Early in "Deadly Double Cross" (a.k.a., "Precious Things"), a mother comforts her brokenhearted daughter by telling her that love is both precious and vicious. The film weighs those two factors in a grim episode of a police blotter.
Kelly Davies and Amber Mitchell both fell for the same man, a smooth-talking charmer named Alex Cosgrove. Driving a Corvette and laying on thick the romantic facade, Alex julggles relationships with multiple women.
Eventually, one of his jilted paramours retaliates, and Alex dies after being knocked down the stairs at the local reservoir. When young Amber Mitchell is arrested for murder, her mom Lisa moves into action as a private eye. She even mounts a storyboard on her wall at home as she sifts through the evidence.
The filmmakers kept the action flowing, especially in two gargantuan cat fights. One is between the two besties, Amber and Kelly. And the other is between their two mothers, Lisa and Heather. Like mother, like daughter.
The only evidence that Lisa has is that Alex was a "player." She has to find the "other woman" who was responsible for Alex's tumble down the stairs. There was quite a good climactic scene where the dramatic revelation occurred. The final takeaway was that the vicious side of love trumped everything that was precious in the lives and loves of four women.

Love is Precious and Vicious
Correction to texxas-1's review
I don't know what movie t-1 is confusing this with, but I can confirm that this was shot in 2017.

Not another lifetime movie
This was made in the year 2008 but for some reason in the UK it's being credited as being made in 2017 and under the title "my daughter is innocent". This is a so-so lifetime movie about 2 underage girls (who happen to be best friends) who get two timed by this older man. One of the girls later get arrested for murder when the guy mysteriously ends up in a coma with a fractured skull. Predictable and dull.
