Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

evening1 Very good example of the "suicide"-disguising-a-homicide genre.Rob Lowe is chillingly convincing as dentist Bart Corbin, who, according to both the movie and news reports, pleaded guilty to killing both his wife Jenn, and, 14 years earlier while in dental school, his estranged girlfriend Dolly Hearn.Both were found dead with single gunshots to the right side of the head, sans notes, yet in each case suicide was the theory first put forth.All of the performances are strong in this far better-than-average Lifetime yarn. In addition to Lowe, there is Stefanie von Pfetten as Jenn, who suspects her husband of having an affair and gets sucked into an internet romance with "Chris," who is really a lesbian posing as a man. Pfetten is believably devastated when the truth becomes clear.Michelle Hurd is also good as the determined Det. Roche, who starts out seeing a cut-and-dried case of suicide but remains open to the possibility of a much more sinister crime scenario. Also turning in strong performances are the boy who plays Jenn's somber 7-year-old son -- he tracks through blood to discover Jenn's body -- and the American Indian/Israeli actress who plays Jenn's lovesick Internet correspondent.I read online that Corbin's attorneys originally argued that "coincidence isn't evidence." Interesting claim! And from what I've read, Corbin technically will become eligible for parole in 2018. However, Georgia officials have said that based on the parole board's track record, he may not actually gain an opportunity for release until 2028.

Robert J. Maxwell Anne Rule is a first-rate true-crime writer, both concise and colorful, and she wrote the book this TV movie is based on. It's too bad that the people behind this movie, anxious for a buck, rush to Canada and shoot the story so carelessly for Lifetime Movies.The story itself isn't exactly epic. A narcissistic dentist (Lowe) shoots his wife and sets it up as a suicide. The wife's sister is convinced that it was murder and eggs the local police on. (Nice performance by Michelle Hurd as the determined but straight-laced cop.) A lengthy investigation brings out the fact that one of the dentist's girl friends in college wound up dead in the same manner. Okay, Doc, open wide now.The director, Norma Bailey, tries some original camera angles. Sometimes they work -- a couple of overhead shots that break up the predictable parade of images -- and sometimes they don't. It doesn't add much to a scene of a couple walking down a hallway and having an ordinary conversation when you tilt the camera thirty degrees. There are situations that call for such striking effects, but a chat in a hallways isn't one of them.Rob Lowe is Rob Lowe. Everyone says he's handsome so I suppose he's handsome but there are times when I could be convinced that his character's love of self is entirely real. You know when the audience is first tipped off that there's something queer about the grieving husband? When he shows up to answer questions at the police station, says he's ready to be taken to the interrogation room, and says politely, to nobody in particular, "Coffee black, no cream," and one of the detectives stares after him, stupefied. And he insists on being addressed as "doctor," whereas most non-MDs get that behind them when they're out of their professional settings.When I think of all the pain inflicted on me over the years by those sadists in white coats -- you know the patter, "This may sting a little," and "I'm going to have to be a bad boy now," -- I was glad to see him convicted. You hear me? -- GLAD! I hope that prison has a dentist who is a ham-handed oaf at his job and who suffers from a perpetual hangover. Immanent justice. It was good enough for Aristotle.

jczoerner This is an engaging movie... not the best, but certainly watchable. What makes this movie remarkable, however, is Rob Lowe's stellar performance. I mean, this guy is on fire! I've seen him in a few things and have never given him much that much thought, but that he could turn in such a world class performance in what is essentially a throw-away (although certainly decent) movie is a testament to what an incredible talent he must be. I am not joking. He is really good in this... he had me laughing out loud several times, not because he was funny but simply because I was in awe of how well he delivered this or that line. Just as "Batman: The Dark Knight" wasn't that good a movie but was elevated by Heath Ledger's performance, so is this TV movie elevated into true art by the solid acting performances, especially Lowe's. Recommended!

edwagreen The dentist who had everything except the fact that he couldn't take rejection. Rob Lowe plays this type of guy to the hilt in the true story.His frustrated wife begins an online relationship with a guy named Chris from St. Louis. Imagine, her surprise, when it turns out that Chris is actually a lesbian who has been looking for a relationship since her last one broke up.The movie is intriguing. Did the dentists wife kill herself as it first appeared or was there foul play? The picture wobbles when it's determined that while in college, the good dentist had a girlfriend who allegedly killed herself as well. We've seen this pattern before in films.We also have Lauren Holly, the victim's sister who suspects her brother-in-law from the start. Nothing new here as well except for the fact that the film is admirably done.
