    Better Than Average Crime Film - Dear Murderer

    This crime film was one of the best one hour stories you will ever see on the screen. Only the end was unsatisfying for me (which I will not reveal). The first hour, however, was delicious. The acting is very good for a B troupe, and the direction is tight and professional. The English are very good at getting right to the point when it comes to mysteries; and this is one of their best. I have this perverse gene that makes me root for the criminal to always get away with the crime they are committing. And this film was no different. I wanted badly for him to pull it off. Tune in on this one; it will hold your attention.

    A Gem in the Rough - Dear Murderer

    See it. All of the acting is first-rate and the story and dialogue are quite believable. I just did not care for the ending. Despite the ending, it was a riveting hour and change for a good crime film. It is a perfect model for framing both your unfaithful wife and her lover(s). The only problem with the film other than the ending was I would not have framed her second lover; I would have framed her, instead. But that's me, and not this poor sap. See it for yourself; you will not be disappointed.
