Goofs

Maggie reads the name from the fake ID as Shauna McLaughlin. The ID is a Pennsylvania driver license that was clearly lifted from their website, as the name on it is Evelyn T. Sample, the date of birth is 04/25/1974, and the number is 99 999 999. This matches the sample driver license on the state's website as of the release date. This ID would indicate Maggie was 43 years old.

User Reviews

wasted opportunity

I'll keep it short and sweet. the story line and even the dialogue were good, and had potential for a Hollywood movie with a good cast, instead it was wasted on this boring TV movie. The acting was terrible with the exception of Deveaux who had some good moments. The rest were terrible especially the McNamara and Trickey idiots! That's about it.
