The Good Sister

Frowzy, pill-popping photographer Sonya Walger (as Kate) reveals some startling news. She has an identical twin sister, living in Buffalo. The girls were separated at birth, as part of a research project. Arriving on the scene looking chicer and sexier, "Linda" (also played by Sonya Walger) wants to meet her twin and begin a familial relationship. After they meet, "Kate" says she gets a bad feeling from "Linda" and decides she wants nothing more to do with the woman. But "Linda" won't give up. She contacts her sister's handsome defense attorney husband Ben Bass (as Jack McLennan) and begs for a second chance...

If you're guessing an identical twin of his wife, who attempts to look attractive, arouses Mr. Bass, you're on track. We learn frumpy wife "Kate" has issues with depression, also...

The situation in "The Good Sister" eventually becomes too dumb to recommend it highly. However, it could knock your socks off if you're not expecting too much. It begins as an intriguing idea, written by Pablo F. Fenjves and directed by Philippe Gagnon. The latter works well with Walger and Bass, as we decipher their marriage unraveling. In reality, the marriage has already begun to unravel, and the co-stars are good at conveying this without obvious exposition. In capable hands, Mr. Fenjves' characters start out flawed and believable. Unfortunately, "The Good Sister" turns into a silly and predictable fantasy.

This movie really held my attention. The actors were very believable. I loved the plot and storyline and the ending...wow! I didn't see that coming at all! Definitely worth a watch.

I really loved this movie. It has just about everything in it and it was believable. BEN BASS did an awesome job as the husband. His actions as the calm, controlled man and then the worried, stressed person who gets involved with the sister was seamless. I hope to see him in more movies. I watch him all the time in Rookie Blue and he is fantastic in that show. The woman who played his wife and her sister was good also. Lots of suspense and surprises made the movie also. This could be a real life situation too. Lots of women get depressed and act out things about their lives. A husband in this situation would also be tempted under the circumstances. Considering that her sister looked just like her but different was actually a compliment to her. Don't know why she wanted to create a situation where he husband strayed. Maybe it was her illness, insecurity or just meanness. Great movie!

This is an amazing movie! I loved every minute of it. I really did not expect it to end like that, I just did not see it coming. It has been a while since I've seen a movie as intriguing as this one.

Love watching Ben, he's the reason I've decided to see this, but Sonya Walger gave such an amazing performance in this movie. They are of course both great actors, the movie has such a riveting story and the ending is totally unpredictable and surprising. All I could say at the end was wow, just wow!

Make sure you watch this one, you won't regret it.

I highly recommend this movie to all the thriller enthusiasts.

I was not expecting much from this movie as it appeared low budget and I did not recognise any actresses/actors. It seemed a bit clunky at the start but I soon became enthralled by the storyline. There were fantastic twists and I look forward to watching this movie again and sharing with others that like thrillers/dramas.
