The Three Lives of Karen

This is an interesting mystery drama about a woman who seemed to develop three personalities: soon-to-be wife of a cop, missing wife of a businessman, and foster child of a bitter mother. This of course develops a crisis for the woman because of her impending wedding with the cop and her being already the wife and mother to another family. The riff and unknown situation create an interesting level of suspense.

The third personality of the foster child caught in an abusive relationship adds onto the intrigue of the movie. All the personalities were delivered in suffering and dramatic fashion, and actress Gail O'Grady gives a convincing performance. It's not multiple personality disorder, but three different lifestyles in one body unbeknownst to one another.

Most of the characters' performance weren't bad. The daughter character was annoying though. The plot was steady paced, though left some lose ends, and could have used more exciting moments. It's not a bad movie, though, to spend an hour and a half on a weekend.
