Good film version of a brilliant book by frances (Sydney, Australia)  4 Stars
November 21, 2009
It is a difficult task to make a movie out of a Nora Roberts book. The storylines are always so complicated and have lots of twists and turns. This movie adaptation of Northern Lights almost pulls it off. It is very entertaining. Sticks close to the book's storyline. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars was the inclusion of LeAnne Rimes in the lead role. What were they thinking??? She is a fantastic country music star but not an actor, and certainly not a lead actor. If you are a Nora Roberts fan, I recommend buying this DVD.

Movies are always better if you haven't read the book first! by R. Landers (North Las Vegas, NV United States) 5 Stars
September 23, 2009
Having not read this book first, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The chemistry between the two main characters is undeniable. The storyline is great as always with any Nora Roberts book made for tv. I do see the point of the first review written on this movie - the book will always seem better than the movie if you've read it beforehand. That said, give the movie a shot especially if you are a fan of Eddie Cibrian and/or Leanne Rimes.

Ruined by Roger Long (Port Clinton, OH USA)  1 Stars
September 16, 2009
The novel on which the movie is based was the first Nora Roberts book I read. What fascinated me about it was the writer's ability to create vividly a small Alaska town in mid-winter, when it is dark all or most of the day and snow lies piled deep. The plot was OK, a newly-hired cop meets an abrasive female pilot and gets mixed up in an old murder in the nearby mountains. The characters were a trifle shallow, but the ambience made up for the slack.
Now comes the movie, wherein the producers chose to ignore Ms Roberts well crafted atmosphere. The town isn't right. There's not enough snow. And, worst, on New Year's Eve the sun is high overhead in the afternoon. Did they think that readers of the book wouldn't notice?
In addition, the actors were completely unconvincing, particularly Ms Rimes, who is a contry singer out of her milieu. I was reminded of an anecdote regarding Dolly Parton in her movie acting debut. A frustrated director stopped a scene and asked Parton, "Can't you act at all?" "No," she answered, "and your job is to make it look as if I can." In that case, the director succeeded, but the director of Ms Rimes failed completely.
In short, the movie is a slapdash failure, not worth the time of anyone who enjoyed the book, and a time waster for those who didn't.
