I can't stand reading reviews that offer a reader the entire movie plot. Congratulations if you are this person. You have managed to ruin the entire film for a potential viewer. I was really saddened to see the remarks about Jacqueline Macinnes Wood and her acting or lack there of. I have to say I don't feel the same sediment. I think this role was quite a change from her role on the Bold & Beautiful as Steffi Forrester. She did a great job of portraying a woman scorned and a mother that would go to the ends of the earth to find her child. Alot of you were commenting about her make-up being too perfect as she was running around everywhere. I don't think it was overdone. She is very fair to begin with and has very porcelain like skin. (If you remember the briefcase and the pictures of the other women you should recall they were all very beautiful, not frumpy or plain Janes if you will.) I believe she did a great job considering how fast the film revealed it's plot. I didn't care for Riley Coulter, Carl Higgins, or whoever his character was. He didn't capture a man that could attract that many women. . I didn't think it was the worst movie ever but I do believe it's one of the same plot lines that LMN uses over & over. The couple is happy at the beginning, something goes awry, someone plays the detective, they have a good/bad guy scene at the end, and the bad person gets shot, and either dies or is taken in to police custody. Just saying.

(2013) Her Husband's Betrayal MYSTERY THRILLER

Made-for-TV now available for rental which upon watching this, is like something coming out of the 'Hallmark' channel, centering on a particular situation. It stars Jacqueline MacInnes Wood as she plays Cathy Coulter, a proud wife of Riley Coulter (Shawn Roberts), except that, he may not be what he appears to be, as he attempts to blackmail her by kidnapping her son from her first marriage. It almost borderlines to soap opera territory, but it's still interesting to say the least which, we find later has something to do with life insurance policies.

In "Her Husband's Betrayal," a bigamist is taking out life insurance policies on his stable of wives. After murdering the wives, he collects on the insurance. But the man who goes by the name of Riley Coulter has met his match with his latest wife, Cathy, who refuses to sign the life insurance policy, then seeks to expose him as a fraud.

The filmmakers were successful in keeping up a fast pace, developing lively dialogue, and presenting a set of interesting secondary characters. My favorite was a wise truck driver who assisted Cathy in her time of need. In the understated scene, the wise trucker recognized that the catch is in place on gun she is holding, rendering it ineffective as she is pretending to threaten him, He then instructs her on its proper use!

The unsung hero of the film is the kind cop Dan Gresham, who never believes the official story that Cathy killed one of her husband's ex-wives. With the assistance of Cathy, Gresham slowly pieces together evidence pointing to Riley's exploitation of women.

The actress playing the role of Cathy was terrific. We saw her resolve develop to free her son Billy from the clutches of Riley (a.k.a., Carl Higgins). Carl was the son of an insurance scammer, who taught his boy the tricks of the trade. After a tragic fire in a school in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Carl used the names of the diseased as his aliases. He then preyed upon lonely, single women to tie the knot and disposed of them with the expectation of collecting on the insurance.

Early in the film, Cathy finds a new friend in her neighbor Torah. But something seems fishy about Torah when she deletes a set of photos from Cathy's camera. It will not be until the closing scene when we learn the truth about Torah. In that climactic moment, the film's major theme is fulfilled in the courage displayed by a mother who expresses the undying love of her child through her heroic actions.
