Two Wrongs

Although this made for television film had a few scenes where the characters overacted and they certainly embellished their key scenes as if life or death were imminent, the overall storyline was well worth the watch. I would compare it to a seven (7) course meal for a party of twelve (12) where each of the twelve (12) dinner guests did not enjoy every one of the seven (7) courses served, but all would agree that the overall meal was more than satisfactory.

I especially liked the latter half of the film with some unexpected twists in the storyline which more than made up for some of the over dramatized scenes by some even less than realistic acting. If you can just try and ignore the first half hour of the film in which the director Tristan Dubois certainly did a poor job in building the audience's emotional involvement and suspense, the remainder of the film with its twists and turns did in fact peak my own and Mrs. Shullivan's interest.

I give the film a decent 6 out of 10 rating

Starts off ok for the first few minutes and then rapidly descends into farce with an unlikely chain of events and unlikable characters. The mother and her mother have all the charm of homicidal maniacs without the brain power to reason. The plot is ridiculous - great plan, kidnap a child then demand its mother commit an unspeakable crime all the time bargaining she won't inform the police! What could possibly go wrong?! Don't waste your time on this one.

You can imagine how it does feel you don't find your kids . This movie is a great example . Love you mom

I swear this movie is designed for emotional people who have very little logical capacity.

The plot makes no sense. The point of extortion and kidnapping is to get the victim's family to do something, that the kidnappers themselves cannot do. In this plot, they can do it themselves but just want someone else to do it essentially (which makes no sense).

Of course the title suggests "two wrongs... don't make a right"... but that is absolutely silly. Self-defense, war, criminal justice, these are all committing acts against another human to correct a WRONG by doing something that is usually WRONG. So what you do doesn't matter unless it's particularly heinous but WHO you do it to, does matter.

Behavior itself is not immoral. Context of the behavior and the perpetrator and victim can make something moral or immoral. If a mom bear kills the wolf threatening its cubs, that mom bear is not immoral.

The only person talking sense in this movie, is the man who did the worst crimes possible...and the old mother who's too weak to just do things herself. A perpetrator who's a coward.

It's just a bizarre drama for the sake of drama.

Worth a watch if you like a decent crime thriller. Decent acting mixed with thriller plot twists. An overal worth it watch if "catch the bad guy" is your type of movie.
