Surprisingly decent for Lifetime.
I'm not nor will I ever be a fan but this was surprisingly decent for this to be a Lifetime. A nice little murder mystery with an at the very ending reveal twist of the bad guy. A wife is pocket dialed from her husband's phone and overhears a woman's voice threating someone and right after a gunshot. She then calls her husband's phone to no avail and while the police are at their home, the husband comes in and explains to the detective that he lost his phone and from that point on the story points in one direction having his wife defending his innocence to believing that he's actually guilty of the murder, to the decent ending reveal. I honestly thought that this was going to be silly with the usual Lifetime bad acting and ridiculous story telling but both me and my wife sat attentively to the end to find out who actually murdered the woman on the pocket dial call. Watch once with a bowl of popcorn and call it a day.

lackluster
Stacey is at work and gets a pocket dial from her husband jeff. But instead of hearing his voice, she seems to hear the voice of a woman getting murdered. He says he lost his phone so naturally stacey thinks his up to something. The big let down with this film was acting the diolgue seemed cheesey in places and not the good kind. The main actresses playing her couldnt move her face so showing emotions was something not possible, it works the same as the rest of these films so ir was a easy to work out in the end what was really going on. Entertainment wise it was still good for what it was, nothing great but still something.

A Pocket Full of Suspects
Pocket dial Murder
Pocket Dial Murder revolves around the lives of a couple, Stacey and Jeff, that get disrupted after Stacey receives a call from Jeff and hears a murder committed on the other end. Jeff claims to be innocent, as he had lost his phone earlier, implying that whoever has the phone is the murderer. An investigation begins, and Stacey begins to doubt Jeff, sensing her life is in danger.
This is a decent whodunnit which captivates from the beginning. It's well-acted and has enough twists to keep you happy. The idea that of Stacey hearing of the murder over the telephone is an inspired idea. It has the usual hallmarks to a lifetime thriller but it has a certain energy and the characters and plot are kept busy.
