The robert wone case of washington dc ,2006-2010-____. A case that seems so obvious from the start, but fades deeper and deeper into olivion of the smoke laid by the defendants and their lawyers, and the proscecutioners and stupid teqnical mistakes done by their csi squad and homicide detectives. Its like playing ludo in stead off lido when deciding what kind of trial would be best for the fallout for the prosecutions case.

Peacock has really made the grounds for a very good product of true crime story telling, a very dissapointing conclusion to every part involved, though it couldve won even more credibility if they couldve got interviews of the ex defendants.

A well above feature movie length 2 part minitvseries packed with factuals, just a tiny percent of dramatization, therefore a recommend from the grumpy old man.

In the grand tapestry of true crime documentaries that dot our Netflix queues like so many unsolved mysteries, "Who Killed Robert Wone?" emerges as the dark horse that somehow gallops right into the absurdist theater. This documentary grabs you by the collar, tosses you into a rollercoaster, and halfway through, you're not sure if you're trying to solve a murder or decipher the plot of a David Lynch film. The filmmakers present a case so tangled that if Sherlock Holmes and Scooby-Doo teamed up, they'd end up debating the nature of reality instead of solving the crime.

Amidst the chaos, there's an odd charm to how seriously everyone takes themselves. You've got investigators throwing around theories that seem to have been inspired by a late-night binge of Agatha Christie novels, mixed with a bit of "Ancient Aliens" for good measure. And let's not overlook the true-crime sleuths, who, with their corkboards and red yarn, give off the vibe that they might just solve world hunger if they ever manage to untangle the mystery of Robert Wone's death.

By the end of "Who Killed Robert Wone?", you're left with more questions than answers, a slight headache, and an unexpected appreciation for the documentary's ability to make the utterly bewildering entertaining. Whether or not you come out of this cinematic labyrinth with any sense of closure is irrelevant; what matters is the journey - a bizarre, convoluted, yet strangely captivating trek through one of true crime's most peculiar cases.

I feel so angry after watching this movie. There are several huge villains here. First, it's the defendant' lawyer. He is a cold blood bastard and straight out lying all the time. Another surprising villain is the judge. She has no conscience and no brain. The last villain is Robert Wone's wife. If she is more cooperative with the police early on instead of helping the three suspects, the case might be solved. In the end, she settled down with the suspects because she "wanted peace". Then all the people helped her to solve the case have wasted their time and compassion. I gave the movie a thumb up. Not perfect but nicely done.
