The irony of this is that whilst in storyline "The Perfect Assistant" doesn't offer anything new it could have worked as an average take on this sort of obsessed woman drama. The fact we have a storyline which starts with David's wife becoming seriously ill and Rachel stepping in to look after his daughter isn't new either because all this means is that she manipulates her way in to the child's life as well. That means she murders, manipulates and schemes her way into her boss's life, silencing those who are a threat, poisoning those who could get in the way and becoming so pivotal that her boss can't function without her.
#Rachel the perfect assistant movie
The fact that here we have Rachel being the assistant to the man she is obsessed with is of little consequence as this is a text book obsessed woman movie and nothing more.
So "The Perfect Assistant" is your text book made for TV movie about a woman who is both obsessed with and delussional about a man and will go to scary lengths to make him hers. Now with an opportunity to make her move she plans to wheedle her way into David's personal life, ruthlessly dealing with anyone who dares to get in her way or ruin her plans.
But for Rachel it is the moment she has been waiting for because she is completely and utterly obsessed with David and even has fantasies of becoming his wife. When David Wescott's ( Chris Potter - She Drives Me Crazy) wife is suddenly taken seriously ill he is grateful that his assistant, Rachel ( Josie Davis - Carolina Moon), steps up to help, not only at the office but also at home where she helps take care of David's daughter.
