To Catch a Spy

اچھی فلم!

I don't know if this is going to be a repeated mystery series or not, but I hope it is. The setting of Malta was absolutely spectacular and the two main characters were great. The mystery was compelling with our main character being a travel writer who travels to Malta with her staff to review a newly opening hotel that her friend helped renovate. Meanwhile, the American embassy has a theft that the FBI is investigating and her friend is killed at the hotel...are they connected? Our Travel writer has a good head on her shoulders and very loyal photographer and I. T. guy...she is also a fan of spy novels/mysteries. I really hope this is the start of a new series...because I would watch it.

Ugh. Terrible acting, script and accents. This was so low budget. As others have said, this was painful to watch. If this is a new series, I will not be watching any others. I like Mystery 101 and Chronicle Mysteries!

The lead actress was stiff, and unbelievable. The story wasn't great, it was marginal. Would have been more enjoyable had the acting been decent, but it wasn't. The story has some many plot holes. The heroine is definitely in the "too stupid to live" group. Yeah. It's bad. Don't waste your time.

Mystery was a bit curious. Is it a comedy or drama? The leads and suspects were okay. A typical Hallmark story where the female lead, in this case a travel writer, finds a body and then gets in over her head trying to solve it. There's a lot of scenery to take in, but the script and casting are lacking in depth. Would not mind seeing more of the leads, but the supporting cast has little to do, which is fortunate because they can't act. Needs the charm of a series like Murder She Baked.

I like Nathalie Kelley. She'll never be the best actress, but she's charming and the camera loves her. Mr. Chicago Med wasn't bad either. The setting, as others have noted, was beautiful. The plot, however, was implausible and corny. Actually, maybe it's just the Nancy Drew genre that feels so banal. In any event, I knew what I was getting into when I started watching, so I can't complain about the plot holes. What I didn't expect was the villain in the climactic scene to be such a joke. If you can get through the final few scenes without rolling your eyes and laughing then you were probably asleep.

To Catch A Spy is a decent effort from Hallmark. Story is solid and scenery is beautiful. The lead actress is the weakest point but surrounding cast makes up for her lack of talent. Not quite Mystery 101 level but a good start and they could easily make a sequel in another location. Worth a watch on a Sunday. Now, if we could just tell the costume designer no one wears their jacket draped over their shoulders all the time. That was distracting.

I enjoyed the story but she needs to go back to acting school or I would've given all 10 stars but her acting is horrible absolutely horrible even in dynasty it was horrible.

This is definitely one of Hallmark's better mystery movies. I am no mystery officianado-by far-but I can usually figure out 'who done it' fairly early on. I still enjoy these movies but not quite as much as the ones that keep me guessing longer. This movie kept me guessing longer, so big bonus. The two main stars, Nathalie Kelley, who played Chloe Day, & Colin Donnell, who played Aaron Maxwell, were great, as always. I have yet to see either of them disappoint in a role. Even if the script is average, they always shine. However, I REALLY liked the supporting cast too, in particular Jonathan Dunn, who played Patrick Schaeffer, & Patti Murin, who played Sara Webb. Their characters were super fun & I was impressed by their deliveries. I truly hope to see them both in more movies, Hallmark or otherwise.

Another Lame HMM movie!!! Nathalie can't act and is so unbelievable. Whoever wrote this trash should be ashamed of themselves, Seriously that a travel writer is smarter than the FBI is laughable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
