A devoted single mother, Constance, struggles to balance her newfound love with Leo and the obsessive, destructive behavior of her son, Anthony, who will go to extreme lengths to keep her to himself.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Sara Canning plays Constance, a single mother raising her troubled, but hot, son, Anthony. He gets suspended from boarding school and comes home to find his mother dating a man with a flesh-colored beard named Leo. Leo wants to move in with Constance, but she doesn’t want to make Anthony mad if she sells his childhood home.
Anthony goes for a walk with the dog and gets kidnapped for ransom. Constance and Leo go to the bank to get the money. The movie jumps around the timeline for no apparent reason.
Constance arranges the first meeting between Leo and Anthony. It doesn’t go well, and Anthony is just a dick. Leo tries to smooth things over with Leo, thinking he will be a positive male role model, and brags to Consance as Anthony watches, seething. Leo quickly moves in.
Meanwhile, we see Anthony hanging out with his soon-to-be captors, leaving me to reason that he is staging his own kidnapping for ransom money. Speaking of which, we see Constance at the bank attempting to withdraw the funds with Leo, and now he seems in on the scheme, too.
Anthony tries to break up his mother and Leo. He arranges for an ex-girlfriend to come by and think Leo is cheating on Constance, but it doesn’t work. His friends and soon-to-be kidnappers help Anthony carry out his next scheme. Planting booze in Leo’s car because he is an alcoholic and taking out his brake fluid so he will crash his car. (We know he will be fine, because of the whole time jump structure.)
Leo blames Anthony for the accident, and Constance doesn’t want to believe it is true, but he also lied about getting suspended from school. Constance tells Leo that she needs to take a break and focus on her son.
Instead of bonding with her son, Constance smells brake fluid in the laundry and finds messages Anthony sent to Leo’s ex to make it look like he was a cheater. Constance confronts her son, but he denies everything.
Back at the kidnapping, Anthony grabs a knife and cuts himself loose. There is a struggle over the knife, and one of the kidnappers gets stabbed. Leo searches through the woods to find Anthony, but is it to save or hurt him?
The friends and Leo fight over the knife, and Anthony doesn’t know who to trust. It doesn’t matter because Constance knocks the friend out and saves the day.
Anthony goes back to college and therapy, and Leo is thrilled! He and Constance leave that weirdo so quick,
STRAY Thought
Sound mixing in this movie was a MESS!
I think the storytelling device was more annoying than the suspense-building. Things just kind of stall out here.
