Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it on Lifetime. I can not understand how the husband just walked away and I still cry when Ted yell's at his father while visiting at the jail. I wish the dad would have served his entire 4yrs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member (Spoiler Alert) He got caught, so that made me happy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining and good plot idea but totally unrealistic how carried out. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member What kind of man does something like this to his family? Elizabeth was so brave and strong - I couldn't imagine going through all that she did. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Over-bearing,and cheaply made. Dull story and over-shadowed acting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member seen it as a Sunday afternoon movie on the TV Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
