    Awful... (Don't watch...)

    It's pretty clear from about 10minutes in that this is firmly in "Movie of the week" territory, so we, as the audience, aren't expecting too much!

    But what we get is so bad and so full of plot holes and ridiculous acts, it's almost beyond belief.

    Sleeping with a rape survivor is bad enough, but then the head detective decides, in his wisdom, to take her with him to a flippin prison... I mean, the guy has had his own trauma to deal with but come on.

    I suppose a movie which begins with a presumed multiple rapist and murderer being marched into court in perfect view of a sniper isn't gonna get hung up on the details.

    These police or more Naked Gun than NYPD blue.

    Threatening suspects, tainting crime scenes, all in a day's work.

    This movie is crap, plain as.

    It takes a hackneyed plot and throws it in a bad movie trope blender.

    The acting is more wooden than a tree.

    You have been warned!

    Promising Beginning, Typical TV Movie Conclusion

    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")

    Pretty good

    After three women are supposedly raped by the same man, they get together for regular meetings of 'The Survivors Club'. The suspected rapist, Eddie Como, is taken care of, but new evidence surfaces that suggests the rapist may still be out there. Besides, Eddie's wife seems very confident about her husband's innocence. Meanwhile, the three women are being investigated because they might have plotted revenge against Eddie, and two people are dead, possibly as a result of the women's actions.

    There are numerous plot twists that make this movie really interesting. The movie is actually darkly funny at times, but it is very much a drama. A ridiculous romantic subplot is the only real weakness.

    Brian Markinson delivers the best acting performance, ranging from comedic to chilling, as David Price, a serial killer with new information on the Eddie Como case that could get him a deal. Jacqueline Bisset is also quite good as one of the women, very convincing as she goes through a range of emotions. I thought most of the leading actors did a good job (though Roma Downey had a hard time hiding her Irish accent occasionally).

    This movie had some violence, which was to be expected, and several tastefully (no private parts visible) filmed scenes where a woman is apparently nude after an attack, as well as scenes of women being attacked. The dialogue got somewhat graphic as the attacker's methods were described.

    Overall, it was a better than average 'woman in jep' TV-movie.

    I survived this movie.

    This is a TV movie starring Roma Downey as Jillian Hayes, who form a group called The Survivors Club with friends Carol Rosen (Jacqueline Bisset) and Meg Pesaturo (Lauren Lee Smith) after becoming victims to a serial rapist.

    You got some nice suspense when the supposed rapist was killed by a sniper outside the courthouse and suddenly the three friends are the main suspects. That's a little exciting turn-of-events where the group have to clear their names and where the hunt for the real killer begins.

    Downey did a nice, dramatic job in her role, but I thought the movie focused too much on her background and her misfortune; it would have been more relevant to see how the criminal events affected Carol and Meg as well. I also thought the subplot of the relationship between Jillian and Roan Griffin (James Remar) dragged the movie too much, and focus was turned away from the Survivors Club vs. bad guys plot.

    But, it's an OK and average movie too waste some time with.

    Grade C+

    You're better off reading the book...much better off.

    I didn't know about this movie until the night it premiered, and I wish it hadn't been made at all. Loosely adapted by an amazingly well-written book by Lisa Gardner, The Survivors Club presented itself with terrible acting by people trying way too hard to tug at your heartstrings. In the end, you couldn't feel sorry for any of the rape victims, you could only laugh at the actresses playing the rape victims. Plus, the plot was muddled and totally messed up. If I hadn't read the book long before this movie, I would have been confused.

    TV movies and movies based off a book already have reputations for being overdramatic and awful, with few exceptions, and this film didn't help anything. This was a complete waste of film, time, and money. Don't watch the TV movie based off another Lisa Gardner book, The Perfect Husband, either. Read the two books, and might I suggest The Next Accident, The Other Daughter, and The Killing Hour.
