Lifetime loves to one-up itself, but its new movie, Killer Contractor, seems like a true exercise in absurdity. Unlike the College Admissions Scandal that aired on the network Saturday night, — mostly because its plot is too far-fetched to even try to buy into. But if you're looking for a juicy Sunday night soap, that's kind of the appeal, right?Directed by John Murlowski, a Lifetime veteran who also helmed such gems as and, Killer Contractor tells the story of single mom Kerry (Alyshia Ochse), who returns to her hometown after receiving news that her estranged father has died. She and her daughter, Ella, initially only come for the funeral, but after Ella falls in love with the town, the two decide to stay. Dinosaur hunt 2018. Kerry then hires an old classmate-turned-contractor, Mike Dean (Zac Titus) to fix up her old house. However, as the trailer shows, the more 'fixing' that Mike does on his childhood crush's house, the more things start to go wrong.First, the floor gives way and Kerry falls through the ceiling.
Then, a moving ceiling fan falls onto Ella's better. Later, there even appears to be some sort of fire. All the while, people around town warn Kerry about Mike (a classic Lifetime red flag), and he becomes increasingly unhinged. 'Those your dad's things?' He asks Kerry. 'Did he tuck you in and kiss you at night?'

Elsewhere in the trailer, he's seen talking to an older woman — presumably his mother, judging by the familiarity and forcefulness with which she speaks to him — who insists that the house will 'give them the respect that they deserve.' It's unclear why the house is viewed as such a 'pillar of the community,' as a surveyor describes it, but to Mike's mom, it's apparently the ultimate symbol of status.Because of this, Mike seems hell-bent on getting rid of anyone who might get in the way of him taking over the property. The trailer shows a hooded figure likely to be Mike hitting one of Kerry's friends with a hammer, as well as setting up a deadly accident for a woman interested in buying the house once renovations are complete.To make matters worse, Kerry even begins to suspect that Mike was behind the death of her father, which seems increasingly suspicious the more the authorities investigate it. Chances are, Mike was involved in her dad's death — and now, Kerry and her daughter are next. Killer Contractor's entire plot is ridiculous, even by Lifetime standards. (seriously, what is it about this house?
Can't Mike and his mom just put an offer on it?). But at the very least, it's an interesting spin on the whole woman-with-a-stalker story that's by now well-trod territory for the network. You'll have to watch to find out if Mike succeeds in his plan (or if he really is just in love with Kerry), but the bad guy rarely makes it out of a Lifetime movie. For Kerry's sake, hopefully the house will at least remain standing.
I ordinarily comment about movies I like. This is an exception. Frida looks the part of of a hardened, stealthy assassin. Nevertheless, a weak script, disjointed segments and sloppy direction supplant her latent talent and place it under a thinly veiled insult to her ability. By no means a Robert Ludlum thriller, the film is merely an inept reprise of the Bourne trilogy. Tougher, smarter and much more gutsy, Jason rarely used a firearm to execute his agenda, but that is Frida's only counter to the loosely conceived threats she faces.
Her unwitting English accomplice bears little resemblance to Jason's love interests. Always the bad guys, the C.I.A. Hierarchy and subordinates lack the sophistication we have come to know in the film media.
Easily duped, they are outwitted at every turn, and their 'assets' are more like liabilities. Humanizing them weakens their ability to pose a serious threat to Frida as she unravels a truly ludicrous scheme that would effectively undermine the economy of the world. The fights, the car chases, the helicopter intervention (why didn't the asset just shoot it down?) and the predictable climax made a dismal excuse for an action thriller. I hope Frida's paycheck compensates her for the what is truly a stab at her credibility as an actor.
