It's like a bad soft-porn movie but you don't even get the porn! The two main characters ARE attractive (another point; why on earth would the husband want to get rid of Melanie? She's smart and pretty, doesn't make sense) but the dialog is pretty ridiculous and all the characters seem to be total half-wits - like I said; kinda like a soft-porn movie. It's like, I WANT the convict to get caught and Melanie to be subjected to lifetime of marriage with the beyond creepy husband. Shame...it totally missed as potentially entertaining 'guilty pleasure'. What's interesting is the main character, Sarah Wynter, is actually a decent actress but as in this case it goes to show that talent can't always withstand sloppy directing.
Addendum: Okay, I'll concede that I may have been a bit rash above. It's more like having a Twinkie; it's pretty crap but you find you can't stop eating it :).
