Amour, meurtre et mensonges

A well rehearsed story that David Brown forced his daughter and sister in-law to relate to the police. His intention was to get his daughter out of the house so he could manipulate and seduce his sister in-law. He was the true personification of evil. The judge summed him up perfectly. Clancy Brown gave a magnificent performance. Moira Kelly was believable in her role as the loving daughter.

There seems to be several versions out there of this mini series out there between 2 hours 30 and 4 hours, the version i watched is i think the UK VHS version at 3 hours. From the very start this is a story that grips you and it helped my enjoyment of the mini series that i knew nothing of the sensational real life crime the movie depicts. Watched all in one go it does flag in places and does repeat and labour the story, however as it was intended to be seen in episodic format this most be forgiven. With a quite superb central performance by Clancy Brown with Sheryl Lee and Moira Kelly not far behind. It just drives home to me the depth of TV talent that never gets the recognition deserved or goes on to become major movie stars in the old sense. This TV mini series is very much worth watching and it does make you think about the power of manipulation.

If this movie were not based on a true story I wouldn't have believed the plot. However, knowing it is base on truth I definitely would recommend watching this for a lazy afternoon movie! This is one truly dysfunctional family, starting with the living arrangements David had with his second wife, her younger sister and Cinammon (the daughter from a previous marriage.)

The character of Cinammon did a great job and made her role very believable. From the start when she confessed to the murder of her step-mother, all the way to the ending.

This is my first review so I am afraid to write too much as I don't want to give away too much information, but I do recommend it, especially for people that love true crime drama's! I hope this review is somewhat helpful.

Love, Lies and Murder is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Clancy Brown, Sheryl Lee, Moira Kelly, Tom Bower, Ramon Bieri, Cynthia Nixon, Nestor Serrano, John M. Jackson, John Ashton, Shelley Morrison, Cathryn de Prume, Gerry Bamman, Paul Perri, and Joe D'Angerio. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Brown is really excellent in this film. I thought that he performed good. So is Jackson! The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good by Charles Bernstein. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Clancy Brown, Sheryl Lee, Moira Kelly, Tom Bower, Ramon Bieri, Cynthia Nixon, Nestor Serrano, John M. Jackson, John Ashton, Shelley Morrison, the rest of the cast in the film, Thrillers, Mystery, Dramas, and interesting True Stories then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

This movie holds your interest from start to finish. The whole time I am watching this movie I was just in utter disbelief that these events actually happened. Again, the truth is always much more entertaining than fiction. Worth a look see.
