Review of A Wife's Suspicion

One of the worst films I have ever seen. The plot is utterly banal, and I would say it's derivative of any low quality, run of the mill crime procedural but the writing is so pitiful it's difficult to even conceive of one professional film/tv show to associate it with. The lead character, and resident forensic specialist uses a magnifying glass like a child uses a pair of scissors. If the director put a moustache on her face she'd be more believable as Ron Jeremy than she is a forensic scientist. No one from this police department could solve a crime if the killer handed them a DNA sample and a video camera to film them while they hacked their vic in two. The acting is so wooden they look like they're made out of Popsicle sticks, and the line delivery is stiffer than the 'corpses' they find in those staged Ikea displays they call sets. Still, as bad as the acting is the writing is worse. The dialogue is so unbelievable I laughed out loud throughout the film wondering whether it was the script or the acting that made the film seem so emotionally dead inside. It's both. Tim and Kyle both have partners recently murdered (Tim's during the film) and they casually carry on living as if their hearts and brains are made of Lego. The sets are sterile and lit like your local Walmart. They lack any realism whatsoever, even more than the hair colouring of most of the cast, particularly Kyle, the lead 'detective,' who is so in love with the near brain-dead Renee that he is somehow able to tell her she has a "beautiful and creative mind" with a straight, plastic face. In the end, unless you're an eight year old with below average intelligence it doesn't matter who the killer is, because if you are still watching it's either for laughs or you've passed out on the couch.
