Deadly Intentions is a crime thriller movie made for the Television back in 1985 which was based which was based on a true story that was publish as a book by William Randolph Stevens , and it tells the story of a young girl who married her prince charming only to discover later that he is totally a psychopath .

The film is two parts:

The first part shows you the story of the couple before their marriage and till the escape of the wife with her baby.

As for the second part it give as the events after three years of the first one from the day Charles trying to kill his previous wife till the end of the trial. and to be honest the first part was much powerful than the second one, don't get me wrong the second part was good but not as the same level of the first i felt like it was rushed a little bet and the court room scenes were also not that perfect except from a the confrontation by both Charles and his ex-wife .

Michael Biehn who is an action movie star most probably well known for (Terminator 1984 , Tombstone 1993 and Aliens 1986) gave us without doubt best performance for his whole life he really portrayed this psycho character more than anyone can do he showed us two sides of his character the evil and the complicated guy which was crated by his unreal mom who adopted him as a child and the face expressions and the body language that he made were so realistic, powerful and brilliant that surpassed his previous powerful role in the Fan 1981 with Lauren Bacall.

Madolyn Smith Osborne who plays the vulnerable wife was so perfect for the role her motherhood emotions were at the top along side her reaction to her psycho husband that turned her life to nightmare.

this was for sure one of the most underrated films I've ever seen and I wish that this was made for the big screen because it would have got a bigger budget and a better screen play and probably both Biehn and Osborne would get Oscar Nominations for their amazing roles
