A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This movie is my kind of movie. Suspense, Determination, True Friendship, Not giving up, Facing justice, Being justice. Holly didn't give up at all. She made sure the person was found. The thing that stood out the most is that she wasn't protecting herself and her own justice. She was focused on making sure the person who killed her best friend was put to justice. And Holly even put herself in danger's way to be a friend for her friend.

Holly Hamilton (Marie Avgeropoulos) is an independent loner teen computer hacker who has a history with the cops. She has only one friend and her name is Blake. When they go to a bar to celebrate, Blake is lured away by a serial rapist. Holly goes in search of Blake and comes upon the rapist. He kills Blake and frames Holly for the crime.This is a made-for-TV movie, and it looks like it. Luckily the story had a little bit of ambition which made it somewhat watchable. Marie Avgeropoulos is good looking and fairly physical. But she doesn't really have the facial expressions to do in-depth acting. The story has some tension, but the low budget just doesn't allow for big action. It's watchable, but forgettable.

Now THIS is a film to really get excited about on the Lifetime network. FUGITIVE AT 17 works extremely well as an action movie and as a thriller. The audience makes an immediate connection with Holly, our lead heroine played with fierce intensity by Marie Avgeropoulos. Once the inciting incident occurs as Holly is accused of her friend's drug murder, we're off and running on a roller coaster ride as she tries to evade her pursuers and find the truth. I was pleasantly surprised at how unpredictable and fun this film was. The smart writing and well done execution puts you right in the middle of all the action. The characters were developed well and the action keeps moving at a brisk pace. It definitely makes me want to see more in the "At 17" franchise.

Terrific suspense thriller where 2 girls certainly get more than what they bargained for when they attend a college party. One girl is drugged to death and her friend is soon blamed for her death when the killer drugged her as well and planted narcotics in her purse.The rest of the story is devoted to hunting down the girl who is able to escape while being transported to a facility. Clever, she is able to trace the culprit to the economics department at the college. Problem throughout is that no one will really believe her except a police woman who is being pressured to get results from her superior, her former ex-husband.
