i have read some complaint about how this movie be 4 hour of my life i will never get back . but trust me and these be 4 hour you will never forget . this be a story about a woman name teresa who meet a seemingly perfect male specimen name ken . they meet and fall in love and he woo her traditional italian family and they waste no time in get married teresa first marriage and ken third . but ken be not all he seem . not very long into the movie and we see that he a substance abuser and he cheat on his new wife and be physically abusive towards her . teresa and blind by her seemingly perfect new love and defend him and regardless of her battered state . but teresa sister and angela ( an amazing valerie bertinelli ) and suspect otherwise and alert her husband ( a gorgeous pre receeded hairline chris meloni of law and order svu fame ) and family that something sinister be hide under ken perfect man facade . eventually and teresa becomes pregnant with her first child something that be not in ken plan and and he be visibly irritate by the news . brilliantly act and completely rivet to the viewer and in a child name will have you on the edge of your seat and anxiously await what will happen next . this movie take you on a roller coaster ride of emotion fear and anger and love and hate and it literally make you want to jump through the screen and knock ken taylor in the teeth . call one of the most disturbing screen shot in all of cinema history that right and not lifetime history cinema history and the famous luminol scene will stay with you long after the movie be over . ( ps represent i know for a fact that the luminol scene be completely accurate . my grandfather be a detective on this case and a my family live in staten island and where the cimarelli live and and he be physically in the room when this happen . he say it totally dead on accurate . which kinda make it all the more scary . ) if you want a movie that will tap into every human emotion possible and and make you stand up and cheer at the end and then this be the movie for you . valerie bertinelli should of be nominate for best actress in this role and and the rest of the cast be stun a the 2 family battle for custody of the murdered wife newborn son . this film be a shin example of what a substantial movie watch experience should be .
