Fatal Proposal

Did not like Richard Thomas's work (Waltons) at all. Then, saw this show's broadcast and have never forgotten what his true talent is. Certainly for me, unforgettable.

This movie was very creepy to me because this kind of thing happens every day.

What I can never understand, though, is why people don't notify law enforcement when things start to get out of hand (one has to be careful with employers, as they're quite often "good-old-boy networks" only concerned about protecting their own, as well as covering their own behinds). If I were the personnel director and I heard comments like he was making, I would have notified the police as soon as he left! However, this film was made in 1993, before workplace and school shootings became fairly commonplace.....

That withstanding, I've never been a victim of stalking, but you can bet that I would also never let things get as far as they tend to do with many people (maybe it's the way I was raised, or because I have a pretty good self-esteem, who knows).

Nevertheless, I find these types of films much more captivating and closer to home than the usual stuff out there.

It's too bad that there are such people in this world.......

When I first saw the movie, I was completely shocked! Richard Thomas did an amazing job, with this part! I saw the fear in Brooke Shields eyes, but her crying wasn't really good, sorry. The human resource lady, she was protecting Richard more then Laura! I didn't like her comment about Laura's smile! The other lady that showed Richard getting Laura personal information was so wrong! This company didn't protect Laura like they should have! She could have sued them! Laura went through hell and had to the surgeries because of him! Just because she refused to go out with him, he sexually harassed Laura for 4 years and they were worried about his clearance! What about Laura's!?! Richard was fired for threatening to kill the lady and his work fell off! Laura had every right to get restraining order, on him! If someone is talking about company's doors they should have warned the company! And, maybe saved lives! The music used, was perfect for this story!

A factual account of a young man who has gone berserk after failing to garner the attentions of a female co-worker. Richard Thomas is as far off from his "John Boy" image as he get get. What a great performance. Brooke Shields is adequate as the stalked girl. The culmination of Thomas' rampage ends with his entering his former workplace armed to the teeth. Too bad it's not on video. If it ever is, catch it and have a "thrilling" time watching it.

this was not a bad movie at all and i have to say,having been a fan of Brooke shields for years i think this was her first outing at actually being able to show her acting strength.she has just gotten better and better but i was totally impressed with her performance.the movie itself can slow in parts a little bit the last half hour certainly makes up for it.i did not expect such an entertaining finale from a t.v movie.although Richard Thomas did a great job,this is Brooke's film as her screen time shows and she made the most of it.the only let down with the film are the co-stars .the look of them and their acting abilities are woeful and you wonder how they got their jobs-all except for Laura Blacks flatmate that is,who does a fair job.
