A Mother's Revenge (2016 TV Movie)
7/10
Showdown at Niagara Falls!
4 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
In "A Mother's Courage" (a.k.a., "Accidental Switch"), one of our favorite actresses, Jamie "Lifetime" Luner plays Jennifer Clarke, a devoted mother who will stop at nothing to save her kidnapped daughter.

The excitement builds for Jennifer's daughter Katey, who is about to graduate from Carmouth College in Buffalo, New York. Her mother and father have arrived for commencement. But everything is thrown into disorder when Jennifer picks up the wrong suitcase at the airport.

A plot hole the size of a pothole from the Rust Belt exists in this film. After Conner kidnaps Katey and phones Jennifer to return the bag, all Jennifer needed to say was that she left the bag at the front desk of the hotel to be picked up by airport personnel. To retrieve his bag containing $50 million in bonds, all he needed to do was return to the airport and claim it.

Instead, Jennifer faces a race against the clock in order to meet the kidnapper's sadistic demands. Jennifer's race across the city allows the filmmakers to showcase some great location footage from Buffalo, including the AAA ball park, the museum, and the aquarium.

But all roads lead to Niagara Falls! It is there that the showdown takes place where Jennifer will defy all the odds to regain her daughter. The amazing Jennifer was still in recovery from her divorce and a minor breakdown. It was unfortunate that the kind father was collateral damage in the film. Completely on her own, Jennifer is given some good advice by a kind waitress, who tells her that she can only rely on herself in times of crisis.

Jennifer rises to the occasion to defeat the forces of evil with a bug bomb and her powerful inner resources. Only a little setback in the life of the stalwart Jennifer Clarke!
