The Survivors Club (2004 TV Movie)
6/10
Promising Beginning, Typical TV Movie Conclusion
7 September 2006
After being raped by a serial killer, Jillian Hayes (Roma Downney), Carol Rosen (Jacqueline Bisset) and Meg Pesaturo (Lauren Lee Smith) found "The Survivors Club", and they use the press to force the police and justice to arrest the rapist. Eddie Como (Darren Shahlavi) is arrested, based on DNA evidences, and while going to court for trial, he is murdered by a sniper and the three women switch position from victims to suspects. Detective Roan Griffin (James Remar), who is traumatized by the brutal murder of his beloved wife by the manipulative killer David Price (Brian Markinson), joins the investigation with detective Fitz Fitzpatrick (Jerry Wasseman) trying to solve the case.

"The Survivors Club" has a promising and original premise, with victims trading positions to suspects after the murder of the prime suspect. The story is tense and keeps the mystery, but in the middle of the plot, the writer decides to have a romance between the detective and the suspect, and introduces a criminal that is a rip-off of Dr. Hannibal Lecter and spoils the good movie with a typical commercial conclusion of an ordinary TV movie. Anyway, this flick is a reasonable entertainment. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Clube de Sobreviventes" ("The Club of Survivors")
