Second Sight (2016) Reviews

• Could have been so much better

  Tatyana Ali has come a long way since playing the little sister type in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." I've seen her in film projects that demonstrate that she is growing as an actress. Unfortunately, the script for "Second Sight," a starring vehicle for Ali, just doesn't measure up. Ali plays Clara, a teacher who has visions about a kidnapped child who attends her school. Similar to most movies in this genre, Clara has trouble getting anyone to believe her visions are actually legit. There are a few twists but overall the film fell flat about halfway through because it gives away too much too soon. This TV One original movie will probably be shown on Lifetime somewhere down the road but frankly, it's not even as good as a Lifetime movie. Ms. Ali deserves a better vehicle to show what she can do as an actress.
