Woman on the Run

A real waste of an idea with real potential. You could drive a semi through the plot holes in this movie. Very disappointing.

First, Sarah Butler is the main character. If you like watching Sarah run, fight and hide, you would like this movie. The story is well told. And the premise is… If nobody knows you. How could you probe your identity? The society also tends to choose who you are. Who is the good or the bad girl. Would you use questionable methods to find the truth? I didn't like much some action scenes, for moments I supposed to watch a very low budget movie. But the movie survive with a brave mom and a surprising little girl. Give it a chance. Enjoy thinking haven lost your identity. What would be like, if only the people you know is against you, and you're lonely crying for help?

As it happens to be a TV movie, one should not be too stern when assessing. Surely, there is plenty of illogical "logic" in the rather improbable story. The motivation of the antagonists successfully eludes my capability of detection.

What makes WOTR worthwhile for me after all, is the presence of Sarah Butler. An accomplished actress, imbued with stamina and character - let alone her stunning beauty - who is ignored by major producers and filmmakers. Why? I truly do not know.

Therefore it is pity the only significant motion picture she appeared in is the remake of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. Here she proved how refined her thespian skills are - her intonation and enunciation especially. But, the thing is, ISOYG is a film per se unwatchable for many.

To sum up, I hope things will change and Sarah Butler will be better spotted and garner more attention. Looking forward to A movies starring this promising talented actress.

AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.

I am in the process of watching this movie and I can NOT get past the fact that this woman has absolutely NO childhood, high school college, neighborhood friends, distant cousins, old church members, old boyfriends, cashiers at a store....ANYONE who can vouch for her true identity. Can anyone just show them an old yearbook? Yes, she found her old college professor who is coming in town to tell the detectives her true identity and this is her only hope. Bless your heart, Lifetime, these unbelievable plot lines are just outrageous. But we still watch. :)
