What makes it stand out from many other TV movies is how accurate it is to the original story. From what the director says here, they went to great pains to make it as close to the original as possible. I believe it because it really does feel real.\u00a0 All the actors were outstanding in this, particularly the leads, Wendi McLendon-Covey (Vicky) and Rossif Sutherland (Casey).\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve only seen Wendi in comedies, you&#8217;ll be surprised at how great she is in this.\u00a0 I loved Rossif in last year&#8217;s &#8220;Three Pines&#8221; on Prime Video, so I was very happy to see him show up in this. He&#8217;s the son of Donald Sutherland and brother to Kiefer Sutherland. He&#8217;s definitely inherited the family&#8217;s talent and looks.<\/p>\n<p>It was a joy to speak with director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0112253\/?ref_=ttfc_fc_dr1\">Stanley M. Brooks <\/a> because he&#8217;s worked for years as a producer in movies and TV, such as &#8220;Marvel&#8217;s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.&#8221; (ABC) and &#8220;The Lizzie Borden Chronicles&#8221; (Lifetime).\u00a0 He has some amazing stories that you&#8217;ll love. I wish I could have picked his brain for hours.\u00a0 Please watch this Lifetime movie because it&#8217;s worth watching.
