Women who enjoy romantic suspense should like this TV movie about a jewelry-design apprentice who is abducted during a robbery. While being held in a high-rise apartment, she finds herself frightened and flustered by the smarmy advances of one of the holdup men and, at the same time, confused and unsettled by the oddly protective actions of another of the gang members. The characters are well drawn, distinctive, and intriguingly diverse. Lolita Davidovich is particularly interesting as a makeup artist/novice robber. The storyline moves smoothly and steadily and has just enough plot turns to make for a simple but engaging crime drama.
