Perfect Movie

I have seen this movie before and enjoyed it very much. It is not your average mystery drama in my opinion, but rather similar to the popular criminal documentary programs in as much as it doesn't follow a regular fictional-Hollywood type plot but takes on a more realistic pace. This movie is based on a true story about a troubled man who is accused of murdering his wife and brings the audience into the case by allowing them to see the different views and attitudes of the investigators, the accused and others that are involved in either side. I recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys watching criminal documentary style programs.

RE:Mitzi Kapture

Great Movie. Actually Nick Searcy is one of my favorite actors. He always gives a first rate performance. He couldn't give a bad one if his life depended on it. I really enjoyed him as head of security in 7 days.

This time around he plays a b**tard husband and boy did I really hate him. Tells you what a fine actor he is doesn't it???

As for Mitzi Kapture, welllllllllll. I never saw Silk Stalkings so I don't really know her work as an actor but honestly, I was not impressed. She is a very beautiful woman but (I don't know why) maybe she was miscast in this role. Better luck with future roles, Mitzi.

Don't waste your time, like I did.

Okay, so maybe the acting wasn't bad, but I am typing this review as a public service to prevent anyone else who happens upon the intriguing beginning of this telefilm from throwing away two hours of their life waiting for some plot development that will never come. The chief investigator has a gut feeling who did away with the missing marine officer (Guy), and few people other than uninvolved bystanders and the accusee seem to dispute her. So what is the point of staying with this drama? Beats the heck out of me. I kept thinking (or hoping) there would be some sort of plot twist or new revelation, but none was forthcoming. In summary, I cannot think of a single reason to sit and watch this pointless TV movie, based on a true story or not.

I was fortunate enough o be an extra on this film

I was fortunate enough to be an extra on this film, I got to walk out of a door behind jasmine guy and then later in the movie i walked out of a door behind Mitzi Kapture. My part was "lawyer #3" although I am not listed in the credits, of course. It was my only extra experience and it was a lot of fun, if anyone here has the opportunity, I would recommend it to all. The lunch was so good I would have done it for lunch alone. I am hoping to do it again soon, although it has been a long time since I got to be an extra. The movie was filmed in Wilmington, NC, and my three scenes were all conveniently filmed on a Sunday... lovely town Wilmington, and hot if you want to be an actor.

Mitzi Kapture better than ever

This is very good film. It's very exciting till the end of the movie. But most I enjoyed the comeback of Mitzi Kapture, after Silk Stalkings, one of my favourite series. She plays better than ever. Also it was nice to see back Jasmine Guy after a long time, even when she had not a great part in this movie. Not to forget the good playing of Nick Searcy. All in all I liked the movie and can only say: See the movie and make your own opinion.

Her husband, Robert Peter Russell, was arrested, tried and convicted of her murder after the Government discovered a 26-step "recipe for murder" among his personal items. The Government's theory was that she was shot behind the ear by her husband with a .25 caliber handgun and then her body was disposed in an abandoned mine shaft in Pennsylvania. Her body has never been found.
