Two hours of this is unnecessary. Right before the accident, the kid looks at his mom like "what the heck is wrong with you?" and it's so appropriate. I doubt the kid was told do to that. I caught this movie at the end where she SPOILER ALERT SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER sends the car over the cliff thinking that the tech would some how save the kid. Seeing that was so incredulous to me that I had to watch from the beginning.
I am one that thinks Lifetime makes mostly awful movies, but I'm not ashamed to say I watch them for background noise. This is not a movie they should be trying if they're not going to commit to it. They did another one with twins trapped in a pool that involved less stupid actions by the characters.
First off, if she and her husband could afford this futuristic car, then surely this kid would have his own iPad. Also, who doesn't know to maybe back up off the deer, grab the phone from the kid, and call for help? This set of events is just so ridiculous that it sets the tone.
Because the mom and kid are essentially the only two characters, this movie relies on the viewer being engaged enough to care about this ordeal. I'm not sure the actress pulls it off. I also find it hard to believe that not only does this car not have some sort of safeguard against this happening, but the only way to "trip" it is to shove the car off a cliff?! What made it even crazier was that it HAD to work otherwise the toddler would be dead and this would be a tragedy.
I really wouldn't waste your time.
