I kept asking that question out loud while watching this movie. Who wrote this? I appreciate a veteran actor such as Monica Calhoun. She is what made me want to watch but it was comical, and not the suspenseful drama I believe the creator was going for. The story was written as if the son was age 5. And maybe it was and there was a casting issue. I'm not sure, but that was a huge problem. And skip over day visits? Ok. The detective's character was completely unbelievable. I've never seen a writer, not write in a partner for the detective. The lone detective's acting was subpar. There were lines missing in a lot of scenes. They were needed. Why didn't we see Vanessa's character do more with her information? Did we not have gauze on set? I'm confused. Nothing was realistic about this movie and it was a missed opportunity to dig deep into all of the characters. I wish I could write for these movies. A lot of them have the same context issues.
