Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. Non-notable TV movie. The article doesn't cite any sources and I couldn't find any good ones. Baronet13 (talk) 17:53, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, No reviews I can find, Rotten Tomatoes is bare [1]. Not sure why it was speedy kept twice, but I can't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 18:54, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The prior nominations did not provide a reason for nominating in the first place. Conyo14 (talk) 21:55, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, Geejayen (talk · contribs) submitted both a day apart from each other in late November 2017. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 23:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A logline in this clipping (for its original HBO airing) is pretty much all PQ has on the subject (after typing in the title with the surname of the star Michael Biehn); more detective work required for WP:NFILM's sake. Otherwise, IMDb is our friend from this point on.

Lo and behold, a review! (No thanks to trying out the same strategy with lead actress Gina Gershon.) Can we get a couple more to save this topic?

Keep. The sources mentioned above, this review on FdB (in Czech) and this review on DVD Talk, among other things, attest notability.— MY, OH MY! (mushy yank)— 22:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC); adding: this review (German)(the film is a US-German-South African production) or this, the film was internationally distributed (versions in Czech, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese, etc.). Notability seems pretty clear. — MY, OH MY! (mushy yank)— 21:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Comment: The Czech source is clearly a version of IMDB and probably shouldn't be considered a reliable source. The Newsday source appears to be a schedule of TV programs rather than coverage/a review. The Sunday Mail Adelaide is a local newspaper, which is not the best source to due lower standards for inclusion in local news compared to national news outlets.

Keep: There is also a review in TV Guide here. Somebodyidkfkdt (talk) 02:37, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am satisfied with the sources provided. I have added a few. BD2412 T 15:55, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
