Awful
This was a terrible movie: the story line was unbelievable, the acting was stiff & unbelievable! The mother's and daughter's acting was really bad! There was no real emotion! If a mother found out her son was gambling and in deep debt, there's no way she would smile and softly say it's going to be okay! There would be screaming and threat of consequences and getting professional help for him. It was like the daughter was sleep walking throughout and when she was bound & gagged----it was actually laughable! It might have been better with better casting and actors that could actually act!
An okay time waster but please refrain from that awful dramatic music score continually playing in the background
Of course there were huge holes in this plot and the inept police and FBI who were responsible for arresting the real mobster were laughable. I found the soccer star daughter Denise (Sarah Grey) most irritating from the opening scene when she starts asking her mother Anne (Cahrisma Carpenter) a continuous stream of endless and curious questions about her mother's activities and receives double talk from Anne. Mom and two (2) teenagers lost their father a year ago but they somehow are able to maintain a lifestyle in their multi million dollar estate home on mom's part time jobs of being a hair dresser and casserole maker. Most irritating about this made for TV movie was the background dramataic soap operatic music score which had the reverse effect on me to maintain a level of suspense. Really? As bad as I am making this movie out to be, and the dialogue is near bearable it does have a few twists and turns and a happy ending so it is an okay time waster.
Terrible Movie
Mind boggling that we have such movies being produced in 2016
Based on a True Story? Really? I doubt it.
The premise of this movie is absurd. Mom decides to rob banks to cover her son's gambling debts? Sure, it happens every day. Plot holes include the FBI enlisting "Mom" to rob banks as part of a sting operation. Not likely. An open gambling establishment that is not shuttered by the local Vice Squad? And what kind of bar that plays poker for $5000 a hand would operate out of a single-wide mobile home? The acting is very poor. The scenario is highly improbable. The daughter acts suspicious in the first scene. The broke single mother, with no income other than chump change from an occasional customer at the beauty parlor, lives in a million dollar home. When the banks are robbed, the police just let her just stroll out the door, even though she is carrying no heavy armament, and has no back up (and try walking into a bank wearing a sweatshirt with a hood, dark sunglasses, and a backpack, see if that doesn't draw attention to you). Did you notice that the soccer star never eats any protein, just the Lifetime Movie Network veggie menu of lettuce and pasta? It's going to be hard to get the necessary strength and muscle mass to play soccer, living on a diet like that. Also absurd is Junior, who is being played at the Poker table, he just keeps going back for more, and the house "loans him" $20K plus? No, the movie is just not realistic. The poor acting (is that a real soccer coach?) is the death knell.
Not well kept
The secret that is. So you may know Charisma Carpenter from her role in the Buffy TV show. She grew up - well she matured. She can't play a teenager anymore obviously and unfortunately probably only gets weird roles likes this one more often than not. She was a side character in one of the Expandables movies. But other than that, you probably didn't see her in much. And I would suggest that you shouldn't watch her in this either. Not really worth your time (even if you consider one "twist" towards the end). Weak script, drama of the week, overall rather generic and weak in the dialog department. I won't judge the actors by one performance, but one thing is for sure, this isn't their best work (I know for sure when it comes to Charisma and I hope the same to be true for the others)
