In Old Cape Cod
***SPOILERS*** Totally ridiculous even by Lifetime Movie Network standers film that has everyone in it screwing each other-financially not sexually-in trying to get the most money out of millionaire sport card and antique furniture dealer Johathan played by Hal Ozsan, who could easily pass for RFK convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan, who's having his adulterous wife Julie, Amanda Schull,being blackmailed and threatened by this hairy looking creep Sully, James MaCaffrey, who as we soon learn has ideas of his own. That in him not only getting the goods on Julie having an affair with her weak link of a boyfriend Trent,Charlie Hofheime,who's trying to get enough cash to open, his dream in life, a seafood restaurant on the cape after marrying her. That after Julie's divorce to Johanton is finalized.There's also the matter of Julie being pregnant with no one not Johnaton or Trent knowing who's the father of her soon to be born baby girl. We also have as comedy relief the nosy and annoying real estate agent Kathy, Lynne Adams, who's actions in always being at the wrong place at the wrong time-As well as saying the wrong thing-ends up with her being murdered by an outraged and I just about had all the BS that I can take from her Sully who ends up bopping her over the head and shooting Lynne twice, to make sure she's dead, before dumping her body into Cape Cod Bay.
****SPOILERS**** You never really know what exactly is going on in the movie with both Sully and Trent who at some times seem to be working together in getting Julie to pay as much as $500,000.00 ransom money to keep Trent from being murdered by Sully. Yet it's Sully who's-Or it seems like-is really in cahoots with him on his own kidnapping. The ending of the film really flips you out in not really knowing who's-Julie Sully & Trent-involved with what in all this double-crossing in the film only to find out, like it's supposed to be a big surprise, that the baby that Julie is carrying is a girl! But not the real question on everyone's mind just who the father is? With almost no one besides the stars seen in the film in an all but deserted Cape Cod I could only deduce that the movie was either filmed in the off-season or that no one in town, in making themselves scarce, wanted not to have anything to do with it!
score 4/10
