Amor traicionado

Given Lifetime's low bar for excellence, this was pretty good.

The school principal is accused of molesting a student. He visits the teacher, Tess Ford, (Jamie Luner) who had the girl turn him. He kills himself in front of her and her husband Roger. Unfortunately, during a couple of wild shots, their little boy is killed.

Now it's seven years later. Tess is active as a blogger and speaker, and Roger has divorced her. After a speaking engagement, a veteran (Brent Antonello) approaches her and wants to talk. They end up in bed together.

Well, anyone who has seen a Lifetime movie knows this guy is one fry short of a Happy Meal. He turns up all over the place and has rented the house across the street from her ex.

Her accusations go nowhere, and it seems like a police detective (Maurice Benard) believes the vet and not her.

I had forgotten how many soap stars appear in these films. Maurice Benard is the star of General Hospital, and Tava Smiley, who plays Tess' sister, was also in GH for a time.

Interesting twist.

Not bad

Some of the movie was predictable and some of it was not. For a tv movie it looks decent

The husband sitting there and hearing his wife slept with someone then hugging her and then calling the guy out for a liar then going home and saying I don't believe you (to wife) is true sometimes. However, not typical. Then look at all the blame on the military aspect on a younger male. He "latched onto something and that something was you"..."why don't you go take a bath with a nice glass of wine, no one will hurt you, okay?"...she does just so. This movie hurts men and women. Military men are predators and mentally unwell. Older housewives are victims to mentally ill young men. Husband's of housewife is obtuse because he must work. Let's put all the stereotypes in a movie. Ick.

Acting was very good. Made you hate Conall. I figured the husband was involved but the way they unveiled it was surprising even to me. Jamie Luner was outstanding (although her speech to Conall near the end was somewhat over the top.) This is one of the better LMN movies.

I wasn't expecting the twist towards the end. Good acting, good storyline. It held my attention the entire time. Pretty darn good movie.
