stars, Catherine Oxenberg and Jeff Fahey. The movie also could have used a better script, and better motivations for its characters. I would just completely write the movie off as craptacular if it wasn't for the character Rosie Lopez. (played by Lourdes Colon) I was watching this trash on cable late at night out of boredom, when suddenly I grew interested in Lourdes Colon and Rosie Lopez. I would dare say that the only good acting in the movie came out of Lourdes Colon's performance. I thought she was real, believeable, and I found myself caring about her character. That is what I mean about lack of motivation in this movie. Rosie kills a seamstress and that's the last you see of her? I fealt a little ripped off despite the fact that I watched it on Showtime. You never do find out what happens to her character, although I wish you did. Who is this Lourdes? Has she done anything else? If not then Hollywood needs to hurry up and discover her, because here is a great talent in this movie with dried up hacks. I am an instant fan of lourdes' and I hope someone else can tell me of some of the other movies I might see her in. people, mark my words, you will be watching the Oscars soon and this unknown talent will be giving her acceptance speech. I find her acting convincing, and I'm not even going to discuss how beautiful she is. I think that J-Lo has competition now. I hope that Lourdes is still acting, and that this bad movie hasn't deterred her from it. Over all the movie isn't even worth watching, save this one talented actress.
