Well, this was LONG for a tv movie. The first half was trying to set the stage for the twists and turns at the end. But like another reviewer wrote, you really had to bear through those first two hours because Laurel was awful and you wanted to hate her. Having seen so many crime shows I figured that she was deliberately being nasty to her BIL who wasn't even charging her for his legal services because, hmm, what would motivate a woman to act like this? So I thought, she's obviously protecting her son. And the pieces quickly fell into place, especially when we found out that Melanie was pregnant. Hmm, who could possibly be the father of the baby that would REALLY piss off Laurel? You guessed it, and so I was just waiting for the big reveal that the son was the father of her unborn.
But then it got tedious, with side stories about witness protection, the ex-husband Senator caught up in corruption, and can anyone please write a review and explain to me why the hitman was still after Dennehy at the end, after blowing up a post office????? I didn't understand that at all. And for a hitman, he was a terrible shooter even with the red dot light.
It kept me watching to the end, and was interesting to figure out the twists. It is long, but I'd recommend it if you're sick on a Saturday and will be in bed all day anyway.
