10:44 - Hora da Morte

CEO Robert Loring intends to publicly confess something. Before that happen, he gets murdered by his blackmailer. FBI Special Agent Jordan Price (Kathleen Robertson) takes over the investigation. She is partnered with local police detective Elliot Larken. The time of death was 10:44pm. While on a stakeout, a suspect is thrown off a building at exactly the same time of the day.

The start is really dry. The investigation is all stocks and money and boring. The two leads start sleeping together right away and there is no heat. It's over thirty minutes before the wacky murder premise is introduced. That is a problem. The movie should open with this ridiculous premise whether it's silly or not. They have to double-down. It's better than being bored to death for the first half hour. The FBI could come in after discovering this odd quirk of time. The investigation still doesn't get that much better.

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

The movie wasn't so bad after all. But... clearly the end is totally nonsense. Who's the real killer and the real victim?

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.

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