Saw this one on LMN this week. All-in-all not a bad thriller to watch on a Sunday evening. Acting is better than expected and Amanda Schull stands out particularly. The movie starts out sort of like SCREAM where a famous actress (you can probably guess which one) gets whacked within the first 5 minutes. From there, lots of exposition in the first 25 minutes, with references to places and people we never see. So a DVR is a must while watching. The plot starts to pick up after the first commercial break and then we're off to the races. The pace quickens and the tension builds up pretty well up until the end. Now, there is a twist at the end of the movie (pretty shocking actually) so make sure you watch all the way through. How you feel how about the twist will undoubtedly effect your thoughts on the movie as a whole. Did you buy it or not? That is the question.

Not a bad flick for a Lifetime movie. I'm only writing this review because it was better than the typical Lifetime "made for TV" thrillers and has a darker edge to it. I was really surprised with the twist at the end.Generally speaking the performances were good, although it's totally obvious Michael Nouri is guilty the first time you see him. Amanda Schull was really good, loved her chemistry with Freddie the private investigator.R.I.P to James Avery, kind of sad to see him end his career with a lesser role, but he did play a good judge.Plot/Logic issues aside, good low budget thriller.

What a stupid movie.A prosecuting attorney in a serial killer case needs to become the defense attorney when her close relative-a former judge- with whom she lives, is accused of being the killer.And if you think that is far fetched wait for all the other ludicrous plot twists and turns.The picture looks like it was made on a shoe string budget, and the only reason I give a vote one above the lowest mark is i) I saw the film to the end ii) there was a half decent song at the conclusion, and iii) the actor playing the former judge- given the atrocious story and script-did not do so bad compared to all the other hams.What a load of tripe!2/10

Saw this movie the other night with my wife. An underrated thriller for a TV movie. Strong acting and script. Lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing. Surprising scope in this one. Film was also shot and edited quite nicely. Amanda Schull and Michael Nouri we're stand outs. Ann Ramsey was really good too. The court room scenes were also well put together.**SPOILER - The best scene of the movie has to be Gina Gershon getting impaled with the California State Flag in the first 5 minutes. Classic!I was surprised I was glued to my seat till the twist at the end. Good movie to watch on a Saturday night. Highly recommend.
