The Cradle Will Fall (1983 TV Movie)
7/10
Run of the mill TV thriller
16 July 2023
I don't always watch a steady diet of TV movies but during this couple of years I saw some because I am the completist of some actors with which nobody ever did, and some are good, some are bad and some are just ok like this.

Kathy DeMaio (Lauren Hutton) is a lawyer involved with the case of doctors Richard Carroll (Ben Johnson) and Edgar Highley (James Farentino) that invented a serum that works like a fountain of youth for the patients. But the serum apparently makes people die and Kathy discovers it just in time even tho at the beginning she isn't believed but in the end justice will triumph.

It was a bit confusing in the first half but in the second it improved because there were also various tense moments especially when Kathy was chasen by Highley for avoiding that the truth would have been discovered. The acting by all the cast members was adequate, nothing to rave about.

Overall, if you are into 1980s and 1990s TV movies you can give it a try, and if you are interested, it's available for free on YouTube.
