Escape from Love

This was a strange movie that started out nicely enough. David and Lauren are on their honeymoon in Atlanta when suddenly she gets snatched while they're out and about. And it's David's ex, Sadie, who has a twisted agenda, draining his financial assets he has and making Lauren go along with it by having her launder them to an offshore account so it's undetectable. But poor David doesn't know what happened to his wife and gets a PI who just happens to be on the scene to help him find her since the police are useless. Sadie is a psycho who swore revenge on David for breaking up with her. But does David ever put the pieces together and find his wife? You'll have to watch this one with an interesting twist at the end. I would recommend for a binge watch but that's all.

This movie was awful!!! The actress who played Sadie was over the top. The story sucked. The only ones who were good was the husband and wife. The budget of this movie must have been $30,000. It looks so cheap. I wonder did they use Tyler Perry's lot or studio to film these scenes. I didn't see the twist at the end; I was shocked. I can't believe the P. I. was behind this. Aren't P. I. usually men? I just didn't buy this woman as one. The actors who played the cops seemed so bland and boring like they were reading from a script and put no emotion behind it. What acting school did they go to? Just awful!!!

What in the confusing crazy story line did I just wasted 2 hours on this? A 7.5 ? Umm no. Possibly a 3-4 I gave it a 4. It was just to far fetched to believe. Although the crazy ex wife played a pretty good crazy ex. My husband and I both had a hard time trying to figure what in world was going on! But, I followed through with it, just to see the ending.

The last 30 minutes is the best part of the movie, the beginning had me wanting to change the channel but lifetime usually has good nightly movies. But, to each his own. I hope someone else can figure it out because it wasn't me. Alls well, that ends well :)

David Hasen (Yoshi Sudarso) is hounded by crazy ex Sadie (Olivia Jordan). His date gets attacked as she drives away into the night. It's a year later. David is marrying Lauren Albright (Sarah Borne) and spending their honeymoon in Atlanta. Private investigator Gina (Catherine Dyer) introduces herself to the couple. Lauren gets taken by Sadie and her henchmen, but the police is unsure whether it's a kidnapping.

Sudarso looks like one of those stuntmen turned B-action actors. This could be a B-action movie, but it's Lifetime. I thought maybe they could do a mystery where Sadie is the red herring. Nope. I keep thinking that David could be John Wick in another version of this movie, but he turns out to be a volatile idiot. The police isn't much better. This is an unusual mix for Lifetime. I don't know if this is good or not. Ok, it's bad especially with the writing. Eventually, the bad writing builds up to overwhelm my curiosity.

This was no Georgia peach (pun intended). Seriously this was just a load of rubbish. Diabolical acting, even more diabilical dialogue, which was constantly monotonous and everyone was softly spoken as if they were at a wake or memorial, all conversations were just above whispers at best. The Sadie woman was just hilareous. Her facial expressions and psycho outbursts were just funny. I hope the director, producers, script writers all get charged with fraud.

I cannot for the love of me write any more comments and observations, so I am going to just go on rambling till the six-hundred characters quota is reached.
