Her Husband's Secret Life

I saw this for the first time tonight on the LMN Network, and I thought it was an O. K. time waster.

As per usual, this was held in the "Lifetime Universe" were all sorts of weird situations happen, such as:

1. The wife's character being so naive as to do her husband's dirty work by paying the blackmailers.

2. The wife being accused of murder based on FLIMSY evidence. (Lifetime should consult with the HLN Network for some credibility).

3. The husband being so reprehensible - definitely a SCUMBAG!!

Note: There were several scenes depicting violence against women (including what appeared to be rapes), which I found disturbing,

6/10.

Rick is a successful writer married to June who is a budding writer but someone is blackmailing him and wants $50K in exchange for silence but why? Rick asks June to make the dropoff and she ends up finding the blackmailers already dead with herself as the prime suspect since Rick ends up framing her and she is charged with the deaths. But June has a plan to clear her name and discovers Rick has another life. Strong Canadian leads head up this cast. Highly recommended!

Why insult your viewers with such ridiculously implausible movies where the women are always made to be incredibly stupid?! Not even an animated film would be this bad when it comes to reality.

Oh, dang it! My channel just changed before it finished? Maybe the wife, who is now only hiding under a cap, could figure it out in the manner she became a detective out of the blue, after thinking it was smart to pay off an unknown extortionist?? Lol.

Btw, what's with Lifetime Channel always hiring unattractive POC to play detectives, especially the women? Both actors were obviously hired based on their appearance, which I totally find, in and of itself, very suspicious in a demeaning type of way.

If this movie weren't so bad it might be laughable - but it's not even worth laughing at the laughable. I started watching it on the strength of Dan Payne as one of the cast. When wading through the plot became tedious I used mute and fast forward but even that wore thin. Give me some real plots to gnaw on- like Agatha Christie or Murder She Wrote. There's a good reason why her work has stood the test of time. Although a sometimes fan of Dan Payne, I just couldn't get through this production. A handsomely rugged presence that commands attention, if for no other reason than his stature, isn't enough to hold my attention in a very poor and unrewarding movie.

I'll give any Lifetime movie 7 stars that doesn't start with a bunch of young blondes drinking wine and small-talking about absolutely nothing for fifteen minutes.

It also had the cleanest, clearest sound and dialogue I've heard in a show in a long time.

Of course it's still about people making unbelievably bad life or death decisions.
