So let's see, this half sister Bianca is in fact an accomplice to two murders by her deranged biological father, Brice who also happens to be Abbey's boss, and seems very fine with what her half sister did. And at the end of the movie they are all together by Adriana's pool drinking Champaign and giggling, and even Sophie whose dad was murdered because of Bianca's blabbering mouth eagerly suggests that auntie Adriana let auntie Bianca have her mom's old room! (shaking head in absolute bewilderment)

I CAN'T ANYMORE...

...with the Lifetime movies. I gave them up for a few years, and recently picked them back up to have mindless noise in the background, something I don't have to pay attention to, while I am working. They are starting to get to me again...especially if I'm already on edge. And why is there so much dialogue that is repeated? IIIII start answering for them so they don't repeat it AGAIN! Is it time filler? This one...this one!! AAAGH!! Everyone in the movie had the wonkiest mouth with dreadful voices to accompany it.

One of the worst movies Lifetime has ever made, which is really saying something.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

Horrible acting, horrible script, horrible dialogue. Choppy transitions. Unrealistic sequence of events. The Main Character is an attorney who is forced by the big boss at her new law firm to represent her younger Sister who has been accused of murdering their Father. That is such a major conflict of interest it would never happen in real life. The Main Character even says that it's illegal but her boss "doesn't care". It doesn't matter if the boss doesn't care lol. Illegal is illegal and it wouldn't fly in court, to the best of my knowledge. The Main Character's Daughter has heard her Mom talk about the case multiple times (if I remember correctly), and then goes along to the Mom's younger Sister's house but has no idea that she has an Aunt and is about to meet her? Do you know of any teenaged girls who would just follow blindly to a stranger's house and not ask whose front door they were knocking on? The Main Character's Ex-Husband is randomly brushing his teeth in his office and it is so out of place and weird. Why not just have him use the poisoned toothpaste in the bathroom instead of just injecting it into a random scene? The Daughter finds out the next day that her Dad was just murdered, then steals her Mom's car to go confront and accuse the Aunt of killing him. A short while later they're just sitting by the pool laughing and drinking wine like nothing happened? Hamming it up with the only person of interest in the case. The Mom shows up and doesn't even address the fact that the Daughter doesn't know how to drive but stole the car to go there and could have killed someone or died herself. She says "I'm sorry, pumpkin" about her Dad being killed and then it just goes to them talking and laughing and drinking wine by the pool again like nothing has happened!! His body isn't even cold yet! Maybe it's not the best time for a girls' night. You have to suspend reality so much just to get through this movie. Which is unfortunate because the main idea is actually decent. Watch at your own risk, or just put it on in the background while you play Animal Crossing, like I do. Other than providing a lot of cringe, some laughs, and plenty of eyerolls, it isn't really worth watching. Don't take it seriously at all or pay very much attention and you'll be fine though!

Complex whodunit and well acted!
Chartreuse110 November 2021
This was a very good thriller. Everett Cross, a.very wealthy man, just kicked the bucket and it is ruled as a homicide. He leaves behind 2 daughters, Abby and Adrianna who haven't seen one another in years. Abby is a lawyer who must defend Adrianna who is the lead suspect but no one has been charged, yet. But did she really do it? The action never drags and the plot keeping moving forward making this one far from predictable. Well acted, well directed. Highly recommended and would definitely watch again!
