Im going to protect my wife by taking her to the police, who are accusing her of being responsible for everything. Without sharing any of the information they told me. You would think he would say something because i mean... she's only his wife.... and he's only been saying it for the whole movie that he is going to protect her...

we know everything was in Ruth's head (an inferior twist thats been done a million times). During the second attack, she is thrown into the backseat of a vehicle, and taken deep into the woods outside of the city. But it turns out she drove herself out there, and then we can confirm she returned on foot to a gas station. So where is her car at? When did she get it back? She would have to walk back out there to get it, and return with it. Are we supposed to believe she walked miles and miles back out there to get her car to cover-up her story? Wouldn't her husband wonder where the car was? The writing here is awful because all they had to do was write Ruth being forced into the trunk of her own vehicle and driven to the woods by the assailants.

Its hilarious that during this second attack (which isn't real apparently) Ruth has an opportunity to scream for help when a pickup truck pulls into the woods. She sees this directly and doesn't make a peep. Why should we care about her if she doesnt even care to make an effort to be saved?

I'll be honest here, I'm not sure the real Ruth Finley even deserves a movie. She was a terrible person. Hiding behind her supposed "abuse" and "mental health" problems. She only stopped because she got caught.

No criminal charges, slap on the wrist. Hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted because of her bs.

This movie is basically one giant PSA about mental health. An awful one at that. Whatever message they were trying to convey i didnt feel it.

Ruth Finley is the original Sherri Papini. She led the way for people like her. Hoax/Frauds/Scammers.

Mine is the first review here, and I'll BEG anyone that follows to avoid spoilers. PLEASE. I watch a fair number of Lifetime ripped-from-the-headlines flicks, often preferring them to the actual headlines they're ripped from. I'm thrilled that I knew nothing about this one coming in. It's riveting, pulse-pounding stuff, driven by the best performance of Teri Hatcher's career. Stay totally focused on her, and you'll be in for quite a ride. I'm not going to talk about the plot at all, because to do so would be to risk deal-killing spoilers. Just watch this one for Teri. I don't think Lifetime movies ever get Emmy consideration, but Teri deserves one for this work.
