Absurd and unconvincing with no surprises, suspense or laughs.

Overall I thought Ashley Scott's performance was pretty good and convincing. As for the plot, I thought it was just too far-fetched. A whirlwind romance starts while she's away on business. and by the looks of it even though she's finished the business she had gone to Miami for, she still decides to stay in Miami and gallivant around with cowboy. Even the tearful pleas of her son for her to return home are pushed aside with just one simple question from her sister: do you need me to come home? And she replies no. I mean what kind of a mother would not just jump on the first flight back to her son? Terrible story-line! I gave it a six for Ashley's good performance.
Too Good of a Heart

The surname of William Jonathan Goodhart and his wife Liz says it all. They are both decent people with big hearts. When Liz purchases the gift of a trip to Arizona for Bill, he is thrilled with the opportunity to play cowboy at the Hidden Valley Ranch. Unfortunately, his horse is spooked by a rattlesnake, and he is thrown and dies. But was this entirely an accident?
One of our favorite actresses, Ashley Scott, stars in the role of Liz Goodhart. As a grieving widow, Liz is taken in by the charm of Travis Brown, one of the cowboys working at Hidden Valley Ranch. Miss Scott conveys the vulnerability of her character that allowed her to be seduced and duped by a rogue. She even foregoes a pre-nup agreement when she marries Travis.
At first, Travis appears to be a devoted husband and surrogate father to little Tyler, taking him fishing and schooling him in the art of being a cowboy. But it will not be happy trails when a police detective shows up at the home of Liz in Sonoma with the news that Travis is a suspect in the death of her ex-husband.
The film was successful in the location footage of Miami and the wine country of Northern California. The melodramatic conclusion was compromised only by the insertion of an extraneous character, an extra girlfriend of Travis that he seemingly picked up in Sonoma. She is a convenient plot device to help Travis escape from the mountain, where he believes he has successfully murdered Liz and Tyler by sabotaging the brake system of their car.
Still, the performances were outstanding, and the theme of having a good heart was well developed. Scammers like the gigolo Travis Brown are all too common today, especially with internet dating!!!

An easy film to watch
bushcraft-1571420 September 2022
A good film for an afternoon watch, acting is good and plot is easy to follow if not a bit predictable in the end.
The two main actors do look a bit like Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones so Double Jeopardy is a good film to watch after.
Have read some other reviews that call this a bad film or worse but it is worth watching the acting is good, even the boy who plays the son does well but as I said the plot is predictable and the end is really quick and could have been done better but all said and done it's a good watch, not sure what else to add if you are looking for a blockbuster type of film then this is not the film to watch so watch with an open mind and not massive expectations this is just a good simple film to watch and enjoy so ENJOY.
