Walk on By

This had so much potential. Yet, it was ridiculously executed.

Wife is abused by husband. Wife’s bff stepped in and decided to help bc bff’s mother was abused, and her client at the department store committed suicide due to abuse. Bff decided to be the heroine after turning away the other women in her life who suffered greatly.

2 women affected by domestic violence plotted revenge- kill the husband. Cool, right?? No. The idea was cool- then it became a comedy.

They had no idea what they were doing. Female bad ass-ism became sloppy murder, followed by stupid identity swap (how convenient) and more messy messy webs. Instead of a message about female empowerment, they fucked up the murder plot and had to be saved by another male over and over again. Even the male character was questioning why they were both so fucking stupid.

What should’ve happened- no identity swap. They plot the murder, executed it well, no suspicion. Wife learns to cope with her trauma, builds herself back up. Sister finds evidence, in the end, decides not to turn the wife in because she realized she also contributed to his murder by not acknowledging what he did wrong.
