When I saw this was a Canadian production, I so wanted to enjoy it. I actually really like Shannon Doherty, and her performance was quite acceptable for a made-for-TV movie.
However, this film is so chock-full of inconsistencies and impossibilities, that it makes one wonder how the writers were actually capable of getting jobs in the first place.
It would be pointless to enumerate the countless errors in the plot and character development. Suffice to say that the writers know nothing about the judicial system, neither in Canada nor the US (come on, awaiting trial yet placed in the general population of a prison with all the hardened criminals?).
The police are incredibly incompetent, as they can only be in badly-made TV shows.
The main character (Doherty) at no point confides in either her husband's lawyer, nor her long-time friend the police officer, and this before any of the "don't talk to anyone, or else..." aspect of the plot gets going.
And only in this sort of movie do women go, unarmed and alone, into dangerous situations to face possible serial killer/rapists.
Suffice to say, even on a boring week-night, with nothing on the boob-tube, avoid this stinker of a rental. I'd even go so far as to say, avoid it if it comes on free-TV.
