Sometimes I feel like slumming, and I watch one of these Lifetime-type movies just out of curiosity. This one has a decent premise, but it rates a 10 on the implausibility meter. This is one of those films in which you just sit there and count the absurdities, shaking your head in disbelief that a screenwriter was actually serious about this. Or maybe he wasn't....?
A women discovers that her husband, thought to be killed in a fire 10 years ago, has recently turned up dead in an adjacent state. Apparently, he faked his death and has been living off of money he embezzled from his company. The cops get involved.
The woman goes to the crime scene in the woods where her husband's body was discovered. She immediately finds her husband's pendant on the ground. The cops have had dozens of crime scene techs all over this spot, and they missed it?
She goes to his house, wanting to look for clues. The cop at the house says he can't let her disturb anything in a death investigation. She begs him to let her in, so he shrugs and says OK. She opens drawers, riffles through letters and papers....Give me a break. No cop on earth would allow this.
She hacks into her husband's bank account online and finds that he withdrew half the money he embezzled, $5 million. So the guy embezzles money and puts it in a bank account? Did a 10 year old write this?
She gets romantically involved with the insurance investigator who is involved in the case. She does nothing to verify who he is. You can guess the rest.
I just expended a lot of words on a grade Z film that is so stupid, it will insult your intelligence. Perhaps I can save some viewers from wasting their time.
You're welcome!
