First off I thought initially Sandra Bullock was the mother to this girl not sister. It's not believable that she would be her sister. Also it looks like Sandra's face has changed so that was distracting to me. Some of the story is interesting but the whole sister and killing the cop thing wasn't explained other than he was there to evict them so it was hard to feel sympathy towards "Ruth". The script or casting is not perfect in my opinion and could have been much better to make this more believable. Some of the side stories and relationships can make it more interesting but overall I wasn't impressed with this film.
The only interest I have in this film is seeing where I grew up on film. It's pretty boring though like the other reviewer said. I always thought the Steuben County lake area would provide great locations and backdrops but unfortunately this film is not a great representation of what a good film could be in the Angola, Indiana lake area. Maybe one day I will come back and make my own film there!! Hopefully a better one- The plot and general storyline isn't interesting and not sure how this film got sold on Amazon Video but it gives me hope. If they would have had a decent script and been able to tell an interesting story it could have worked but this one is a snoozefest only interesting because of the locations and knowing the lake areas.
I think this movie is decent for Lifetime standards. I don't get however that they cast Gabby's "mom" as an actor that is 12 years apart from the actress that plays Gabby. It's very obvious she doesn't look like she would be her mom IRL. So idk casting could have been better!! I know sometimes this happens but it just seems kind of dumb and I am an actor and producer so I don't see how they cast it like this because it's not believeable. The acting was ok and I honestly haven't heard of this story until now but I like to watch these type of movies if they are done at least somewhat believable.
