This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
I agree the storyline is much over done, movies with similar story lines but these movies would not be successful ifs its not hitting home base, truth is this happens so often in reality and i'm sure alot of times women wish they could be like Karen. I thought the acting was pretty good, kept me at my screen not wondering off to the fridge like i usually do.
With no thanks to the leading lady Annie Heise, not to be confused with Anne Hesch also a bad actress. This one is as boring and uninteresting to watch as the other one. From the beginning to the surprise ending she sort of wandered from set to set and obviously attempting to frame a guy she slept with that turned out to be her best friend's husband. As a stupid amateur sleuth, she screws everything up and makes one mistake after another. The police should have arrested her for interfering with their work.But no, this bimbo keeps getting in everybody's hair, drugging the guy she suspects, not informing her best friend of her husband's infidelity and generally snooping in everybody's business. Meantime, she supposed to be working. All of us are hoping she gets knocked off.
This was pitiful. A suspense thriller riddled with bad acting, bad script, unbelievable scenarios and an over-the-top climax. Sandy, a woman haunted by her tragic past and lingering demons moves to a new town where she runs into and old friend who helps her get back on her feet by finding her a job and a good place to stay. She (Sandy) meets a mysterious man with whom she has a brief but intense relationship and soon after finds out that this man is actually her friend Karen's husband. Things in town begin to go awry when another woman linked to Karen's husband turns up dead and Sandy begins to suspect that her ex-lover might be a serial killer. The film's only saving grace is its attractive cast and maybe the fact that it was a made-for-television fête which hopefully kept the budget low.
This is an utterly undistinguished Lifetime movie, the same one you've seen many many times if you watch Lifetime. The actors are uninteresting, the direction is pedestrian and the writing is bland and amateurish. This movie could be the template from which all Lifetime movies are made. The relatively high rating is almost certainly due to one or both of two things: either some reviewers were associated with the production, and/or some were impressed with the twist which was truly unexpected. The question is: was the movie good enough to make the twist worth watching the film? I say NO. You will find the film tedious in the extreme, you will not expect the ending, and you will still regret having watched this howler.
