La fille cachée

Elizabeth Marshall (Paige Turco) is the DA running for Governor of Pennsylvania. Lucy Pierce (Brittany Allen) claims to be her stolen baby Victoria. A DNA test confirms it. The other daughter Terri (Dominique Provost-Chalkley) is suddenly cast as the black sheep of the family with Lucy as the perfect daughter. Lucy is also good for the campaign. It becomes a story of jealousy, revenge, and political trickery.

At first, I assumed this to be another rather whatever Lifetime drama. Lucy is the good girl and Terri does crazy jealousy stuff. It ends in a murder attempt. Blah. Blah. Blah. I have to say I did not see the twist coming. It's great. They really got me. The ending's wrong and that kinda sucks. With more drama in the first half and a better darker ending, this could be a fun thriller drama. It isn't able to exceed its Lifetime DNA but the stolen baby mama gave it a good idea.

If you like Lifetime movies, you'll enjoy this one. No, it's not a '10'....but no, it's not a '1'. Anyone who says it's a '1' is lying, I assure you of that. There's nothing to get annoyed about; it's a good movie. Family drama, politics, scandal, accusations, sex, jealousy, etc....it's the type of Lifetime movie we all love. It doesn't hit the emotions enough to go above a '6' rating for me....but it had a good story with interesting twists & turns.

For someone to rate this movie a 1 is truly more vindictive than the charachters portrayed in this film. This movie had a good supporting cast of actors, written very well and witty, Videography was on par great pacing from start to finish with a plot twist.. Now albeit the twist was pretty predictable but it still played out well and you definitely didn't feel cheated or confused by the characters actions.. This movie is precise and doesn't fiddle around wasting time like so many movies these days. Complaints about this movie are baseless. Sterotypes are created for a reason, The reason being a lot of people are perceived to be a type of person whether right or wrong. I would definitely say this is a film to sit down and watch. Theres alot more you'll like than hate.

Something right? Or was it with great power comes ... quite a big fall? Or more risky business? Am I mixing things up here? Probably. So while I may have confused you, the movie may be able to do the same. I feared this was going to be by the numbers and that it did show me that, nope it takes different turns and twists.

It's just a shame that towards the end it has no confidence of really going another route. And instead opts with the known thriller tropes and cliches. Still it is entertaining enough and the actors really give you their (or was it your) moneys worth. Seen way worse than this, though that doesn't mean I haven't seen better. Maybe with a bit more braveness ... we'll never know

This is a low-budget tv movie that holds on to the suspense to keep the audience focused and it is successful in that in fact. Though, the dialogues are weak and the flow could be more elaborate. I do not think it is stereotypical and rather the movie highlights that one captures the good and the evil at the same time and that time sometimes matters a lot.
