Drowning in Secrets

I thought they all gave an excellent and convincing performance but in particular Chelsea Vale who plays Maya. The film started of a little slow but it came along once the main plot got revealed and after that things really sped up. It's an entertaining movie to watch with friends and family. Scary situation to be in so we were all holding our breathe to the end honestly.

Just when we think we have seen the worst LMN movie yet, another candidate raises its lowly head. In this case, we wonder who did the casting. Some of the worst case of emoting (trying to be polite, better word is hamming) we have seen. Starting with the Mark Harmon wanna be police chief, moving on to the perfect haired Peyton (seemed like his first acting job ever,) the hack mayor, it's like watching a high school play...long before the dress rehearsal.

This movie also falls prey to a favorite Lifetime plot fail- a hospital (sometimes ICU) where it seems no one is on duty at night. People with bad intentions can come and go at will and medical staff only show up when the bad deed is already done. Unbelievable!

Hopefully the cause of all the hack stuff (love the mayor on the ground after the car wreck) was an extremely low budget which meant that they could not hire a good director or able actors.

Don't waste your time.

In real life the "mother" in this film is 4 years older than her "daughter" the main character. The woman playing Misha is far too old for this role, and I just couldn't get past it. Typically I can deal with the standard lifetime cliches, but less than a half hour in and I couldn't stand another moment.

Lots of good things going on in this film. This did start of a little slow but once it picked up the pace it got really interesting with lots of plot twists and unexpected surprises. I'd recommend this.

I was thirty minutes in and still nothing really interesting happening. Guess that happens when you just come off of watching those three Lifetime "Predator Obsession" Lifetime movies with the psycho stalker and his pet sharks, then everything else is going to seem pretty boring for a while.

Still, most of the other Lifetime movies made this year have been pretty good.
