To Kill a Stepfather

This felt, to me, like Lifetime was trying this out as a pilot for a new series. The plot was basic and very contrived. All back stories were thrown in as single sentences, explained in a throw away conversation. No real character development, as if writers wanted to save that for "when the show got picked up". Because of this, I found none of the characters interesting or even terribly likeable.

The conversations were all just ones liners that were meant to show (I think) how smart/clever/witty the characters were but there seemed to be no real conversations. The chemistry between the 2 lawyers was so bad that I didn't realize until halfway through the movie that they had previously been in a relationship - I thought they just went to school together.

I love a " bad" Lifetime movie, but this was just a bad movie.

This film is a fun and exciting roller coaster from start to finish. What may start as a typical Lifetime Film, is elevated by the performances of the cast. The show is truly stolen by the lead actress Alex Camacho who truly shines in a leading role that has you terrified for her as she hunts for the killer. She is empathetic and stern when necessary but has a powerful and commanding control of any room she is in. This actresses star will only continue to shine and I can't wait to watch her star in more projects. The supporting cast of family and fellow townspeople round out a truly talented ensemble and this makes for a delightful watch.

Usually I'm not a fan of lifetime movies because they can be cringy and predictable. This one was nothing like that! The chemistry and emotions between Nicole and her mom felt so real. There was the perfect amount of drama/mystery/predictability.

The actress who plays Nicole is absolutely gorgeous and brings such realness and emotion. I would love to see her in more movies and shows. Alex was hypnotizing with her acting.

Honestly all the actors did amazing and made all the connections/relationships seem legitimate. I think they picked a great cast. I might even start watching lifetime movies now because of this one.

Couldn't take my eyes off of the beautiful redhead. She is clearly bound for greatness. More please!

I've never been a big lifetime movie guy. In fact I think this is the first one I've ever seen.

I was hooked right from the very beginning. The Lead actress and her mother had great chemistry. I could feel the "lifetime" of turmoil and tension between them. Sister Riley also did a fantastic job.

This movie did a nice job within is murder mystery genre. The family had fun guessing "who" in the cast of characters "done it".

It is a visually well shot movie that maintains a constant state of suspense for the viewer.

Alex Camacho had beautiful moments through out, and left me wanting more.

Sequel???

To Kill a Stepfather was a really great movie!! This isn't your cliché murder mystery. My fiancé and I watched it together and we had so much fun trying to figure out who did it (unfortunately, he figured it out before I did)! The movie had many twists and turns that kept our attention throughout.

The main actress, Nicole (Alex Camacho), was wonderful. This was the first movie that we have seen her in but probably not the last. She had such an elegant yet powerful way about her. Her demeanor, her voice and her smile really made the movie!

I would definitely watch this movie again. Don't forget the popcorn!
