What people are saying
- JPV852★ 6/10
Decent thriller that at least had some okay twists. It's definitely one of those guilty pleasures as it is pretty much an R-rated version of a Lifetime movie with all a soap opera like plot. Nothing mind-blowing and a bit forgettable, but I did like both Ealy and Swank in the leads. 3.0/5
