A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

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.

This has a slightly different angle. A woman is murdered. Everyone has an alibi and they can't prove anything. Faced with a closed case, the detective finds out the husband is having an affair. Unable to prove he is the killer, the detective gets her daughter to help investigate her father for the crime. It's quite scary because she is just a teenage girl and makes mistakes.The strangle ending is a bit clichéd. But it was refreshing they never found the actual shooter. Feel good element that she actually has a different biological father.Worth a watch.

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.
