So painfully obvious

It was easy as pie to figure out that it was Caroline (the wife) who killed the Spanish tutor that had an affair with her husband Steven. Although the audience was supposed to believe it was either the husband or the Spanish tutor's ex boyfriend Nick, up until his death 30 minutes into the ending. They even tried to throw us off with Caroline's business trip, so that the audience would never suspect that it was her. But it just didn't work. It was so painfully obvious.

Lindsay Hartley, who's been an actress on Lifetime/LMN for years now, thinks she can direct films all of a sudden. Newsflash: she most certainly cannot! Because all the movies she's directed so far, have either been mediocre or downright awful. This one is no exception.

As for the acting, it was absolutely dreadful!

Why Lifetime keeps casting the actress that plays "Kimberly" in their other movies is beyond me, Since she cannot act at all, and her character was void of any real emotion whatsoever, while her boyfriend (or classmate) was the polar opposite. Overacting in every scene he was in (Britt, Caroline's sister, also overacted in her few scenes).

I'm usually not too hard on child actors in my reviews but the son, Jasper acted like a complete brat after that one day of the nanny being late to pick him up. He acted like that for the rest of the movie, which was so annoying.

Caroline's motive for killing Serena (tutor) and Nick was just so weak and lackluster. To prevent the neighborhood from gossiping about her husband's affair with her son's tutor??? That was probably the least of her concerns at the moment. Now two people are dead. And as usual, Laurie Fortier hardly showed any emotion during her whole motive speech.

Lindsay Hartley is better off just acting in movies rather than directing them, it's just not her thing imo. She should leave the directing to the professionals.
