Everything to Gain (1996 TV Movie)
8/10
Why do bad things happen to good people?
7 July 1999
Interesting movie dealing with a difficult topic: depression and grief. Mallory is very happily married and has two daughters. They live in a dream house. Her husband and two daughters go to New York and he gets lost in New York. He ends up in a bad neighborhood. Two young men approached his car and wanted money. There was a robbery. For absolutely no reason one of the assailants shoots the three of them. Mallory basically lost her entire family. This movie deals with bereavement. She goes into a deep depression and hits bottom. Mallory did not want to leave her bed. She then befriended the police officer investigating the crime. She relives the entire incident where her family is killed and is healed in the process. The police officer and Mallory become close friends and fall in love. The way this movie deals with depression is very true to the reality of depression. Sad at times but it is a very good movie. It make me wonder what would I do in such predicament.
