The movie is a great thriller though made on a TV movie budget. Am quite fussy about selecting my thriller movies but this one was picked honestly randomly by me on a feel Good Friday evening and I was pleasantly surprised. Loved the twists and turns and the whodunnit guessing game. And yes, can we PLEASE get more of this wonderful actress ERIN KARPLUK?? She is brilliant an actor!! Hope to see more of her in upcoming movie/tv series.

Dominick "Dom" Volberg was running a very successful scam. As he was worth millions due to his apparently shady business dealings, he was able to juggle marriages to three women in Manhattan. He told each of them that he had business in Panama and was gone at least half the time. But his excesses catch up to Dom when one of the three women gets wise to his bigamy, and he is run over by a speeding vehicle.

The three actresses were terrific in portraying the three wives in distinct characterizations.

(1) Allison is the practically minded marriage counselor with a history of violence after she bludgeoned her previous boyfriend, Graham, when she caught him in the sack with her bestie, Gabby.

(2) Marla is the sassy waitress with as much baggage as Allison. Her first husband was murdered, the crime was never solved, and she lost a baby through miscarriage. At one point, she was institutionalized. When Marla learns that Dom had been unfaithful, she tracks down Allison and tackles her in her own home.

(3) Cheryl is the snooty socialite who was cheating herself at the time of Dom's demise. But she will not give the time of day to her social inferiors, Allison and Marla, when they demand equal shares of Dom's substantial estate.

The best scenes in the film are those in which the three women are together typically engaged in a cat-fight. There is also a smug, yet ineffectual police detective who is clueless in Dom's murder investigation.

The filmmakers kept up a brisk pace with snappy dialogue and a subplot involving a Swiss bank account in excess of $4 million in Dom's name. Just at the moment when the ending appeared to be lackluster and inconsequential, there was a plot twist that pulled the rug out from under the audience and left us with a clever dénouement on a park bench. A confession follows, and a lot of loot is divided in a most unanticipated way!

Great fun!

Therapist Alison Whitford (Erin Karpluk) is heart-broken when her husband gets killed in a hit-and-run. Police Det. Gabriel Strickland believes it to be murder. She is confronted by Marla Mitchell (Kate Corbett) who turns out to be his other wife. They find that he was first married to Cheryl Volberg (Kelly Rutherford) and has no legitimate source of income.

I'm going with this movie until Alison fails to foresee Cheryl's refusal. Everybody seems to be smart at the beginning. Everybody needs to be smart in order for this to be a good thriller. That's the secret to making this movie work. The writing has to be smart. Getting the wives to agree on the money does not make it any more legal. Alison really only has two options. She can go to the cops or she can go take the money herself. At the very least, she should have held onto the passcode as leverage. I would have liked to see her go to the dark side and have her world descend into corruption. That's the better movie.
