In the Footsteps of Killers

Is it a documentary or a dramatisation of two people investigating? It doesn't know what it wants to be.

Emilia Fox happened to star in a crime drama and is now playing the role of a cold case investigator. I can't tell if she's being her or 'acting'. Whatever it is....it ain't good.

The interaction between the two 'leads' is very weird. They don't have a normal conversation instead they just reel off know detail to each other as if reading off cue cards.

The piano music overlaying the speech is annoying and the camera appears to be operated by someone with Parkinsons disease.

Why? Just why? Scripted 'documentary' Production is awful. Camera doesn't keep still Don't waste your time.

If I could give a minus score I would, Very disrespective to the families.

No conclusion just maybes and what if this happened. Even the music is meant to sound like "Silent Witness" really shocking anyone who make or be part of this.

What a shame. This could have been a good investigation if proper ex police investigators were used. This is just a staged, almost pseudo-documentary, but with real victims and their distraught families. This feels like exploitation of tragic events to make scripted-reality worthy of one of the History Channel's awful alien/bigfoot 'investigation' programmes. I feel so sorry for the families and they deserve better than this.

This has the potential to be really good, but I agree with other reviews. Emilia seems to be acting, I kept thinking I was watching a drama when it went to her; so wrong and weird!
