Two Wrongs

Gillian Zinser is just phenomenal here. And she is the only reason to even spend one second watching this movie that is three steps below your average Lifetime Saturday night movie. Did I say that Ginger is great here?

Worth a watch if you like a decent crime thriller. Decent acting mixed with thriller plot twists. An overal worth it watch if "catch the bad guy" is your type of movie.

Within the limitations of a made-for-television movie,"Two Wrongs" is admirable because it does not pretend to be anything other than it is: a suspense story that demonizes men and praises the virtues of women. Sarah is the hard-working single mom who juggles the career of a home nurse with the raising of her little girl Lauren. But one of her patients named Gerald turns out to have been guilty of kidnapping and manslaughter of a young child. Despite the fact the kid died in the trunk of his car, he was found not guilty in a generous court ruling. Bill, the father of the little girl that dies, now kidnaps Sarah's daughter Lauren in an attempt at retribution for Gerald's heinous deed. Sarah is unwilling to go to the police for obvious reasons. Just as all of the health-care workers at Sarah's clinic are women, the police in the film are all male. And all of the males in the film are either toxic or emasculated. The only male who exhibits some genuine humanity is one of Sarah's patients who is so ill that he requires a transplant of both lungs. So, Sarah and her stolid mother take matters into their own hands in the attempt to recover little Lauren. One of the most interesting characters is the Sarah's mother, a pious yet determined soul who is willing to play judge, jury, and executioner. Another intriguing character is Gerald, the guilt-ridden killer who wants desperately to atone for his sins. "Two Wrongs" unfolds in a predictable manner with the scenes often lapsing into melodrama and even comedy. The long sequence where Gerald is tied up by Sarah and her mother stretched credibility, based on the size of the man, his unsavory past, and his desperate situation. The production values included an interesting selection of locations, including an especially sinister farm, and the performances were earnest. The action built to a predictable climax where feminine virtue is rewarded and toxic masculinity gets its just dessert.

Nurse Sarah Harris (Gillian Zinser) is a single mother to her young daughter Lauren. Someone has kidnapped Lauren and he has a demand. First, she has to take her new patient Gerald (Aidan Devine) captive. As she waits for her next instruction, she finds that Gerald is hiding a secret. I like the premise. There are some issues with the early pacing. The grandmother is generally a problem. I don't like her budding in. I don't see her getting a confession. She is all kinds of problems. She should have one concern above all else, her granddaughter. As for Sarah, I don't know what she is thinking either but at least, she is going in the right direction until she's not. The last act is all wrong. I don't know why the movie wants these two to have a buddy action thriller. It ruins a pretty interesting premise.

Although this made for television film had a few scenes where the characters overacted and they certainly embellished their key scenes as if life or death were imminent, the overall storyline was well worth the watch. I would compare it to a seven (7) course meal for a party of twelve (12) where each of the twelve (12) dinner guests did not enjoy every one of the seven (7) courses served, but all would agree that the overall meal was more than satisfactory. I especially liked the latter half of the film with some unexpected twists in the storyline which more than made up for some of the over dramatized scenes by some even less than realistic acting. If you can just try and ignore the first half hour of the film in which the director Tristan Dubois certainly did a poor job in building the audience's emotional involvement and suspense, the remainder of the film with its twists and turns did in fact peak my own and Mrs. Shullivan's interest. I give the film a decent 6 out of 10 rating

You can imagine how it does feel you don't find your kids . This movie is a great example . Love you mom

This movie is even better than the best episodes of "Dexter" I've ever° seen. (Just kidding.) Holy freakin' cow, how in the (the worst possible swearing you can conceive of) do things like this get made? And who in the (just regular swearing) could possibly be the audience for this, um, stuff? Loved the Real movie score and Lifetime movie score system. Of far more value than the show itself. To be fair... nope, can't do it. Sorry. Good night everybody! °normal people use "ever" for emphasis, morons (my, actually, sincerest apologies to BoJack on that)

I really wish the premise of this move was a little more believable. Once the mother got involved this movie because so phony and unbelievable. Most of the action was very predictable and horribly planned out. Every time Grace's father went to the phone booth I cringed. Just so horribly unbelievable. Character development was also lacking. So many places this fell flat. The detective that came to the house seemed too forced. There could've been more story development there. This movie started out being intense but ended as a dud. Don't waste your time.

As psychological thrillers go, this low budget effort isn't bad; certainly it doesn't lack for originality. Sarah is a medical professional and harassed single mother. She spends her working day visiting seriously ill patients in their own homes until one day her daughter is snatched. Before she can take meaningful action, she receives a phone call from the kidnapper. Call the police and the girl dies. As Mr X is clearly not a sexual predator, the obvious question is what is his motive, like what could he possibly want with her? The answer is that he is not interested in Sarah but in one of her patients, a mystery man living under a false name. There are strange men watching the house, so is this guy in witness protection? Not quite, he was convicted of killing a young girl who, surprise, surprise, was about the same age as Sarah's daughter. His conviction was quashed on a technicality, so the question is, did he or didn't he? The kidnapper wants revenge, an eye for an eye, but like the man said, that leaves us all blind, and two wrongs... So what happens? Redemption of sorts. Don't expect any thrills with a capital T, but don't believe the bad reviews either.

Alright, let's see: 1) The girl has no idea how to jump rope or walk without skipping like an epileptic 2) The movie's budget apparently couldn't cover the cost of a new bottle of Sunny Delight 3) The kidnapper's super solid kidnapping plan was apparently to keep a sleeping child in a basement forever by feeding her small sips of drugged Sunny Delight 4) There needed to be an epilogue expelling that the misunderstood kidnapper with the heart of gold was sentenced to 15 years of colon-widening showers. The insane wife chewed through her restrains and killed a bunch of people 5) I'll end on a high note by mentioning the spellbinding performance of the OTHER kidnapper with the heart of gold who ran into the river where he immediately drown without saying or doing anything.
