davidslistening I watched it because of the story line. It is supposed to be based on a true life story but I have found nothing online about the incident. The film was a typical TV film and those who are judging it cant compare it to a 'real' movie'. Its like buying a budget phone and comparing it to the latest iPhone. The reviewer though who slated the cast except for Josie Davis gives a very interesting take on it seeing that the only reference to her being in the film seems to be from him. Not listed in the cast list as far as I can see and if you google it the only references to her in the film are from him.
guil fisher Once again we have an inept leading lady attempting to act. In this case she is trying to pass herself off as a high school student. Being rather long in the tooth it is hard to believe. She runs around (no pun intended as we are asked to believe she is a track star) hair flying in the breeze which is typical of LMN leading ladies - long hair that looks so common and uninteresting. Her performance was boring as she spoke every line in a monotone two note level it put you to sleep. There wasn't any performance that came off realistic or interesting in the entire film. Possibly the mother, who was killed off in the opening credits. Who writes this stuff? Who casts this stuff? Who directs this stuff? Most importantly, who pays for this stuff? For surely there are more worthwhile projects that deserve more attention. And better actresses than LMN finds to star in most of their films. Josie Davis is the only one that comes across as a decent actress. Even she deserves better material.
taylorjonl This show is a perfect example of what not to do if you are a police officer and you want to lock up criminals.First off, the officer involves a minor in a police investigation putting her life in jeopardy. Second, the reason it ended with the father only getting convicted of soliciting a murder for hire is that all the evidence that was gathered by the daughter was probably thrown out of court, since the second the police officer suggested she be his *agent* anything they did was an illegal search and seizure.I gave the movie 5 out of 10 because it was slightly interesting but I spent most my time laughing at how many mistakes this police officer made.
edwagreen Interesting, but uneven drama where a woman is blown away in front of her pet shop. She leaves behind her husband and 3 children. Naturally, when daddy has been having an affair for 2 years, attention shifts to him. Of course, he has an alibi, but he could have paid someone to go bang!bang!The killing seems to have the most impact on the eldest daughter, a high school senior. She now has to become a mother to the 2 younger children, but is soon asked by a police detective to spy on her father so as to gather evidence against him.What she finds is most perplexing. There is always a birth certificate in these situations.Even though the detective experienced his own personal loss,why would he jeopardize her life in order to reach a conclusion to this case?The punishment meted out for this crime proves how ridiculous sentencing can be. Guess who pulled the trigger? Only the killer knows that one. How come the sentenced one didn't open his mouth? There is something lacking here.
