Sentencia final

Bad acting, bad plot, bad writing, bad music/score. The dialogue is so unrealistic it's painful; people just do not talk like that. At one point the main character, when she's by herself, says out loud "Oh Meg, what are you doing?"

There isn't any chemistry between any of the characters, not even the characters who are supposed to be romantically involved. Kissing is over-mic'd which is utterly unpleasant.

There doesn't seem to be any logic behind many of the characters' decisions.

Overall, it's melodramatic and cheesy. I don't know what I expected from a TV movie, but it's just so bad. The only reason I haven't turned it off is because I'm determined to finish every movie I start.

Movie shot on video says enough. Low budget and predictable to the very end. Waste of time.

Basic plot. Far fetched and fanciful scenes. Bagful of money just sitting there for 8 years. No one found it but a quick search 8 years later - bingo. Poor dialogue. Very boring.

Ok Day 2

Now I have watched a bit more - hoping. Nothing happened so I logged in to update this before I fell into a coma.

I am now going off to watch grass grow.

Grass is great - back to the movie. Day 3 Found out the murderer. Wow. Preposterous.

This story seems to be written by a random scenario generator and then stitched together.

Hard to put this into a genre. Perhaps junk.

Oh dear, here we go again, yet another movie shot in Canada by Canadians, subsidized by Canadian taxpayers, produced for Canadian television. Yet the damn thing is set in the USA with US cops, US district attorneys, US judges... Doesn't anybody up here have THE GUTS to do a movie like this set in Canada????? The Canadian film industry will always be THIRD RATE so long as it panders this way to the US market. Appalling!!! Having vented on this subject, as I do regularly, it was not a bad film. Reasonably well shot. Competently acted. Decently written (although the plot gets a little confusing towards the end.) I would have given it a 7 but knocked it down to 4 because of the craven cinematic colonialism.

Erica Durance in Final Verdict, What is not to love? She can get inside the script and character of the role she plays and do it well. For every negative opinion out there from people that could not even successfully complete a high school drama course, there are 99 more who love you Erica Durance.

I have to watch Final Verdict on LMN again because I missed part of it. But I did catch the love scene and would like to contact Steve Beyers and ask him what is it like?! I can't stand it! Sweet dreams........Its All FINE ALRIGHT.

Portraying the role of a Lawyer is not exactly the same as the role of driving a bus wired with explosives and you can't go slower than 50mph! Has anyone out there ever paid close attention to their attorney? They can be pretty dry and boring with all their legalese, and your usually relieved you only had a 20 minute appointment.

Any one casting their self proclaimed legendary opinion as negative toward this film and the characters scripted, seem to have forgotten one important fact in all their complaining...... ITS A SCRIPT!! .. AND THE CHARACTERS WERE PORTEAYED JUST AS THEY WERE INTENDED.

I enjoyed this movie and will finish what I missed taking in the first time around. Thank you Lifetime Movie Network
