Who Tired My Desk Job?

[wes-connors · 4/10 · 24 November 2016]

With a title like "Who Killed My Husband?" there should be no surprise by the opening incident in this story. The doomed man goes off to buy a birthday cake for his pretty 14-year-old daughter Yasmeene Ball (as Chloe Howell). By the way, she has asthma. That might figure in the plot, later. At the same time Ms. Ball's off-duty detective dad is picking up her birthday cake, there is a robbery at the bakery. A thief, wearing a way-too-bright blue hoodie, commits the dirty deed. Hopefully the thief's escape route was rife with bright blue buildings because thieves don't usually like to wear easily identifiable clothing. They wouldn't let a kidnap victim have an iPad to play with, either...

Three months later, the deceased detective's blonde widow Andrea Bowen (as Sophie) gets tired in her desk job. Also a police detective, Ms. Bowen takes an undercover assignment which connects everything, but puts her life in danger. Her step-daughter is also threatened. As you might recall, she has asthma. This story is odd in that there really isn't a big moment when Ms. Bowen decides the wheels of justice are moving too slow and sets out to discover "Who Killed My Husband?" for herself. The title is not appropriate and she matter-of-factly discovers what happened. The cast and director David Winning are sneaky, but not enough. Bowen's lead performance is a nicely rendered.

Oh boy....

There are entirely to many cheesy scenes, lines and absolutely nonsense to list. Oh well, a paycheck is a paycheck no matter how awful the movie is.

I should really stop watching these day time movies

Now I have to write a certain amount of lines about one of the lamest movies where EVERY actor was diabolical and the writing was worse!

The lead actress was cringing to watch. She had no normal reactions or responses to anything.

The ending was worse. She couldn't hold a gun properly, the way she hit the man was cartoonish. Lol. And she kept running around like a headless chicken with no sense of direction!!

It was pathetic and hard to watch.

TIME SPENT THAT I WONT GET BACK....

I recently saw and reviewed another turkey - Save that Dance with Lexi Giovagnoli, and I thought it was this actress again, but no, its someone called Andrea Bowen, who could actually be a blonde version of Giovagnoli - look alike and the same non-acting skills.

Isn't it time that Hallmark/Marvista start investing in some decent scripts and casting actresses that can actually act, and don't look like clones of each other ?

RUN - DO NOT WALK......

AWAY FROM THE T.V. IF YOU THINK YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. TERRIBLE - JUST TERRIBLE. NO OTHER WORDS CAN DESCRIBE IT.

***1/2

[edwagreen · 9/10 · 21 October 2016]

The husband of a husband-wife police team is killed in a supposed bakery robbery. She goes undercover and soon discovers that the killing, during a bakery robbery, was related to his last investigation.

We have a strong story line here about a woman dealing with the loss of her husband and taking care of a very sick step-daughter, an asthmatic, who requires surgery to overcome her affliction.

A number of people in the firm are suspect and when the owner of the firm is killed in a car bombing, all hell breaks loose. Wait until you see who were the bad people here and they were having an affair to the bargain.

A taut, interesting thriller.

Uncovering the "Cyber Cash" Scam

[lavatch · 8/10 · 15 August 2020]

Douglas Howell was a detective working undercover to expose malfeasance in what appeared to be a legitimate business called "Cyber Cash." After Doug was murdered in a bakery while picking up a cake for his daughter's birthday, his wife Sophie, also a detective, took over the case, infiltrating the Cyber Cash operation in the guise of an accountant.

Poor little Chloe ("Sweet Pea") Howell is the asthmatic daughter of Doug Howell from a previous marriage. Now, Sweet Pea must deal with the loss of both her birth mother and her father. Both the step-mom Sophie and the little girl's grandmother provide loving support to the child who undergoes successful bronchial "thermoplasty" in a risky, three-treatment procedure.

A flaw of the film was in the depiction of the Cyber Cash operation. It was not clear what all of the workers were doing in what should have been a mom-and-pop operation. Why did they even need an office? Clearly, the books have been cooked, and the diligent Chloe becomes especially suspicious when the brains of the operation, Ryan Muir, dies when his car explodes.

My favorite character in the film was the private investigator Charles Gagnon, who adopts a number of disguises as he too looks into the shady dealings of Cyber Cash. Charles has Chloe's back at just the right moment in the film. There is unfortunate collateral damage when "Uncle Sam," the close colleague of Doug Hall, is killed by the unscrupulous villain.

While there were far too many characters and several extraneous scenes, such as Chloe's "mountain-climbing" exercise, "Who Killed My Husband?" ("Under Fire") had a good central character in Chloe and the strong motivation of the heroine to succeed to preserve the memory of her husband to protect her little Sweet Pea.
