A Murder to Remember

One of very few one-star ratings from me. This is horrifically bad, even by the very low standards of Lifetime movies. Granted, they had a truly awful script to work with (how do you mess up a true story?), but the acting is comically terrible (all of them, but the police chief is worst of all - yikes). And why did they cast an actress who looks like she's twelve? It made the whole thing even less believable, and I just didn't care what happened to the characters one way or another. Please don't waste your time on this like I did.

Ten minutes in and I'm not continuing. This is bad and horribly acted, rather it was overacted. That bug-eyed girl was annoying, or maybe it's the result of lame dialogue and shoddy direction (Robin Givens? That figures).

I put this on while I was cleaning. Didn't have to pay too much attention to the plot. Wanted to see how an Ann Rule book worked as a movie. I thought the~ actress that played Robin was convincing in her role as a damaged young widow. The sheriff looked tough and weathered nothing glamorous. The murderer was certainly a creep.

.

It may have been a real incident but the movie was absolutely boring. The protagonist over acted and so did her mother. Throughout the you expected a twist but that never came. A straight forward boring movie. The only redeeming feature is the Sheriff who did a relatively good job.

This was really bad even for a Lifetime movie. Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised with a good Lifetime movie but this one just disappointed from start to finish. The pace was extremely slow with constant flashing back and flashing forward which just didn't work in my opinion. The lead actress was more annoying than anything. Just nonstop crying throughout the whole movie. Maybe part of the problem was that I already knew the whole story because Forensic Files did an episode on it which I saw so there was no suspense for me but it was far too dragged out with a lot of filler I thought. I wouldn't waste your time with it.
