Although I saw Personals on TV, was surprised to find it was made for TV (except for the unknown actors). Acting, directing and plot were excellent in this film noir style modern thriller. After a number of interesting plot turns, it kept me on the edge of my chair, wondering how it will end. Wanted to see a bit more of the reporter's editor, and the ending could have been a little more original, but generally outstanding on all counts.
This made-for-TV crime drama is one of those films that terms like "OK" and "passable" must have been invented for. It certainly isn't a bad film to be condemned and ignored at once, but it isn't good enough to be watched twice or to deserve special attention, either. Just a professionally made little thriller that manages to sustain your interest, despite a high number of implausibilities in the second half. Never rousing but always watchable.
