Refuge [HD]

Refuge is worth a look
Being a huge Linda Hamilton fan, I had to order this movie as soon as it became available. It did not disappoint. She does a great job as the downtrodden wife who finally has all she can take and fights back. Horrified at what she has done, she drives around looking for somewhere she can truly find Refuge and meets up with an interesting young man, to say the least. Their interaction is what gives this movie its heart and made it very enjoyable for me.

Big Linda Hamilton fan
Big Linda Hamilton fan, movie "Refuge' was great and you do want to watch it again and again. Don't like comedy, but enjoyed laughing and the humor and drama in this movie.

Worth watching over and over . . .
Linda Hamilton, as usual, gives an excellent performance, this time as Amelia, a hospice nurse who also happens to be in a loveless marriage to Jack (Christopher McDonald), an abusive husband and drug addict. Without giving away the plot, even though she finds herself in a nightmarish and impossible personal situation, she still truly cares for those she meets, encouraging them to change and become better persons. Amelia's developing relationship with Daryl (Christ Payne Gilbert), a high school teacher and failed novelist running away from his fiancé and life, makes you care about both of them and worry about the decisions they soon have to make. An unusual but interesting story line, quirky and humorous but dramatic as well, giving us real life lessons. I wanted the movie to be longer, wanted more of the story -- it ended too quickly for me, thus the reason you will want to watch it again. I read that the movie was made in over 100 degree weather with no letup. Amazing...
