Another Sunday.
Another Lifetime woman-in-jeopardy film.
But this one is two steps above your average Lifetime thriller.
The hot button subject matter is sex trafficking but writer/director Alex Wright tells a compelling story without falling into exploitation on one side and preaching on the other side.
The primarily female cast is good. Sydney Sweeney, a grizzled veteran ingénue, is compelling as the daughter. Brooke Nevin is suitably driven as the investigator.
Cynthia Watros has done light comedy well (Drew Carey Show), performed melodrama (Lost) as well as any actor could follow that plot, and can now add thriller lead to her list of actress skills. Her character was intense and fearless as the mother.
Olivia d'Abo having sparred with Inspector Goren on many an episode of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" gives a different, more chilling, level of evil as the bad guy. As close to full-blown Alan Rickman as you are going to get in a Lifetime thriller.
Give us more like this.

"Runaway" is several notches above your normal Saturday night, Lifetime, woman-in-jeopardy thriller.
First notch, Sherry Stringfield is excellent. She faded into the woodwork when part of the ER ensemble and multiple plot lines. She is front and center here as the lead with one story, her story, and you totally believe her performance.
Second notch, Alex Wright is a very good thriller director. He tells the story, without trying to show off. It is clean, it is crisp.
Third notch, the film looks good. Good visuals, good locations, I did not recognize anything from a thousand other Lifetime films. It is all believable and relatable for the story.
Only quibble (no spoilers), the high school women's tennis team shown in the background of several scenes should have been a lot better.
