Alicia I love this movie so much

Cortechba Overrated

Steineded How sad is this?

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

alicespiral I like True Story films but not like this especially when its a murder no known of in the U K. But it seems nearer to the true story of how a disgraced detective wrote a book about it.Why was he disgraced? God knows it never said unless he was a racist. Whatever these flashbacks don't make for a complete story- as -it -happenned.It could have been so much more interesting if the book had not been like it was a main character in the story. The end was too quick and the way the killer was caught was not actually shown as it jumped the years just in time to here he'd got 25 years or something. But it just acts as a reminder that all these kind of murders where some teenager is snuffed out for no good reason-they usually say "crime oassionel" or something but it wasn't even that it was pretty senseless-deserve the death penalty.To deprive someone so young of having children and their parents grandchildren is to my mind a crime deserving of death.It reminds me of how much I favor the death penalty because no parent should have to bury their own child

MondaysMom16 too bad they showed palm trees that could not be more inaccurate for Connecticut in October ... this was filmed in New Zealand ...This Martha Moxley case had been 'cold' for 20-25 years ... her family worked hard to keep it alive and when Mark Fuhrman decided he did not want to be remembered only for his involvement in the Nicole Simpson case .... which could have been deleterious to his reputation (if it already hadn't)... Anyway, he followed along as the police tried to get enough information to write a book. ... with the use of flashbacks we can see the relationships Martha formed .... Unattended boys coming of age without a mother around to help and a dad who was always looped ...Plus the fact that they portray the real Martha as if she were a movie star... she was a cute sweet girl next door type. Other than that, the other characters were really great, especially Jon Foster and Toby Moore, who played as Michael Skakel and Tommy Skakel respectively. They were good as well, the costumers had to keep it all in the 70s look and back up to the 90s ....It kept my interest even when I caught on about the Skakel guy ....

mightymo-2 I was quite impressed with the narration by Martha and how it pulled on the emotional heartstrings of the audience as well as how it must have impacted the family. The forward-backward motion of the storyline was well-done, and normally I don't enjoy movies with the flash-back/flash-forward effects. I felt during the whole evolution of the movie that "surely Tommy did it". It leaves you with a sense of how these people lived their lives almost totally devoid of each other and the consequences of not having any desire to answer the question, "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?" And furthermore, "What the heck are they doing?"!! Or "Do I care?"!! Rich, spoiled brats literally getting away with murder. Or so they thought.......

morrowmmm It is hard to describe the disgust I feel at the tonality of this "made for TV" movie. A sensationalist, superficial piece of dross, over dramatised.It would have been tasteful if this had been a straight forward account of Mark Fuhrmann's account of how he broke the case. There was so much good that could have come out of this but all we get is a moronic piece of writing. I hope, Mr Dunne, that you did not fully approve of this.
