Swept Under
Meet Morgan. At first glance, she's just your average cleaning lady. She has no problem getting her hands dirty, which is a good thing considering it's not fancy houses she cleans for a living - it's gruesome crime scenes. It's at one of these scenes that Morgan discovers a key piece of evidence overlooked by the forensics team. This, and her knack for reading blood splatter, catch Nick's attention, a newbie detective working the case. The pair soon become unofficial partners on what's become a stream of related murders and the closer they get to solving the mystery the closer they get to each other. But while they succeed in getting a confession from their primary suspect, their feelings for each other risk blinding them to the truth and they find themselves dangerously close to the real killer.

Absolutely Fantastic
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This was a pretty decent made for tv movie. It screams as if it was an Ovary Channel Movie, WE, Lifetime, etc. The acting was good, the plot even better. I would like to have seen a different ending, but the one they did kind of left it open for a possible sequel. If they made one, I would watch it.I am a big fan of Devin Kelley. She is a natural beauty that can totally make the "Hot" factor work in sweats, plaid shirt and no makeup. Hey, she's a Minnesota Gal and being a Minnesotan myself, many of them can pull that off. Not to mention Big Clomping Snow Boots, a Parka and a Furry Bombers Hat. Devin is a great actress and was really good as Julie Sullivan in the tv show, Frequency that got canceled after only one season. Too bad, it was a good movie and tv show.This movie is worth the watch if you like a bit of a mystery with your almost love affair type movie.
Caught this on late night TV. Beginning was intriguing enough to stop me dialing around. The two leads were good actors, but then the plot holes began after the twist. The rookie homicide detective and supposedly upstanding moralist turned out to be a pretty poor detective and a hypocrite when it came to ethics. Spoilers After basically deputizing the cleaning lady as his helper he made the morally questionable decision of treating her as his girlfriend, then continued to blab to her about the case he's trying to resolve using police resources. He can't even put two and two together when his police badge goes missing temporarily and a suspect who insisted on seeing the badge before unlocking his door is killed at home without forced entry. And perhaps the "bad" cops he ratted on in his back story might have something to say about his letting a known serial murderer go after insisting he'd turn his own mother in if she broke the law. But of course, he wasn't sleeping with his mother....
Where to begin? The beginning seemed promising, but the movie (or Devin Kelly) quickly grew tiresome. The female lead was not relatable or appealing; even after her backstory was revealed, she was still unlikable.The premise was interesting, but the script just didn't deliver. If it hadn't been for Aaron Ashmore, whose work I like, I'd have given up on this one 30 minutes in.The ending was unrealistic and and out of character, a lousy ending to a movie that never worked.
After police investigators collect evidence, attractive Devin Kelley (as Morgan Sher) cleans up crime scenes. Possessing a strong stomach and gag reflex, Ms. Kelly is able to mop up excessive human blood and squeegee splattered brains off windows. She cleans up well. Kelly is on the job when she meets likewise attractive homicide detective Aaron Ashmore (as Nick Hopewell). He also looks sexy in one of those neatly trimmed beards so popular in "Lifetime" TV movies today. He and she are mutually attracted, but Kelly has a hinted-at history of relationship problems. Due to her experience, Kelly is able to figure out how a bloody murder happened, by surveying the crime scene. She agrees to help Mr. Ashmore on his first case, but tells him no dating while they work together... When the case turns out to be a serial killer, how long can they keep from playing hide the pistol? For most of the first half, this is a very engaging movie. Director Michel Poulette works exceptionally well delivering the story, by Doug Barber and James Phillips; he manages his co-stars with skill. Obviously, Kelly and Ashmore have the kind of chemistry that could sustain a TV series, or more movies. The story wisely keeps them out of bed for a sustained period of time. This is the secret appeal of many screen team-ups (and buddy movies); after they do it, we're done. The second half of the unfortunately titled "Swept Under" aka "Maid for Murder" is interesting, but much less satisfying. The co-starring couple are shifted from murder mystery to near horror. To their credit, they and Mr. Poulette keep you interested through an uncomfortable tone shift and choppy ending. ***** Swept Under/Maid for Murder (12/6/2015) Michel Poulette ~ Devin Kelley, Aaron Ashmore, Stephen Bogaert, Brett Ryan
