So bad and I generally like Julie Benz

This movie was terrible and the "twist" was obvious. I ended up skipping ahead to get to the "climax."

Another thing I hate about these movies is how extreme they are. And if you end up sitting through this, you will ask the same question. I won't give any spoilers, but this seems like the most bizarre set of events given the plot set up. I wish the "twist" was more creative.

Julie Benz in TV movie

Cyber crime cop Zoey Loson (Julie Benz) and her police detective husband Barry (Rick Ravanello) live in the suburbs with their young son. She spots Barry cheating on her and the rocky relationship deteriorates. A mystery figure sets their home on fire killing her son and sets her up for the crime.

It's a Lifetime TV movie. It needs to get to the fire sooner. The first half needs some compressing. It's not much of a mystery. It does have some minor twists. It is mostly a TV movie of the week, but it does have Julie Benz. At least, she keeps this interesting, but there isn't much more than that.

Typical Lifetime Movie

This was the typical Lifetime movie. The heroine is in trouble and fighting for the truth. The acting was not very good. The main character played by Julie Benz was bland and her best friend was irritating. Actually, I don't know if it was the actors, or the script, or the directing. Probably all of the above. It was a 'B' movie at best. Nothing new in the plot, delivery or outcome. I actually figured it all out half way through. There also was a little side plot (criminal cases) that I didn't quite understand the outcome of. It left me with a few questions. I wouldn't really recommend this movie, unless your sitting around the house and want background noise, while you clean or work on your computer, because you don't really have to give this your complete attention. There are much better movies out there.

A truly horrible ending

If the rest of the movie wasn't bad enough, they had to tack on an ending which was just horrible on so many levels.

Lifetime movies are so insepidly brutally constructed and this is among the worst I;ve seen from them.

The logic is beyond stupid and the ending so far fetched that I wonder who is getting paid off by whom.

Did the writers pay off the producers to get this made?

Did the person typing such drivel have enough money to pay off a production company just to get this horrible thing developed?

It's bad - and it's giving Vancouver a bad reputation for making gargabe films that get attached to the Lifetime Movie Network - and this is evedence of it.

Direction was bad, story was bad, locations were bad.

It's hard to fault a Lifetime movie for being predictable since that is a part of their charm you feel smart and it's relaxing. But this movie is slow. When things finally come to a head you wish you hadn't spent so much time watching this.

Goofs
The fire was supposedly due to Zoey smoking in bed, yet the flames were elsewhere in the house. If the point of origin was in her bedroom, then she would not have survived. Additionally, modern carpeting is flame retardant so a fire could not have started as shown.
