    Too many twists

    There are too many twists and turns for its own good. At first I was quite relieved the woman who gets back her kidnapped baby girl years later isn't getting an imposter - too many of those from Lifetime. Then there are twists galore as someone is sabotaging the girl who is a teacher. Is it the jealous sister or is it the mothers rival politician? About 2/3 through got bored. You kind of know who it is from the beginning but then they throw a couple of red herrings.

    Not one of the better ones.

    Worth a watch.

    If you like Lifetime movies, you'll enjoy this one. No, it's not a '10'....but no, it's not a '1'. Anyone who says it's a '1' is lying, I assure you of that. There's nothing to get annoyed about; it's a good movie. Family drama, politics, scandal, accusations, sex, jealousy, etc....it's the type of Lifetime movie we all love. It doesn't hit the emotions enough to go above a '6' rating for me....but it had a good story with interesting twists & turns.

    Vindictive, Vengeful....Fluff

    I am not really moved by vengeful movies....Also, the hidden plot is just too elaborate. It requires too much from other people to be successful. The acting was decent. But it can't save this silly story.

    Power begets ...

    Something right? Or was it with great power comes ... quite a big fall? Or more risky business? Am I mixing things up here? Probably. So while I may have confused you, the movie may be able to do the same. I feared this was going to be by the numbers and that it did show me that, nope it takes different turns and twists.

    It's just a shame that towards the end it has no confidence of really going another route. And instead opts with the known thriller tropes and cliches. Still it is entertaining enough and the actors really give you their (or was it your) moneys worth. Seen way worse than this, though that doesn't mean I haven't seen better. Maybe with a bit more braveness ... we'll never know

    Vengeance must run in the family..

    For someone to rate this movie a 1 is truly more vindictive than the charachters portrayed in this film. This movie had a good supporting cast of actors, written very well and witty, Videography was on par great pacing from start to finish with a plot twist.. Now albeit the twist was pretty predictable but it still played out well and you definitely didn't feel cheated or confused by the characters actions.. This movie is precise and doesn't fiddle around wasting time like so many movies these days. Complaints about this movie are baseless. Sterotypes are created for a reason, The reason being a lot of people are perceived to be a type of person whether right or wrong. I would definitely say this is a film to sit down and watch. Theres alot more you'll like than hate.
