    Awful acting

    Chris Klein worse actor ever! I can act better than that! Awful!

    An Insult to the (sane) Viewer

    Crazy people might think this ridiculous plot of revenge is great but it sucks from the near beginning, after the girl goes nutty when he's trying to fix the sink, and he gets no red flag message!! So he happily drives around in her alleged dad's BMW, and accepts a Rolex watch from her, and gets everything the idiot deserves.

    Being derivative the film makes no attempt to create genuinely believable acts of life sabotage. Instead it relies on a pathetic, weak, incredibly stupid teacher at the receiving end of implausible mishief.

    Stupid Teacher Award Winner

    Still youngish-looking high school teacher Chris Klein (as Sam Luck) has a nice suburban home. Also the possible co-owner of a diner with his best pal, Mr. Klein is happily married to sweet, understanding and attractive Tasya Teles (as Kate). Klein's luck changes quickly when seductive Merritt Patterson (as Taran Hathaway) moves into a house across the street. The mature-looking teenager begins putting the moves on Klein. She has black-and-white flashbacks to some trauma involving her mother (apparently) and a sexual companion (apparently). Incredibly, Ms. Patterson turns out to be one of Klein's high school students. Naturally, you think Klein won't easily risk his job and beautiful wife to engage with the nutty woman. Think again. Neither does anyone involved with the production do anything to make their "Damaged" assignment remotely believable, or even fun.

    Excellent teacher!

    That this movie has a 5.3 rating out of ten, is a big mystery to me, and not in a positive way. The first 15 minutes are really impossible and painful hell!!

    A cheap American film with a very cliché and predictable theme, not to mention the bad acting, terrible at least!

    It is all about the ssstupid teacher!

    On several occasions making women as if we were stupid, as in this case the wife of the main role, the actor Chris Klein. How low can you fall?

    Instead of communicating with her husband, she starts her own investigation, like those women who pay a detective to spy on their husband.

    Don't you have dignity? Or you don't know how to talk to your partner if you have problems?

    In order to judge it I had to hit the forward until the end, and I hoped it would improve, but no, not at all.

    I don't understand that someone who likes movies and cinema has been able to see this completely.

    I imagine that most of the positive reviews are from millennials, or students at American Universities...otherwise I can not understand how someone could like this.

    Give it 1 star for the little twist at the end.

    Hands down best Lifetime Movie I have ever seen

    For a Lifetime Movie, this score is really a ten. We all know they are our guilty British Colombian pleasure and not of the highest cinematic quality. Secondly, let me tell you have seen a few dozen lifetime movies with my wife (yes I am a man), I can say without reservation this is the BEST one I have seen. I am not the biggest Chris Klein fan, but he was pretty decent in it. I told my wife what I thought would make the best ending to the movie about an our and a half into it and boy did they read my mind without any spoilers, you should definitely check it out. I guess the Renaissance of TV is truly here. Thank you Netflix (HOC), HBO (GOT), Showtime (HL/RD/HoL), Starz (TM/S*), AMC (TWD/BB/HOW), and BBC (DW/Cu/) for raising the ante on what passes for good TV. As they say, and in this instance applicable while simultaneously veracious (while normally malapropos), A rising tide lifts all boats! (JFK)akin to Reagan "trickle down" fallacy. What an odd juxtaposition JFK and RR, different sides of the same coin I suppose? There is no Republican, there is no Democrat, there is no matter, there is no dark matter, ONLY GRAY MATTER. Think for yourselves people !

    • Trivia
      Females in jeopardy: With about 32 minutes remaining, Kate having entered Taran's home while she was away is surprised by Taran when she returns and hides behind a door. After she comes out from behind the door, she is killed by Taran with a hammer. With about 5 minutes remaining, Sam threatens Taran with her gun. He is killed by the police officers Taran had called.
    • Goofs
      Kate finds a quit claim deed listing Taran Hathaway as the CEO of Sam Luck Property Management. This was impossible due to a couple of factors. A high school student could not legally enter a contract, and it takes weeks to set up corporations.
