A script devoid of realism and limp, lifeless direction sink this made-for-TV movie.
The subject matter is certainly fertile enough. The actors have ability. However, the script is suspenseless. The full-time use of a narrator prevents situations from building. There is no need for comic relief because (much needed) plot tension is not allowed to build to any measurable degree.
Production values are flat. The lonely tones of a few simple key strokes on a piano make up the "dramatic" background score. The music, like this movie, is simplistic, lifeless and boring.
