A psychopathic husband who lives by the creed that no blood should dry on his wife, and who has surveillance skills like the director of the NSA, needs to be stopped. Michael Apted manages the theme of domestic violence in a dramatic context fairly well and occasionally brings something insightful to the topic (like the concerned question from the mother-in-law about what provoked her son). But as soon as the victim, with the help of a benefactor’s money, begins training like Balboa and buying MacGyver’s gadgets, it nosedives almost into comedy territory. I’m aware of the flaws, but this is likely one of my guilty pleasures. The poorly acting “fight back” mom, JLo, sending the tyrant to hell. ()
