The Plot:
When unassuming geologist Simon Miller mysteriously disappears one night, the Miller family is thrown into a desperate search to find him. Simon's wife Meredith and their two kids, Sarah, 18, and Kevin, 15, frantically search Simon's office for information. When they find a stash of passports, all with Simon's picture but each with a different alias, they realize that their father has been keeping more than a few secrets. Who is Simon Miller? And what has he gotten himself - and now his family - into? Not sure they can even trust the Dad they thought they knew, the Millers embark on an international mission to get him back. It's a heart-pounding adventure that tests the limits to which families will fight for each other. (The movie stars Robyn Lively, Loren Dean, Skyler Day, Drew Koles, and Christine Baranski.)
My Review:
As you may already know, P&G and Wal-Mart have partnered to create more made for TV family movies. The latest Family Movie Night movie, Who Is Simon Miller? premieres August 6th at 8/7c on NBC.
If you are a fan of the Bourne series and other fast paced action films with a good mystery, you will love Who is Simon Miller - this is a fast paced action movie that keeps the whole family on the edge of their seat and keeps you guessing about the outcome right til the end of the film!
This is a well cast and well acted movie - and it definitely didn't feel like a made for tv movie - there was enough action, suspense and mystery to keep us all satisfied!
One of the things that I like about the Family Movie Night series is that they really are family friendly movies with enough action and intensity to keep the adults interested without having to worry about what the kids see... although I have to recommend this movie primarily for children over 8.
