An Australian Hallmark Mystery Movie Look-Alike

A decent evening movie that's clean enough mom can watch it. Looks like a series pilot.

Odd but watchable with twist at the end

Somewhat bizarre in terms of the chocolate woman and her boot fetish, but keeps you interested and just when you think thats all abit boring there is a twist in the tale. Not a bad effort if slightly quirky.

Boring, slow, mystery unfair

Acting a bit weak. No chemistry between leads. Too long. Production values ok. Sound recording good. Editing ok. Script needed work to tie up loose ends offer false leads. Midway between a weak cop show and a cozy mystery.

Odd style choice for main female character

I couldn't get past the main female character wearing knee high boots in summer with sleeveless dresses. Then in one scene she has taupe boots on one minute and the next frame black........same scene. Strange.

So that's how they make chocolates

A nice little show out of Sydney, with the interesting sideline of watching how handmade chocolates are created, and the use of them throughout the plot was novel.

David Wenham is great as the world-weary Detective Bennett O'Meara. We see some over-acting from the enthusiastic support team. I can understand their zeal given the few opportunities that occur outside the soaps on Australian TV. Aaron Glenane is very entertaining as Travis the computer geek.

The plot has a satisfying number of red-herrings and twists and it's worth a look to see the scenery, the coast is spectacular.
