Missed opportunity for amazing story

Warning: Spoilers
OMG this lifetime movie could have been so good. I love lifetime movies, but this one was truly disappointing.

(1) It took me three days to get through the first hour of this film, which is unusual for me. The first hour was so boring, post the child kidnapping that was never resolved. I kept waiting for something to happen, but there was nothing that was able to get my attention. A stalker, overbearing sister, who has sex with random men in a bar.

(2) The sex scenes in the bar were pointless, added nothing to the plot, and were somewhat disturbing. Is she a sex addict that she needs to meet randoms for sex? I believe every scene in a movie should have a purpose in advancing the plot and as such this scene should have been cut out and replaced with important scenes the movie never shows (e.g., the three girls murders and conclusion to child kidnapping). .. Honestly, no one has sex in bars, where people can walk in on them having sex. A bar is not going to have a hallway for people to go have sex in privacy with the doors locked. At least make it a strip club with a private room or bathroom where they can lock the door to make it realistic.

(3) The beginning 5-minutes was gripping. I was so curious about the outcome of the child's kidnapping and so disappointed when there was no conclusion to that story. We know they visit her grave and someone took her, but that is it. I was hoping the serial killer killed the little girl, but no.

(4) We learn nothing about the other girls' murders. I suspect the movie was low budget, so they did not want to bring additional actors to play the three girls that were murdered, but that would have been more interesting than watching Maddie have sex with random men, stalk and annoy her little sister.

In the end, the movie is about a sex addict named Maddie who uses a random man she met online for sex. She nearly gets her sex man killed and actually gets her male colleague killed for information about her sister's boyfriend who she stalks like a psychopath with no life.

(5) Too many wasted scenes of boring dialogue. It took me three days to watch the movie. We never get closure to what happened to their little sister.
