The Wrong Woman (2013)

This leading lady was annoying from beginning to the end. Her voice made me cringe. As if she were 10 years old. Her bug eyes also didn't help. She went through the entire movie with this look of surprise. As if she saw a ghost. I had no empathy for her at all because she was such a bad choice for a rather inept script. Most of the remaining cast went through their blocking and lines as though they were in a trance. Not a redeeming value to this terrible movie. Waste of time. Hope you didn't have to pay to see this silly film. I haven't mentioned names of the cast, director, writer or producer in respect of hoping they have learned by their own mistakes and not to do something like this to the public again. And please, take this off the air. It doesn't represent LMN at their best nor worst.

One obviously doesn't turn Hitchcock's The Wrong Man into The Wrong Woman just for novelty's sake. I was expecting a chick flick, so I wasn't surprised or disappointed when I found that the heroine lives in a world where all men are beasts. At least they're all interesting beasts, and like the protagonist of Hitchcock's movie the heroine here is unprepared and helpless when evidence seems to implicate her in a crime she didn't commit so I was looking forward to a fairly faithful remake. I didn't mind Danica McKellar's portrayal of helplessness; I think that in the real world that's how we behave when we're blindsided. Unfortunately, in the middle the movie loses its credibility when Mister Wonderful appears, at around the same time it develops that (unlike the Hitchcock movie) there is more than bad luck behind the false accusation, and perhaps worst of all the heroine remarks "I studied law" to justify the transformation of the movie into a women's empowerment story as she goes up against the system-- to the admiration, and with the help, of Mister Wonderful. However, unlike some sharper viewers who have commented here, I was unprepared for the ending and although I found it abrupt-- well, so was the ending to North by Northwest; and the welcome addition of an old-fashioned suspense scene in the last ten minutes of The Wrong Woman left me in a gratified and forgiving frame of mind.

I just watched this movie on lifetime 9/19/14. I was yelling at the TV practically the whole movie! Her whole case should've been thrown out of court! She wasn't properly mirandized! She's questioned by the officers in interrogation, she asks to call her husband, next thing you know they tell her that her bond is $500,000 and they are locking her up! Her lawyer was a joke and should've known that right from the beginning. Another thing! She was the wife of a police officer! She didn't have any knowledge of correct police procedures. Seems like her husband taught her nothing about how to handle police matters or correct procedures. She should've told her lawyer that she wasn't properly mirandized and any evidence obtain thereafter would be thrown out. In fact, the whole case should've been thrown out on a technicality! Her husbands behavior seemed off to me. He seemed like he didn't really care if she went to prison. I suspected him at first. I was correct that he was screwing around. Anyway, had to get this off my chest!

I thought Danica was great in this movie. The movie itself had a great cast, was great seeing "Hunter" back on TV. I have to say the story lagged a little midway and could have used a little more suspense and a little more drama but all the actors were fantastic it's definitely something I enjoyed watching on a Saturday night!! I thought it was very interesting watching with the perspective of the lead character, it sort of made you feel as helpless as the character felt, and kept you wanting to see someone stand up for her. The lead character taking charge was wholly satisfying. It was someone taking control of their own fate I loved that aspect of the movie!! It wasn't a summer blockbuster but it was a great lifetime movie, it's the reason I love watching.
