Pretty good for a lifetime movie
A Perfect Storm
After Brian Simon had an adulterous affair, it was surprising that his wife Elise would want to hire a young, attractive nanny to serve as a live-in "au pair" in their home and care for their young son Cody. Of course, the philanderer Brian will succumb to temptation.
As they are hiring the nanny, Brian has a setback at work when the multi-million-dollar account he closed was assigned to his co-worker Vance Lipton. And at Elise's art gallery, an aggressive developer is applying muscle to buy her out in order to build condominiums. All of these factors combine for a perfect storm of murder and mayhem.
"Devious Nanny" was an especially well-crafted film with a crackling good story and a set of well-developed characters. One of the most intriguing was a character named Jax, the best friend of Amber Deschenel, the nanny hired by the Simons. Jax and Amber were orphans who bonded over a shared past growing up in foster homes. Jax appears to be Amber's "sponsor" in giving her advice in moments of crisis. In one of the film's most shocking scenes, Jax is surprised in her home and is murdered.
Plenty of the crises unfold as both Brian's co-worker Vance and the developer named Dutton are killed as well. While the evidence points on the surface to Amber as the culprit, the filmmakers devise a clever twist to pull the rug out from under the audience. Some excellent fight choreography is at the heart of the film's most dynamic physical confrontation at the end.
Best lifetime movie in years
Plot good. Acting good. Twist good. The lead is awesome and will see bigger roles soon. Loved it!
