Poorly written, feels like gender of villan was switched. Comes accross an appologist piece for American school shooters who are mostly male. The villain cop would never have passed academy and service psych evaluations. Very cringeworthy.

How did she pass the psych test? Not only is Penny harboring serious anger issues, but she's delusional as well. Remembering things as they didn't happen. It's amazing that she was able to keep all that buried for so long. I don't consider this a revenge movie necessarily. Had she kept her targets to the people she felt wronged her, that would be slightly more understandable. Not justified but understandable. Killing her partner for finding out. Attacking the husband. Whenever the nutjob's victims extend outside of their enemies, they become less sympathetic. The set up was decent, and I could believe that randomly running into an old bff who she believed was party to humiliating her, could bring back bad memories. This movie had a pretty swift pace which was great. The protagonist had her faults but she wasn't an idiot like a lot of Lifetime's other movies. I remember Kaitlyn from Hart of Dixie and I've seen her in a couple other movies. She did a good job. Penny's actress was good too and played a good villain without being campy or a ham. She was an awful person though and the movie didn't give her any redeeming qualities. There was so little of them as teens and it would have helped to contrast her psycho nature. Aside from the flashback, there was really no reason to sympathize with her because her manipulations started right away.

A little different scenario here - the cop investing a home invasion was bullied by the owner in high school. Interesting dynamic. At least the wacko of the week has a clear reason for doing what she does. Nice change to see things from the POV of the wacko. There is a Carrie vibe that's entertaining.

This movie is better than average for a Lifetime movie. Personally I was rooting for Penny. When the bully guy showed up at the bbq, the friend should have acted much more quickly and strongly to protect Penny. What Penny went through in high school would have been extremely traumatic.

I liked the good and serious topic here, which is police corruption and evidence planting. Accusing innocent, messing with somebody's life, dealing with dangerous things, childhood emotional trauma, betrayal are all good and serious topics here. Also good is the unpredictability and positive ending. Good scientific explanation unlike in worse movies where nothing is explained. But bad is the too much negativity, violence, and too much common stuff and talk which did cause feelings of boredom and desperation.
