The bar for Lifetime thrillers is incredibly low, but this is a good start to the year. We all know it won't last, but if we can get ten movies this year of this caliber or better, that will be progress. While working from home, Lifetime (and Hallmark) movies have become my background noise during the day instead of waiting for the weekend. This is an easy watch. Lifetime had a similar movie with this plot in 2021 and I would say this one is much better (if I remember the title, I'll edit it in).
I wouldn't say there are twists and turns, but the movie is executed well. I like Kate Watson and Anna Marie Dobbins is improving, so the movie doesn't suffer from the typical Lifetime cringe and camp. All of the characters have a purpose and there's an actual beginning, middle, and end to this story.
No spoilers but one of the character's involvement, when they reveal their part actually makes sense w/o being the typical Lifetime trope. You'll see what I mean.
Watch once and decide.
