The basisc model scenario that there is a bad man that is violent and the angelic woman kills him at the end and that is ok. No all this produced culture is not ok even the way they portrait that it was murder. There are many cases about women that are violent and thousands false allegations - Also ENOUPH wit the plagiarism and same movies all over again and the bias Male hate because it is an easy thing to make as a movie. It was not enjoyable, the act was bad and the scenario the same with more that other 10 movies, except the race perhaps and the place. We say Enouph and get serious ,its time!

"You Can't Escape Me" One of the very few LMN movies I've rated above 3 - other than the true crime ones which are usually very good. Very few complaints with this as for the most part, it was well done. In a nutshell: unknown artist marries guy she's only known 6 months, and she soon finds out he's insanely possessive, jealous, and abusive. He ruins her one chance at her first gallery showing of her paintings due to his crazed jealousy over the gallery owner. So she ends up at an old friend's place in another state and starts a new life with a fake name, including self defense training in case he finds her and forces her to go back to LA with him against her will.. Main complaint: it might sound petty, but couldn't they have found an actor who was at least as tall as she was and not so thin and young-looking to play her new boyfriend? He was horribly miscast. An environmental lawyer? He looked more like a senior in high school. They didn't look right together at all. Alex Trumble, who played the husband, is becoming one of the Lifetime regulars. I've seen him in a few other LMNs, playing both the villain and the sweet normal guy. He does well at both and he's actually good-looking too, unlike so many other Lifetime male leads. Not bad, for a run of the mill psycho bad guy vs. Good girl LMN flick. This particular good girl refuses to be the psycho's victim by preparing for their eventual showdown. Grade B- / 6 out of 10.

How stupid was Katie, and the neighbor (in the beginning)? Why in the world would they think they knew enough to play mediator as opposed to getting her some help?! Lifetime has stupid friends in these movies, but Katie is by far one of the worst. She almost died and could have gotten her friend killed. Erin comes to stay with her and she thinks Jared trying to "redeem" himself is reason enough for her to intervene? Reasonable or acceptable? Had Katie died, I would not have cared (sorry not sorry), but since she didn't, Erin should accept her apology but put some distance in their friendship. Suzanne was a MUCH better and smarter friend, so I'm glad she was around in the end. This actress did another movie where she played an abused wife (something about In Love with My Partner's Wife I think), and this one is better. There's also a moviei with Damon Runyan with this similar storyline that is better than both in terms of story and tension. My only thing, and I am obviously not victim shaming, but from the dialogue, there were so many red flags that were seemingly there before their whirlwind marriage. For example, her getting rid of all of her personal banking accounts? IMO, that's worse and more dangerous than his comments on her wardrobe. Jared didn't have a personality beyond being an abuser and I guess that's the result of the movie getting things going pretty quickly. I think the scene with Jared's parents was a bit of overkill. I could tell that we're supposed to see that he gets his behavior from his father, but his mother goes back and forth btwn normal and jittery/anxious. It was weird and obvious what's being implied. She also talked a lot for someone who is "afraid" of her husband. Some things are just too on the nose. For example, the climax where he's taunting Erin about being bigger and stronger than her, and she uses all her new self-defense knowledge on him. There's an episode of Walker Texas Ranger, where an abused woman gets help from her self defense support group after she's attacked in the woods by her husband. It was great and much more realistic. It's worth one watch at least. It took me a couple of tries bc I fell asleep in the middle (it was a holiday so I napped). It's not too PSA-like which is appreciated.

Lesss than a C quality movie. Once again I need to say if you want to waste sometime watching something this would be your movie. Also if you have been in any type of a abusive relationship don't watch this movie. It clearly misses the point. This could have been a left lesson movie but instead it chooses to take a dark and stupid turn. I've seen what kind of abusive relationship is like and this just doesn't add up to that. I can't say much more but just don't waste your time with this film. The script and the acting is just bad. Hate to do this to the cast and crew but sorry they all wasted their time making a movie that makes me laugh more than have sorrow for a bad decision.

It was basically a remake of 'Enough' (2002) starring Jennifer Lopez but it was shortened and a bit more boring version with average acting performance. Overall it's like 6.5-7.

We had enjoyed Gina as Willa in "Deadly Girls Night Out" and as Eve in "In Love With My Partner's Wife." As Erin in this movie, Gina does an admirable job, showing a range of emotions. One of the things we liked the most was the scenes where she was working in the gym on self defense. Too many times in LMN movies, when they try to show a game or a sport, it is obvious that the actors portraying the athletes really have no ability in that sport or game. In this case, the scenes were very realistic. One must surmise that Gina is into that action in real life. Alex Trumble does a credible job as the scumbag, although the bar for being a scumbag is relatively low. You know that there is going to be a showdown and you are anxious to see the scumbag get his comeuppance. Does he? Watch this interesting movie to find out.

Erin Carver is a talented artist and a decent person who is on the receiving end of domestic abuse from her vile and controlling husband Jared. In college, Erin had two great friends in Susanne and Katie, where they became the three amigas. Now, Susanne and Katie come to the assistance of Erin in her quest to escape from her husband. It was a stretch on the part of the filmmakers to imply that because Jared was an attorney, he could manipulate the legal system and control the police to prevent Erin from reporting him, filing a restraining order, and taking him to court for physical abuse. It was also unsettling that Erin would flee to the home of her neighbor Polly after being attacked and punched by her husband, only to have Polly phone Jared instead of phoning the police. What a neighbor!!! Erin flees from L. A. to Portland, but Jared keeps tabs on her through a private investigator. It was surprising that Katie was so gullible that she fell for the private eye and believed that Jared was remorseful. The film focused on the support Erin received from Cassie, the kind owner of a gym, who offered Erin instruction in self-defense. The scenes where Erin was training and the skills she acquired were extremely credible. In the end, the film was successful in raising awareness about domestic violence. It also demonstrated the power of a support system, including the nice environmental attorney Miles, that enabled Erin to cope while living in purgatory and constantly sleeping with one eye open due to the horrors of patriarchy.
