Having seen Dream Lover so long ago and remembering the amazing flesh that Madchen Amick showed off in that, (I have a copy on dvd of course), I happened to be in the mood to look for anything else she might have done, and I was surprised to find a lot more, and this was one of them.
It's a Twilight Zone-sh type of thing in terms of plot, and it was done pretty well. A terminally ill woman needs a heart transplant to survive and lo and behold one becomes available that is just right for her, but it belongs to a murder victim and she begins to enter into this victims' world where she unravels many of her erotic and dark secrets.
Madchen is so watchable throughout and a great turn by David Packer (Daniel in the origial V mini series), as the sheriff. There are also some neat twists and turns and it keeps you guessing to the end.
It does have a bit of a lean spot near the end but I was prepared to forgive this and Madchen didn't bare a single bit of flesh in this film which I have to admit, disappointed me a bit, but after her amazing show in Dream Lover, I'm prepared to forgive that too!!!
Heartless is a pretty solid little thriller that once again shows that most of the good stuff often gets overlooked and Madchen Amick proved herself a lot more than just a pretty face and a cute little body.

"Cellular Memory"
23 Mar 2006
Heartless was quite a disappointment considering how interesting the theme is: Cellular Memory!
Just a few days ago (during March 2006) the news reported scientists as saying that they have evidence of such occurrences and so the timing seemed perfect for this movie.
As it turns out though, apart from the theme and Monique Parent's two "hot" scenes, there isn't much to write home about.
The movie brings to the screen the story of a virgin in her twenties (!) with a serious heart condition. Things get a bit more complicated when following a heart transplant from a murdered woman she begins experiencing the dead woman's memories as well as a personality change...
Apart from the theme, the plot, the acting and the dialogues are way below average.
Among the let downs was Pamela Bellwood ("Claudia" from Dynasty) whose performance was nothing compared to what she is capable of presenting, and Madchen Amick whose leading role in the film was just sad.
Moreover, the characters were unexpectedly plain and bland.
David Packer's character was overly exaggerated to the point that it got tiring AND annoying very early on, not to mention the acting, which was pathetic.
As for the rest of the supporting actors this film does not seem to be their thing. Subsequently, they are not convincing in their roles at all.
Though the potential for a great movie was there it fails to take off. A shame really...

Be Careful What You Wish For!
23 Oct 2000
This smart, sexy and romantic thriller has a great cast and lush settings. It starts out as a fairy tale, a shy virgin wantng the glamorous life in her visions and becoming the unwitting next victim of her heart donor's murderer. The mystery is a twisted love story, so there's something for everyone - a perfect date flick, trashy and fun. Don't forget the popcorn!
