    Utter nonsense...but I finished it.

    Staycation day so I'm binging movies. Sometimes Lifetime has hidden gems, but this was not one of them. I try not to give spoilers, but you will figure out what's going on probably 40 minutes in. There's actually another movie Lifetime did called Psycho Ex-Girlfriend that is similar to this, and it's honestly a better movie.

    I don't know, even with TV movies, I like to be in suspense...I don't want to figure out the plot right away.

    Awful lead actress

    Sarah Roemer has got to be the worst female lead I've ever seen. She is so simpering and weak. Very annoying to watch. Terrible film.

    I can't say anything good about the rest of the cast either. The child playing Jack is easily the best.

    The film is supposed to be about a strong female saving a child from being kidnapped but instead turns into a dreadful damsel in distress movie. The damsel, of course, has to be saved by the guy. A guy who is rich, powerful due to being rich, and famous. This results in said female losing all control of her life relying on the rich guy (and his staff) to save her and sort everything out for her. This film is insulting to all females!!!!!

    • Trivia
      Last Lifetime movie of the 2010s.
    • Goofs
      Jack had filmed Lynette with his father, but seems not to have recognised her as the one who attempted to kidnap him, and thus told the Police that. Also, when she came into the house, just before she was killed, one might think Jack would have said her name, or later told Casey that he knew who this woman was.
