They were so nasty to everyone. I've seen this movie before and it came on Lifetime this week. I realized I'd seen it before once I saw the father cop's hair. I remember thinking a couple of years ago that no police chief would have that look as well as how Canadian everything was.
Anyway, having the daughter slap her father was so offensive to me. I hate over the top scenes like that. And ironically, they had her do it to him because had she done it to the other officer, the other officer should have taken her in. What makes it worse is the mom disrespecting him gives the daughter the license to do so, and the father ends up paying for it the most severely (shot and killed by the villain). And of course because she didn't sign the divorce papers, she is his next of kin and gets to handle his affairs without any reflection on her behavior towards him. It was very annoying the first time and even more so now.
The mom was SO NASTY. I generally like Erin K, but as I watch it again, I remembered how much I hated her character. Her entire demeanor in the movie was basically fueled by the fact that her husband (police chief) wanted a divorce and she was mad about it. Just watch the way she talks to him. So nasty and in front of their daughter too. I loved when he dressed Erin K's character down about her lack of self-awareness.
Another thing I hate about these movies is that the protag (Erin K here) is so self-righteous and is like a bull in a China shop demanding their way all the time. That type of character is rarely sympathetic, but they're always written to be right no matter what and have zero flaws.
It's a typical thriller in the vein of SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER .......... I Know What You Did Last Summer so it's watchable in that way, but you have to get past the mom and daughter's personalities to "enjoy" it.
I agree with another contributor, neither the title nor the description are accurate in terms of what the movie actually portrays.
