Hosea Chanchez plays Mike, a detective hot on the trail of a pair of cop killers. LeToya Luckett-Walker plays his wife Tracy, who was adopted as a child and is now trying to track down her biological family. Sheer coincidence plays a plot twist in the movie's least convincing performance.

The movie starts with one of the oldest cop cliches in the book: Mike's partner gets killed just days before he was about to retire. The killers are a pair of sisters named Denise and Sonya (Bre-Z and Imani Hakim, respectively). They spend most of the movie hiding in plain sight because it's the strategy that's most structurally convenient to the rest of the script.

A social worker informs Tracy that Denise and Sonya are her biological sisters. Mike suspects the social worker is a con artist. I found myself hoping he'd be right. Otherwise the plot had already flown completely off the rails, and we're not even fifteen minutes into it.

Next the sisters kill a an ex-cop. The scene features this stunning bit of hard-boiled dialogue:

EX-COP: What do you want?
SISTERS (together): Your life!

Jesus, Folsome. I know it's only a TV movie, but all you had to do was come up with a pre-mortem one-liner that was less cringey than the clunkers Arnold Schwarzenegger spouted as Mr. Freeze, and you botched it.

Tracy manages to find the sisters with practically no effort. By now Sonya's been shot in the arm during a bank robbery. After Tracy removes the bullet, she reveals their family connection. The sisters put in some obligatory standoffishness before proceeding to the obligatory bonding. Tracy eventually convinces them to turn themselves in, but first they take some upbeat selfies and give each other makeovers.

The cops find them before they have a chance to give themselves up. Sonya gets shot in the other arm. Hey, at least the scars will be symmetrical. The ensuing showdown features the worst CGI explosion since Commodore stopped making Amigas. The movie gradually winds down with a cheesy attempt at a tearjerker ending.

The family melodrama mixes exceptionally poorly with the crime story. Neither is convincing on its own, and mashing them together exacerbates their weaknesses. It's just a tiresome chain of tropes that have all been done better in hundreds of other movies.

Let's see if a kinder, gentler Movie Crank can find something nice to say about this turd.

Hmm...shit.

I guess it's good to see Luckett-Walker continue to find work since Destiny's Child broke up.

4 out of 10.

Seen on Tubi.
