Another decent Tubi thriller

This is another Tubi original thriller. A woman is placed on house arrest for financial crimes that her ex-husband has committed. The woman is staying alone in her large house while her ex is in jail doing his own time. She suspects she's being stalked by someone so her and her best friend contact police.

The police aren't interested in helping without a provable crime being committed so she hires a male personal security guard. She then learns about another woman in the area who has vanished. The woman on house arrest then learns her ex is being released and she's left to investigate whether it's her ex or a bunch of other possible suspects who are trying to harm her. Good actors, but the film would be better if it had a faster pace. Decent enough.

Predictable and just okay

So this movie was pretty mediocre but I just wanted to watch and the actress was pretty lol. However the acting was not that good. My question towards the whole movie is if they had a scheme that robb people how were they still able to maintain their life styles or even stay in their homes? Shouldn't they be broke trying to pay that back? Fraud and law is not my area but still thought that did not make sense. The movie was also a little predictable especially when the one cup showed up and did nothing. Also that parole officer or whoever she was.. did way to.much. One part of the movie i did not undestand was after they were attacked the ambulance came. They totally forgot about sofia in the home you're telling me the police did not do a sweep?.okay.

The Pariah of Sandpoint Lake

Bri Collins is the quintessence of a dynamic and strong-willed "Lifetime" woman who got a raw deal when her shady and manipulative ex-husband Michael framed her as a co-conspirator in his "pump and dump scheme" that defrauded honest citizens of millions. Having taken a plea deal under the advice of her attorney, Bri now finds herself under house arrest for a year in the couple's beautiful lake home at Sandpoint.

While in virtual incarceration in her home, Bri is stalked and harassed. She suspects that the perp may be her loutish ex. She then hires a personal body guard named Xavier Johnson. There is almost instant chemistry between the couple, and some of the best scenes involved their burgeoning romantic connection.

There was a high tech element to the film with gadgetry, home security devices, and a multi-purpose ankle monitor. The character named Dex is a tech specialist and former military comrade of Xavier, who becomes a sparkplug, adding energy to the film. But one scene that seemed a stretch was when Bri and Xavier invaded Michael's house in order to find evidence related to his shenanigans. The problem was that he was inside the home with his mistress Mackenzie at the time of the break-in. The cat-and-mouse game featured Bri and Xavier racing from room to room, turning the sequence into the style of French farce.

It was also unconvincing that Bri would suddenly dismiss Xavier when informed that he was a suspect in the death of his sister Cheyenne. Bri surely recognized that Xavier's efforts were sincere in tracking down Cheyenne's killer and the information she was receiving was a bald-faced lie. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted to give the romantic relationship a rest. Bri was the film's intended protagonist, yet the actor playing Xavier, who has the presence of a giant redwood tree, was stealing every one of their scenes.

There were a couple of good twists and revelations coming at the end. The performances were spot on. And the film was crisply directed with interesting settings as the characters scurried about from room to room. Slowly but surely, the pariah of Sandpoint Lake redeemed herself with the help of a gentle giant and the wonders of modern technology.
