Storyline

It's New Year's Eve in New York City and everyone's getting ready to party. Watching, waiting, a man called Hollander has a different kind of party in mind. Alone in her high-rise apartment, Sara has no idea that her boyfriend was a thief. But what he stole - and from whom - is about to put her life on the line. Trapped in the penthouse with Hollander and his sadistic partner, these two will kill, maim, tear the place apart to find a fortune in diamonds. While the party rages outside, inside Sara fights desperately for her life. It's kill or be killed in a pulse-pounding , non-stop fight to the finish - and it all takes place in Penthouse North.

Not lifetime
7 January 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is not a lifetime movie. It's actually called Penthouse North. Lifetime just changed the name and called it their own. It's a great movie though. The idea of this happening to a blind woman is much more interesting than a person who can see. I love Michelle Monaghan as actress and she's great in this movie. Michael Keaton is always one of my favorites and them two together makes this movie a whole lot better. If this were a lifetime movie there would be a cheesy, stupid love story about how the criminal "just needs someone to love him". Again though, this is not a lifetime movie. I don't know how they were allowed to change the name. Or say it was their movie.
