Off the Rails

The synopsis here claims this was based on true events. I find that very hard to believe, considering the absurd plot, all the holes in it, and all the plot points that were left unresolved. If it was based on anything real, they took a story and fictionalized it to the point where it no longer resembled anything real.

The ending, both the events that took place right before the very end, and the very end itself, were totally unbelievable and unrealistic (I don't want to get into details about this to give spoilers; I prefer reviews that don't have any). But that's typical for a Lifetime movie. They have a structure they follow, and this movie followed it all the way.

It isn't listed as a TV movie, and appears to have had a theatrical release. If so, I'm sure it was very brief, and made no money in theaters. It is a movie tailor made for Lifetime only. So if you like Lifetime movies, this is as good, if not a little better, than most. Just know what you are getting into beforehand, so you don't have expectations that won't be met.
