Gripping drama

This was highly well made and acted. A lawyer helps a grieving mother and he comes across a mystery that involves the tragic death of a teenaged girl. I really liked this film and the way that it was made. I was shocked by the evil that someone could be just for a bit of money. The lawyer's wife was too unsupportive that it was annoying. I give this a pleasant and talented 7.

The ultimate insurance scam

Most of this tale was hard to swallow: first you have a attorney who cares, then you have a case which appears to be totally unprovable, and finally, a woman who keeps pulling murders for insurance payoffs and getting away with it. Hard to believe this really took place. Good drama.

Ostensibly good story, but amateurish, unfocused execution

I'm confused. Is this a movie called `Death Benefit' that's about building a case in a homicide investigation, or is it a movie called `Family Neglect' about a professional man's responsibility to his family and his firm. Instead of staying focused on the true story, literally Every Other Scene is about how the protagonist is neglecting his insipid wife, his annoying son, his irritating secretary, or his stupid boss. All of these cardboard characters continually detract from what could have been a solid drama between two strong characters. Also, the director/editor keeps using quick-cut flashbacks in what I guess they think adds intensity, but the montage is so artlessly assembled, these only look like a student filmmaker's attempt to be arty.

Very Surreal!!

This movie was really good. It is a true case! Read the book, "Death Benefit" by David Heilbroner. There is another movie based on the same case but they changed some facts in the real story which I did not like. In the second movie, they implied the murdered girl had learning disabilities which was confusing and don't understand why they did that. The girl in the real story was mildly retarded. This movie was very accurate to the real story. People want to know THE REAL STORY! And all the details. This movie was very good. Loved the actor that played the lawyer!
