The story was based on the very realistic happenings that occur in this sick world of ours today. The problem with the movie is that the actions of the police, the heroine and the parent the movie were so far fetched and unrealistic that it made the movie not worth watching. Over the years, I come to expect Lifetime movies to be a tad on the corny side. But they are generally very clean and devoid of gratuitous sex and violence so I always watch them. To me that is a worthwhile swap. This movie was over the top and very predictable. The movie did have a bright spot and that was Eva. Not her role mind you, but just watching her was wonderful.
... View MoreI could not stop watching this movie, although I've seen it at least twice since 2006. It was very believable and unpredictable at the same time. Definitely one of the most entertaining lifetime movies- with great acting from everyone. I for one was glad that they cut down on the "blatant gore" factor, something which is very unnecessary for those that enjoy good acting/entertainment. I remember Eva LaRue from " All My Children". She was a was a standout even then. I would definitely recommend this movie for a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon with friends or family. I'm not sure what others- who've rated this movie 2-3 stars- are looking for in a good made for TV movie. This one has it!!
... View MoreIn this LMN feature Eva La Rue managed to hold the film together with her performance. It was quite real and at times touching as well as believable. Hats of to this actress. Not too many good ones like this on LMN. She and her fellow team mate cop played by Adrian Holmes worked well together and very natural. You felt they both had done crime work before.What I found not realistic was the leading man, played by Adam Harrington, having an affair with an older hag of a woman, played by Gina Chiarelli. She was just plain ugly. Why would a good looking young man go for the likes of her? This threw me.Camille Sullivan had only a little to do in this as La Rue's ill fated sister. However the situation was too close to the Peterson case in real life. Linda Darlow was the often irritating emotional mother of the two sisters. She got on your nerves after a while.But this is a step up from most of LMN films with La Rue's acting.
... View MoreI give it an 8 just for Eva alone. I think she did well and had a great tough chick role. Would've liked a little more gore, but hey it's TV I guess...The villain worked like a Kathy Bates type crazy and her reveal at the end was great.For a Lifetime movie it was worth my time and I didn't flick the channel. I would love to see Eva do more like this. Or even to have Eva do a feature film. She has a lot of talent and isn't being used enough. Look forward to seeing her more in CSI Miami too.When this movie comes on again, can anyone let me know. Thanks in advance.
