Fatal flaw ruins good acting

I will abstain from rating this 3 part movie because after watching part one I was so annoyed by the fatal plot flaw that I lost interest in watching the rest. The acting was good, the premise intriguing, but, from the beginning, the story revolves around the unlikely assumption that Marcey, the caterer, would put herself at risk by assisting a possible murderer, lying to the police and essentially becoming an accomplice. As the plot unfolds she gets in deeper and deeper ... why??? Why would any reasonable person do that? Sorry, I just couldn't buy it.

Engaging delight

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging, but rather hard-to-peg movie. It was part thriller, part drama, part humor, part slice-of-life tale of the trials of marriage and life... Altogether entertaining, however, and the performances were believable and interesting. The two leads are marvelous.

After watching it, I came here to read a bit about it and was so surprised to see that it was 2 1/2 hours long. I never looked up while I was watching it! If you had asked, I would have said 90 minutes. A definite treat if you are looking for something that follows its own path and keeps you thinking and smiling.

Worthwhile

The plot, characters, dialogue, acting are all very well done. Lots of twists and turns, and you want to know what happens next (always a key ingredient for success). Saw it over 3 nights (Acorn split it into 3 pieces - wisely IMHO). It's sort of a thriller - but not too tense (I no longer have the stomach for 'tense' thrillers), with humor (not LOL type humor, but makes you smile inwardly). Likeable characters.

Very good

Ms. Okonedo is amazing and it is always a pleasure to watch Mr. Kitchen perform.

For more mature audiences into British drama

"Alibi" tells of a British businessman who unwittingly kills his wife's lover, is serendipitously befriended by a young woman who provides his alibi, and becomes becomes embroiled in the cover-up, police investigation, discoveries of more sinister malfeasance, domestic issues, and more. Shot in the usual made-for-TV Brit no frills style with nonstop dialogue, this very civilized flick is sufficiently busy and twisty to hold interest for most of the 2.5 hour run. On the upside is a solid cast offering good performances. On the downside is mediocre production value and no subtitles or CC. Probably a worthwhile small screener for those into contemporary Brit dramas. (B-)
