“Broken Ties” (** out of four) was a tedious suspense melodrama about 2 sisters (Brianna Cohen and Nicole Marie Johnson) who take different paths in life; one has the perfect existence with a picture-perfect home and husband and the other is threatened and abused by her husband leading to jealousy and resentment which boils over. In-name only thriller plays more like a soap-opera with vague suspense elements. Good performances from the two leads and attractive lighting keep this watchable but it’s only for those who will rent anything from Netflix or the Redbox machine. Originally titled “Sisters On The Run.”
