Rear View Mirror

Jessica has been in an abusive relationship with peter for some time now. We first see her with a black eye but the makeup deparment forgot to give her the actually black eye part. She sees her oportunity one day and leaves the house before he returns. She takes her child out of school and moves just like that in the middle of the school year. She gets a new job straight away and everything seems peachy. But of course peter is not far behind and somehow already knows where they are. Acting is misable in here and is nothing great theres not real grit to the action and nothing really thrilling. Rear view mirror is like a predictable cluster and its not great overall.

There is a lot of discussion as to what the WORST movie ever to air on Lifetime. This one has my vote. Imagine Sleeping With The Enemy, but without the good acting, script, or plot. This was just terrible in every single way (even the kid was annoying). The movie initially looked like a predictable, cookie cutter type of a Lifetime movie, but it certainly wasn't that! The eventual unveiling of the plot was so totally ridiculous, that it would be impossible to predict. Every actor in the movie was substandard. The sister seemed like she was the best actress in the film (which really isn't saying anything at all) but then, as her part in the film got more prominent- she was terrible too. If this had been a murder mystery, at least one of these unlikeable characters would have been eliminated.

Seriously, what was this ending? The movie started out good, I love an abused wife trope when she gets away and has to fight the husband. So, we were all good there! Despite there being some questionable plot things here and there I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The beginning was especially good.

And then the end happened. WHAT WAS THAT?? Why was there a plot twist in the last five minutes of the movie that made absolutely no sense? I mean seriously, it would have made more sense for the sister to be working with the husband to get the money than the insane crap they came up with. Good ole lifetime though. Gotta love the insanely bad ones. And this was it down to the cheesy, horrible happy ending. Lmfao.

Goodness. This was stressful, but yet I had to see what the hell happened with Peter. I actually felt bad for all the actors because this messed up their careers. I hope they can recover because I think everyone has potential within the right environment.

The worst to me was the forced acting. Abnormal. And their reactions, like getting a fright; numerous times. If the final video editing was done correctly this would've been avoided.

Sorry for the 2/10.

Why is it so hard to get a decent movie on Lifetime?

This is a movie like Enough with Jennifer Lopez and that's not saying much but this isn't even as good as that. It is a below tier, below tier movie. Not a B movie more like a C or D movie.

I used to love watching Lifetime movies. They used to have movies covering stories that were ripped from the headlines and they even had a few noteworthy actors play parts in them. These days it's just all a lot of really bad acting in really crappy movies. There's no real suspense or even a reason to be interested in the characters. They are literally movies that you just turn on in the background and not pay any attention to them.

It's sad.

I wish they'd bring back something worth watching.
