Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
juneebuggy Well this was pretty bad; cheesy, stilled dialogue, overdone background music, bad decisions and just all-round kinda dull.Truthfully I only turned this on because I saw Yannick Bisson's name attached and well...Murdock Mysteries. He plays a secondary character here, the nice guy (as per) DA husband of the main character. In the opening scenes we learn his wife is pregnant and then discovers she was adopted. 'Lori' spends about 2 minutes searching for her birth mother and once reunited begins to uncover a mystery surrounding why her mom gave her up for adoption, why her father is in jail for murder and who killed her grandfather.The story itself was okay I guess, there is some mystery here especially in the beginning as you also follow some bearded dude in jail. The birth mother was a weird character; weak frightened, she just seemed crazy, as was everyone else in the small town Lori travels to.I will say that the bad guy gave me some (unintentional) laughs. Completely over-the-top and clichéd as he covers his tracks and threatens people. For the most part this was just a waste of time. 5/17/15
ksa-gooding Whew!! I don't know what the other viewers actually saw, but what I saw was a Hot Mess!! -Middle School level script -horrible acting -dark overdone background music -The Most Implausible Plot Ever!! Really?!?!-a pregnant woman is willing to stay alone in a strange town when it is obvious (even to the Middle School student that wrote this) that she is endangering her baby?!?! A review of the votes was unbelievable as well. The only thing that I can imagine is that half of the people voting are lying about their ages and they are also Middle School students!! It was nice to see Yannick Bisson. His face was the only saving grace. It is odd to see that even though he had a 'major' role he was all the way at the bottom of the cast list. I personally think that he asked for this so that he would not have to be associated with This Real DOG!!
marsnook2007 I thought this movie was fantastic and it kept you on your toes wondering how the Sheriff had such a hold on Evelyn and Jonas.It showed just how the Sheriff brainwashed them in thinking that Jonas could go to jail for something he did in defending his Sister from being killed by their Father.The Sheriff was greedy and just was thinking of his pocketbook and couldn't care less about anybody and didn't care who he killed to keep it.When Jonas was told by the Sheriff to take care of Lauren, he really didn't want to do it and was thinking about what to do. The only problem I had at the end of this movie was they didn't show what happened to Jonas after everything was cleared.
edwagreen A teacher married to a lawyer announces that she is pregnant and is then told by her mother that she is adopted!In discovering her birth mother, she and the rest of us are in for quite a ride dealing with blackmail, murder, framing someone else for murder for 35 years and just pure excitement in this nicely paced thriller.How nice that our teacher is married to an Assistant D.A. and that she can take time off for some sleuthing on her own.What a mess she uncovers when her real father was jailed for life for murdering her real grandfather. Her real mother, named Evelyn Wells, has been drugged for years by her brother. You should be able to ascertain who the real killer is here.
