Disappointing and not believable. These type of fiction movies are supposed to have some semblance of yes it could happen in a marriage but this did not come close and the acting was poor by all characters. The Lifetime movies of the late 90's to early 2000's were better.
Boy those writers of Lifetime movies have cushy jobs - just slam some script together based on one of about six themes, don't read it over, and there you have it.
Okay, in this one, Marriage of Lies, granted, I didn't see the first few minutes. But here's what happened: Rachel, the wife (April Bowlby) of a teacher, Tye (Brody Hutzler) goes to the school where he teaches and asks to speak to him. She finds out he didn't come in. She leaves. She figures he needs some space as she did at one point during their marriage.
Her best friend insists that she call the police the next day. The wife tells the police that she saw him in the morning two days ago and he was on his way to school. The detective asks, how does he get to school? She answers, he takes his bike. We only have the one car.
The detective walks into the man cave and says, is this the bike he rides to school? Yes, she says. So obviously he never rode the bike to school even though she went to school looking for him and told the detective that the last time she saw him, he was on his way to school.
Since that happened in the beginning, it bothered me throughout the whole episode as I sat waiting for the detective to pick up on it. But then, this isn't Columbo.
Of course, Rachel comes under suspicion, particularly by the junior detective (Zachary Garred) who is sure she is involved in her husband's disappearance.
There is no mistaking April Bowlby's voice or enunciation. She is stunning as a brunette. She plays a woman on antidepressants (which the police feel is the sign of a raving maniac) who is attempting to stay calm and measured, which is interpreted as unconcerned.
The acting is okay here - Zach Garred is Australian and pulls off an American accent very well. This cast is a bit above the usual, also including Corin Nemec, Jimmy Deshler, and Eric Scott Woods.
All in all, typical Lifetime fare with a major plot hole.

Yet another ridiculous LMN movie with terrible writing and terrible acting. Leading lady is so bland she put me to sleep. A plain Jane look to her with blank expressions the usual long straight boring hair. Usually wearing jeans. No color to her look or personality. Where do they get these drama drolls? However, it was the plot that was the culprit in this not so tense melodrama. No names here, not worth the time. Probably a better radio program soap drama. You don't have to look at the actors. All about a disappearing husband and wifey is accused of murdering him. So we spend most of the movie listening to her say she's innocent. But nobody really cares. Including this viewer. Her acting left me cold and I didn't really care what happens to her. Will not reveal plot ending. I am going to force you to watch this like I was.
It was called good acting, the actress was acting bland and not emotional because her husband had her drugged up on the anti-depressants. She was doing that on purpose to act like a person on anti-depressants.
One thing I did find hysterical about the writing though is in one scene she says oh I can't drink because I am on anti-depressants but she is drinking wine in like every other scene of the movie.
