| User ReviewBobby LAmazing acting, intriguing mystery that jumps chronlogy (in a fitting way, not 'hey we are cool, so do this' kind of way). It's sort of a sexual-thriller/ whodunit/ cop procedural. The movie gets a tad bogged in the middle, seeming to be a little to long, despite it's scant 95 minutes. Thora Birch is spectular as the lead, and she has a sexiness and fierceness, and the movie does keep the tension up. |
| User ReviewAmber FSays it's based on a true story. I think Thora Birch is still a very good actress and this film wasn't half bad. The whole time your trying to figure out what actually happened and did she in fact murder one or both of them... |
| User ReviewCarolyn GThe movie lagged a lot, and aside from being a psycho prozzie murderer, Thora Birch was quite adorable... |
| User ReviewDeb Jthis is on dvd so decided to watch. it's really slow & boring at parts but i sat it through and glad i did. the movie is pretty good..made me think who really is behind the 2 killings... love movies that make me think. |
| User ReviewKieran KBased loosely on the life and murder cases of Barbara Hoffman, this movie however failed to capture the supposed bizarre and sensational twists of events leading up to the murders. I tried to watch this movie not once but three times. I fell asleep on two occasions and only the third time did I force myself to keep awake. The film for some reason keep me very removed from the characters, from the dialogue to the set, to the look of the film. It was too cold and and too distant, which all became kind of nothing in the end. In the end, that was how I felt watching the movie: totally disconnected. If you looked at the real Barbara Hoffman, there's something quite disturbing about her silent and removed disposition. Birch's performance, while it was commendable, seemed to be more bored and disinterested. |
| User ReviewPej DI cant recall how I ever came across this one...but the description and the fact it was based on a bizarre true case out of Wisconsin caught my interest. Unfortunately, this movie is not nearly as interesting. Cast with mostly no name actors, minue Thora Birch as the lead, the acting is subpar. The writing is drab. And the pace of the film is horrendously slow. The movie played more like a TV Movie of the Week. |
| User ReviewSeychelle GUnnecessarily constant, confusing flashbacks, bland unlikeable characters. When I say unlikeable, I mean even the nasty ones just aren't engaging. The main character never seems to show any hint of a real personality-- sure, she's supposed to be mysterious, but come on. |
| User ReviewKelly TI enjoyed this litte thriller film...And how Brendan Sexton is up grown up now "bless" |
| User ReviewMichael SBarbara Hoffman fue en los 80s el primer juicio televisado de la Historia. Esta peculiar joven, Mejor promedio en la Universidad en Biologia de dia y la prostituta mas reconicida de Madison de noche, que fue acusada del asesinato de un cliente y de su prometido es aun un misterio. Thora Birch interpreta a Barbara en una pelicula bastante hibrida, y a la que le falta fuerza, el director confunde la aparente Sangre Fria de Barbara con una apatia que evidentemente el personaje no tenia, y que ademas se contagia a los que lo rodean. El resultado un filme Aburrido. |
| User ReviewDan LKind of strange murder mystery movie. Thora Birch gives a pretty good performance as a semi-serial killer in Madison, Wisconsin. The story moved along pretty slowly but had some interesting twists. No need to chase this one down. |
