The Hammer

I loved this! I thought it was going to be a seres but just realized it's only a movie. I'm sad. I don't like Lifetime that much but this would make me watch the network. I loved Reba and I thought this would be the same. It has Reba's humor Aston a drama. I love who they had for the cast. I was worried at the beginning due to the acting from the policeman that pulled her over for speeding. His acting was terrible. The type that normally comes from lifetime movies. But the rest of the story picked up pretty quickly. I love that it has. Rex Linn and. Melissa Petterman in it. This has so much potential to be a series.

I see three reviews that say based on previews they thought this was a series but it's a one time movie. Well make that 4. I figured it out when I set the recording and it wasn't a series. I also have to agree this would make a decent series. I think Reba's character is perfect for it. But it would stretch credulity to have Kim solving a new murder every week in this setting, and that was pretty much what the story behind this movie was. It's a murder mystery set with a quirky irreverent country judge.

Not content with solving a murder and a frame up, Judge Kim also has to bring justice to a bunch of young women who are at the short end of a drug rehab system with too few checks and balances.

I enjoyed the quirkiness but not so much the mystery.

I loved this movie and thought it was the premiere of a series. I am disappointed. I hope the powers that be see the potential to make it a series. I will certainly tune in. I didn't know Reba had such great comedic timing. She is funny!!!! Her character had a tough exterior but a soft heart that gave the movie much substance. You can tell throughout the film there is a trauma she has been through, making her a fantastic judge. I wish our justice system were like this. Great clean entertainment in a time when it is hard to find movies like the good ole days! I will watch it again since I taped it!

Loved this movie. Always been a fan of Reba and she didn't disappoint. The rest of the cast was excellent. The movie really was written like it was a pilot episode for a series. When I first heard about Reba starring in The Hammer I just assumed it was a series and was surprised to find out it was a movie. I really hope that it becomes a series on a network or a series of movies.

It would really be a shame to be a one of movie because the characters were great and there is a built in fan base having Reba as the lead.

It was also fun to see Reba acting with Melissa Peterman again and the inclusion of her real life boyfriend , Rex Linn.

When I first saw the trailer I didn't realise it was for a film, it felt like was going to be a series and I was really disappointed to find out it was a one off (even more so now I've watched it)

All I can say is I want more!! Please make this into a series, I need more Kim Wheeler and the rest of the cast. There's so much potential for character development and stories and the character dynamics that felt very natural just anchored everything together.

Something else that really stood out was the natural humour that flower throughout the whole film, compared to the usual forced humour in US exports.

Brilliant film, but now I want more.
