    An Okay Lifetime Movie

    This film begins in 1986 with a former prostitute named "Joyce Peterson" (Delilah Hamlin) who is now working as a nurse and heading to the hospital to start her shift. Since her father, "Stan Peterson" (Donavon Stinson), is somewhat intoxicated, Joyce decides to hitchhike to work alone. Unfortunately, Stan is devastated to learn that her body has been found the next day. Fast forward two years, and a young woman named "Linda Murphy" (Sarah Drew) graduates from the police academy and reports for duty the following day. It is then that she discovers that several other sex workers have been killed recently and volunteers to go undercover as a prostitute to gather information. However, what she doesn't realize is the emotional toll she will have to bear to solve the case. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a decent Lifetime movie, which suffered to some degree from the rather generic format associated with films of that kind. That said, although it's not a great movie by any means, I suppose it passed the time reasonably well, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

    This was actually quite okay...

    Well, I have to admit that my beforehand view of the 2023 crime mystery thriller "How She Caught a Killer" might have been a bit tarnished by it being a Lifetime movie. But still, I opted to sit down and watch the movie, giving it a fair chance.

    The storyline in "How She Caught a Killer", as written by Yuri Baranovsky and Angela Gulner, was actually a fairly good one. Sure, there were aspects to the storyline that were generic, but for a crime mystery thriller, then the movie actually proved to be entertaining enough for what it turned out to be.

    The acting performances in the movie were good, and there were a couple of semi-familiar faces on the cast list, those being Eric Keenleyside and Jamall Johnson.

    If you enjoy crime mystery thrillers, then give director Robin Hays's 2023 movie "How She Caught a Killer" a chance. I was adequately entertained by what it turned out to be.

    My rating of "How She Caught a Killer" lands on a six out of ten stars.

    Not bad

    Better than I thought it would be....... Based on a true story about a serial killer killing prostitutes on route 40....... The acting is good and the characters believable..... . I actually enjoyed it .......Usually lifetime movies aren't the best and the acting mediocre at best......watch it you'll be pleasantly surprised......Sarah drew is a great little actor as the new cop pretending to be a prostitute to trap the serial killer. She genuinely cares about the working ladies and wants to protect them. I was hoping for a romance between her and the FBI agent played by Jamall Johnson.........
