New York Times 3/6/04: Lauren Lee Smith THE SURVIVOR'S CLUB
CBS, tomorrow night at 9, Eastern and Pacific times; 8, Central time A woman in a bathtub with a gun commands attention. In that tub is Jacqueline Bisset as Carol, a high-strung rape victim, in ''The Survivor's Club,'' a satisfactory thriller based on the novel by Lisa Gardner. Carol assumes this armed crouch because she's terrified of being attacked again, and in this fear she resembles two other rape victims with whom she has formed a fighting mad Survivor's Club. As the movie opens, the three -- Carol, Meg (Lauren Lee Smith) and their spokesmodel, Jillian (Roma Downey, who is also an executive producer) -- agitate for the conviction of Eddie Como, the chief suspect in the crimes against them. But when Como is killed by a sniper while perp-walking, they come under suspicion for commissioning the hit.
