Puzzle criminel

As is the trouble with many TV movies, this one was cast with one of the darlings of the small screen regardless of the fact that she doesn't fit in the role. Sweetheart of a romantic comedy or abused wife she can do, but Valerie Bertinelli just doesn't play well here. Neither does Harry Hamlin. This could have been made well as a TV movie using unknowns or lesser-knowns that actually meshed with the book's feel of who the characters are. From the opinions of friends and family, those who didn't read the books thought this TV version was pretty good. Those of us who loved the book wish we would have just re-read it and skipped this movie.

I just finished watching this on TNT. They ran all four hours from midnight to 4:00 am. I'm tired, but very pleasantly surprised by this movie.

The storyline was suspenseful and kept me guessing for the first three hours. I'm usually very good at figuring things out so it took me a while. The plot in the second half of the movie didn't feel quite as credible as the first half, but perhaps watching it in it's entirety is to blame for that. It might have played better had I seen it over two nights as it originally aired.

Valerie Bertinelli did a more than adequate job and Harry Hamlin handed in a much better performance than I've ever seen him give before. When his character was telling the story of his family tragedy to Bertinelli's character, I was completely engrossed and found him to be totally believable. I was impressed with his range. Pruitt Taylor Vince did an wonderful job. He portrayed just the right amount of creepiness.

I never read the book so I have nothing to compare it to. (I definitely want to read it now, though!) The end of the movie left me feeling somewhat dissatisfied. I don't enjoy stories that leave you with unanswered questions unless there is going to be a sequel. There obviously wasn't a second movie. Since I'm not familiar with Hoag's work, I wonder if there is a second book that addresses this issue. Does anyone know?

What a great movie. I loved it! I just recently decided to write a review on it. I was never really going to watch it, but got hooked within the first 10 minutes. I thought the acting was superb, the story line was great, and the movie over all freaked me out with all the suspense. if anyone ever finds out when it is coming back on tv, on any channel. please post the info. i really want to see it again. i liked the movie so much, i went out and bought the book. i read the novel and it too was great. excellent story.

what can i say about this movie. i think this was the best mini-series i ever saw. this was a good mystery movie that kept me on the edge of my seat. valerie bertinelli was perfect for the role of megan o'malley. i would recommend this movie for everybody. if you like mystery and suspense you should watch this movie.

Megan O'Malley is a female FBI investigator who takes over jurisdiction in a small town called Dear Lake. When a young boy named Josh is abducted, Megan leads the investigation which than leads to a bigger series of abductions and murders dating back over the last twenty years. Whilst all this is going on, Megan starts dating police chief Mitch Holt, another guy who is also working on the case.

Night Sins is a good mini series. The acting is really good, but just a little weak. The story here is really exciting and the whole movie is just great.
