This scenario has been done to death. The writer could've told a story unique to them all, put some "stink" on it. And all the dumb mistakes and unrealistic "real world" situations that are clearly for the purpose of entertainment who would run away from an abusive spouse only to go a few blocks to an hour away. Reality and our general fight or flight instincts would say to go as far away as possible, oh yeah especially if you will also be defrauding the insurance company. Did the friend survive? What happened to her. Wasn't revisited. My 4 stars is only because it started out with promise however quickly went downhill. Better luck next time.
