Intriguing enough concept but weak execution

The story and plot sound rather like a typical Lifetime drama, where they combine realism within the plot and add in a few dramatic elements for effect. It's not nearly as erotic or suspenseful thrilling as it could have been- considering this is possibly PG-13 as they had restrictions.It certainly starts off as you would expect with seeing the death scene of the wife (which is the synopsis and key plot- not a spoiler). The central plot is about how she died as it's framed as a suicide. But we know it's a murder. Certainly predictably where we expect it to be the husband who did it. As further watching, they casually throw away the reveal where it isn't shocking.The standout is Keri Russell who made her character believable once she got confortable to the portrayal. Stephen Collins was just right for his role, playing the father who "seduces" Russell.The conclusion was somewhat of a letdown all be it still entertaining enough. Where things unfold predictably. There's a 'cat and mouse' game within the finale which was bizarrely done and didn't make much sense considering why Collin's didn't make it more difficult for Russell to escape. It's as if he wanted her to escape. Also her escaping was rather unrealistic.In the end, she gets away. The cops of course show up as they arrest him (seemingly he's okay after being stabbed). The film isn't anything special. The concept and Keri Russell make it worthwhile for a Lifetime 90's film and the scenery is solid as well. Perhaps slightly better than expected.

With its 85 minutes it's still too long.

A very mediocre crime movie. The dialogues feel totally artificial and bad acted. Similar situations were there in several other movies before. If it was a more interesting kind of stage-managing, I'd turn a blind eye. But this was awfully long winded und uninteresting. Somehow uninspired. I would like to have my time back. It was not a complete rubbish which turns it only worse. If I have a completely no go in my player, I turn it off, give it a 1/10 and reject the trash for something better. But it is just so good, that I hoped it will turn better over the whole runtime until the end. So I waited for the wrong thing. Badly.
