In "The Baby Swindler" (aka, "A Deadly Surrogacy"), Susie Ashcroft's desperation in having a baby leads her donate an egg to a surrogate so that she may honor her late husband Michael and have a meaningful remembrance of him in her child. But complications arise when the surrogate named Lorna, who was introduced to her by Susie's brother Andrew, appears to be leading a secret life.
The amount of lying that takes place involving Andrew and his wife Grace is on an epic scale. There is also a jaw-dropping depiction of the brother-sister relationship. Susie's trust is so deep and her worldview is so naive that she once thought Andrew and Grace were the perfect couple. The same could be said of Mr. And Mrs. Macbeth.
It was unfortunate that Susie's co-worker Helen became collateral damage when she was doing some digging into the past transactions of Michael's business and his association with Susie's brother Andrew. IMBd user CranberriAppl, who always offers incisive film commentaries, raised this query: "How many "friends" have to die so the protag can do what she (usually) wants?" Namely, instead of going to the police, Susie sacrifices her friend on the high altar of her own impulsiveness.
The literally over-the-top, melodramatic ending in a fracas on a rooftop has to be seen to be believed. A mad scramble ensues with the very pregnant Lorna deeply involved in the tussle. In the film's denouement, the debt-ridden liar Lorna is off to Southeast Asia. May viewers look forward to a sequel depicting the adventures of Lorna in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia?
