This woman is just stupid!


I'm sorry, but nobody is stupid enough not to go to the cops immediately.

Quite right. But the "Lifetime" flicks and their kind would decrease in numberr by more than half if: as you suggest, someone imply went to the authorities tight away; or, if a lot of them didn't have police who were all "dumber than posts."

Either way, the stories would then be about as long as an SNL skit. I just wish they'd find some writers who could derive stories with a bit more reality and logic.

I am assuming the coments here are by people who are not old enough to realize this was a remake of an Alfred Hitchcok 1951 movie called Strangers on a Train with Robert Walker and Farley Granger.
Good movie with good acting. I just turned this one on for first time so have no comment to it yet....

Yes, that's almost like the characters in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Strangers on a Train' when Robert Walker's character kills the estranged wife of Farley Granger as the 'swap murders' plot. Farley Granger's character of Guy Haines didn't go to the police right away because he knew the police would jump to the wrong conclusion and assume HE has something to do with the murder of his wife since he has the motive.

Guy Haines explains in once scene, in the 1951 movie, that if he went to the police to report Robert Walker's character of Bruno Antony of killing his wife, they would immediately assume he hired Mr. Antony to kill his wife. The cops would say to him: "Mr. Haines, how did you get him to do it?"

The cops, arrogant and easily fooled, would never belive that Mr. Antony would have done it on his own, for if he would get caught, he would tell the cops that Guy Haines hired him to kill his wife. If the psycho Mr. Antony would go down, he would take Mr. Haines down with him.
