With all the ingredients for the makings of a decent movie, this still managed to fall a bit flat (and I have low expectations - am near-housebound, so more aware of 'lousy' than many).
Even with a fairly decent cast, the flat acting by acting-people that I've admired, the dreadful blonde wig (sorry, but I could never 'unsee' it, and it disturbed me!), the numerous 'coincidences'... and the ending explained nothing: how did they get away? Did the female detective apologise to her partner (dear knows that she needed to eat crow)? How did protagonist(a) & detective end up as a couple? Are they married?
But for the presence of Emmanuelle Vaugier (whom I generally enjoy) and the exemplary acting out of a loon by Jared Ager-Foster (Stephen), I'd give this film 'nul points' (a score well known by British watchers of the Eurovision song contest). But their efforts raise it to a 3.
