How sad is this?

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I thought that this movie was kinda exciting, not quite the acidic mouthful another person shot down the movie with disdain.
I do not generally review TV movies, but I liked this one.

In the opening minutes, attractive brunette Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (as Cathy) leaves her car and enters a house. Very quickly, we learn there is a dead woman inside. Also quickly, the police lead Ms. Wood out of the house. "I did it," she confesses, "I killed her." The opening credits end… Two weeks earlier, in a small Vermont town, we meet a much happier Wood. A newlywed, she is moving into a nice new home, with young teenage son Jacob Horsley (as Billy). He is from a previous, unhappy marriage. Wood's uber-sexy groom Shawn Roberts (as Riley Coulter) is out of town on a business trip. A sales representative, according to his business card, Mr. Roberts is not often home...Wood befriends blonde neighbor Zoie Palmer (as Tora Weeks), who brings her a house-warming pie. Yum. They go shopping. Roberts surprises Wood by appearing, unannounced, in a local jewelry shop. He claims to be buying Wood a surprise gift. Wood continues to find life with Roberts suspiciously strange. While her husband provides logical explanations, we're pretty sure something isn't quite right. We already know there is going to be an arrest. For another thing, the movie is titled "Her Husband's Betrayal". He also looks more like a professional model than whatever he's supposed to be doing for as a "sales representative." Roberts doesn't seem so at first, but he turns out to be perfectly cast...The original plot for this TV movie, by Russ Chasney, is quite good. Everything hearkens back to a past event, cleverly, and there are some nice touches. However, the story falls apart around one of Wood's stronger scenes, with a helpful truck driver (Gene Mack). Otherwise, she dons a baseball cap, wears stunning make-up, and runs around the country like she's "Batgirl". Wood seems too young and beautiful for her role. Sympathetic officer Mark Bendavid (as Dan Gresham) should have been made stronger, perhaps appearing prominently in the opening (a cheat). We don't know where "Billy" is for much of the time and it's surprising to see Wood risk his life by befriending a homeless stranger.**** Her Husband's Betrayal (2013-08-02) Ron Oliver ~ Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Shawn Roberts, Marc Bendavid, Zoie Palmer

I hope that sometime you can release a copy of the above into Western Australia for hire. The downloads in my district are woeful, all the outlets here are not taking this movie. Cant you find say Amazon taking a chance to distribute this movie. There seems to be a reasonable chance that this being her 5th movie, there would be some interest in her work. As far as I am concerned her character in Bold and the Beautiful TV series is portrayed as a much better actor than any of the other principle actors which is why I am interested in whether she can get into features rather than have the rubbish that is B and B. Her words can work without the stupid actions, and without having to bow down to the lead Lady who is so bad she deserves to stay in the show. JaquiMac should have better stuff than this to get where she deserves.

Just saw this and thought it was so bad. Leading lady, Jacqueine Maciness Wood is awful. Over dramatic and quite boring to watch. And the story is stupid with this dame running around with a gun threatening all around her and never gets caught. That's the movies for you. She not only escapes a police station loaded with cops but threatens one cop, well played by Boomer Phillips, to get out of the way. She has the gun pointed right at him. Seems she's running around trying to find her child supposedly kidnapped by her husband, played by Shawn Roberts.The men fare better in this tripe than the women. It is interesting watching this actress work. All about herself. She doesn't listen to other actors. If she got rid of all the face make-up, maybe there'd be a performance somewhere.I kept hoping she'd get killed or disappear. Walking around looking like some smart b..ch always invading homes of others and nobody stops her. Goes through people's files, mail, you name it. We all want her gone, she's that bad. No warmth or feelings. One emotion - boring.Watched this again and still unimpressed with Wood. Wood is wooden. You want someone to catch her and put her away. Running around in a baseball cap as disguise. I was hoping when she finds her son, the son would want her to stay away from him.I turned the film off near the end when she shot the other woman. Nobody stops her although I cheered when the other woman hit her in the face with the gun and knocked her down the stairs. Yeah, for once she loses.
