The story was interesting until the last 40 minutes when it turned highly predictable.
And the end was very mellow for me.

Standard story, and lost steam near the end. Overall, good performances, dialogue above average for a TV movie. Leads have great chemistry.

Time of Death is an intriguing film that encompasses murder and romance.
People are being killed at 10:41 - with the killer actually checking his watch. An FBI agent (Kathleen Robertson) is brought in, and soon the murders are connected to a long-ago case that was called accidental.
I found this interesting, but it was solved too quickly and became predictable.
Average tv movie. Someone on IMDb stopped watching because he couldn't stand the lead woman's crossed eyes. Really? Her eyes are a little too close together- she probably had strabismus - so did Norma Shearer - and had to train the weak eye by wearing a patch. No care was taken with lighting or camera angles in this film. She was hardly a monster from outer space. And what a nasty thing to say.

The movie has everything to be ok but the final is really bad!
Horrible. Disappointed. Don't waste your time.

This is a great film, I can't get over how many good films I'm getting to see the afternoon by channel 5 uk. They may call them B movies and STVs but they are far better than that. This one is excellent, great story gorgeous actors, shot really well, great background music. Plus good love story too. It's got it all, give it a go. It doesn't pretend to be CSI like a lot of films these days. I figured it out but hey that's half the fun. Enjoy this it's a good one. I am curious how these films get neglected and don't' run on prime time on our TV maybe they do in the States. It makes no sense. Maybe the Hollywood players have all the power and control the A lists, well it's about time they realised that the likes of this film are just as good if not better than some of the rubbish they throw millions of dollars at. Hey here's an idea how about making all the Hollywood lot take a pay cut, and Uk footballers,then you'd get really good people doing it for the love of it.

SPEAK UP !!!! mumble mumble mumble. I'm not deaf, but I had to increase the volume constantly. She was speaking softly, into her coat, sideways. Surely at drama school students are told to speak clearly !!!
Haven't a clue what was happening half the time with this film, because Ms Robertson has most of the unintelligible dialogue.
If actors/actresses continue to perform in this way then the sound engineers need to up their game so the audience can hear. Even Nicole Kidman 'whispers' her performance - nightmare.

This is about the worst movie I can recall seeing in the past couple decades. What plot there is has nothing to recommend it, The acting is completely lackluster, and the main character is so deadpan she makes Joe Friday from the original Dragnet tv show appear to have been over-emoting to the point of hysteria.
My personal rating system within the imdb universe is as follows:
1 Star - complete waste of time, to the point where I couldn't stand to watch it all the way to the end and turned it off. Usually this is 1/2 hour to 1 hour into the film. There are too many films worth seeing for me to waste much time on the turkeys.
2 Stars - basically a One Star movie, that I happened to watch all the way to the end. While I know I wasted time I can never get back there is a late night effect that makes me not want to start something else too late. So I take the attitude I always had when I went to the movies in theaters and paid cold hard cash to get in. To quote The Who - "Won't get fooled again."
4 Stars - I am basically house-bound so I watch a lot of gubbage that I really probably shouldn't. A 4 star movie is not a complete loss - although it can come pretty close. It certainly is nothing I would ever be willing to watch again. I know when I look up a film and discover I previously gave a flick a 4 star rating I will never make that mistake again. Consequently this is the most important rating I make. a 6 Stars - this is a reasonable movie and I could end up watching it again.
8 Stars - Good movies get 8 stars. If I've not seen them recently I will probably watch them again.
9 or 10 stars - a great movie. This is the sort of film I can watch almost any number of times, sometimes even over a very short space of time - like the time I watched "Bringing Up Baby" twice in two nights. Were I to use my preferred rating system I would make 4 Stars the top rating, with a symbol for complete trash (ie Leonard Maltin's BOMB rating). Quite frankly I think that 5 ratings in total more than adequately covers the field. Were I to publish a book like Shearer or Maltin or some others, I would not bother with half stars
My ratings are specific to my taste, obviously, but I think they give a pretty good indication of how I think others would react to these same movies, If they started with my rather eclectic taste and background. I tend to avoid Soaps, and "Heartwarming" movies altogether and my ratings reflect my distaste for this sort of gubbage. I am not an "It's A Wonderful Life" fan. Give me the
I like BITTER tales of nasty people gleefully doing vile things to each other - but usually with a sense of humour - or at least one of irony. I tend to avoid romantic comedies and "Scrooge" related stuff (although the Alistair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol" is a film I have watched roughly 1.5 times per decade since it first showed up on television in the 1950s. I've seen a couple other versions too - but mostly I can tell by watching the Trailers for these flicks that I would not be willing to watch the full movie (see "Heartwarming" above).

Thought I could get over the female star's crossed eyes; but the plot was so horrendous that her weirdness didn't really matter, because I looked for another movie to watch less than half way through.
Man in power meets younger women/girl through work, and she adores him. Nope! Not this time. Finally a movie with a strong female lead, where a younger man is assigned to work for her. The young man adores the older woman and falls in love. Finally on screen! I love it! This movie takes a big step of representing a female lead, most actors in the movie (including the extras) are stil men, men, men... maybe one day, we will see a movie, with more females than men. I wish.
Also not to forget to mention the storyline. Important topic. Exploited women, and boys/men misusing their power. I won't go into details... watch the movie!!!

The movie wasn't so bad after all. But... clearly the end is totally nonsense. Who's the real killer and the real victim?
Every cop/mystery cliche you've ever seen appears in this film. From the gruff chief detective to the romance between the investigators and all those cardboard coffee cups that magically show up in investigators hands. There's even a street chase...which ends predicably. And that's one of the many, many things wrong with this movie. You can predict...with a high degree pf probability what will happen next, so there's no tension. Oh, and one more thing; the movie viewer has a visual clue that the movie characters don't as to who's doing the killing. That too removes a lot of potential tension which is crucial for a story like this.
No tension and stereotyped characters make for frustrating viewing. Throw in a truly over the top soundtrack and you've got one bad movie here.

CEO Robert Long gets dispatched at exactly 10:44 PM. Oh no now another dissipating at 10:44 gives title to this movie. "Time of Death" (2013).
Well FBI (female) sent into work with a local detective (male) to deal with murder, bureaucracy, and possible military contract problems. They follow the standard red herrings and we are pretty much shown upfront with the truth and what consequences are when you're not looking in the right place.
Even though this was standard formula and there was no Butler to come out of the closet at the last minute and confess, the acting was exceptional, and everything fit a reality that you can appreciate. There were no holes to drive trucks through, no overdone loud music in the background, or any other common mistakes made in today's films.
After everything is said and done in the story is unfolded and most loose ends wrapped up you will realize this would've made a great pilot and wonder why it was never followed up.
