Description: Disheartened
since her husband’s affair, Grace Waters (Crystal Fox) feels restored by a new
romance. But when secrets erode her short-lived joy, Grace’s vulnerable side
turns violent.
Review: The story is about Grace Waters. She remains calm when her ex marries his
mistress and her son moves out. With the support of her best friend Sarah, she
tries to pick up her life and gets into a relationship. Shannon, a new husband
to Grace, soon destroys her life, her job and her sanity. She confesses to
killing her husband. Her young, inexperienced lawyer is skeptical and
determined to find out the truth.
While a film about power
women are really something I enjoy, Netflix still manages to pull another
old-fashioned thriller about “powerless women versus dominant men” out of the
top hat. That’s pretty remarkable, in this day and age. The film has a mediocre
cast, with similar acting (sometimes even really bad). Director Tyler Perry
also wrote the screenplay and shooting was completed within five days. As a
result, we get a long-winding film that is not very strong. Even though the
film wants to be original with some plot twist, you could actually see them coming
from miles away.
I lost attention half-way
through the film. It wasn’t really a good movie, at all.
