davidslistening I watched it because of the story line. It is supposed to be based on a true life story but I have found nothing online about the incident. The film was a typical TV film and those who are judging it cant compare it to a 'real' movie'. Its like buying a budget phone and comparing it to the latest iPhone. The reviewer though who slated the cast except for Josie Davis gives a very interesting take on it seeing that the only reference to her being in the film seems to be from him. Not listed in the cast list as far as I can see and if you google it the only references to her in the film are from him.

phd_travel This has a slightly different angle. A woman is murdered. Everyone has an alibi and they can't prove anything. Faced with a closed case, the detective finds out the husband is having an affair. Unable to prove he is the killer, the detective gets her daughter to help investigate her father for the crime. It's quite scary because she is just a teenage girl and makes mistakes.The strangle ending is a bit clichéd. But it was refreshing they never found the actual shooter. Feel good element that she actually has a different biological father.Worth a watch.

taylorjonl This show is a perfect example of what not to do if you are a police officer and you want to lock up criminals.First off, the officer involves a minor in a police investigation putting her life in jeopardy. Second, the reason it ended with the father only getting convicted of soliciting a murder for hire is that all the evidence that was gathered by the daughter was probably thrown out of court, since the second the police officer suggested she be his *agent* anything they did was an illegal search and seizure.I gave the movie 5 out of 10 because it was slightly interesting but I spent most my time laughing at how many mistakes this police officer made.

jvandy3 I walked in the house to find my wife watching this. It was about half-way through and she was less than impressed; she said she was bored but could find nothing else on to watch. So, I sat watched the second half of the movie with her. This movie is awful. The script-writer, evidently, has no knowledge of police procedure, he certainly showed little indication that he knew anything about criminal law and police. Even though the character who is main police officer involved gets reprimanded for mishandling procedure by endangering a minor, his boss, evidently the chief of detectives, allows him to enter the family home alone! (Right at the moment of being reprimanded, the detective realized the girl must have met up with her step father while retrieving the gun for the police.) I found this whole plot device ludicrous; he had probable cause to go in to search the home. When he went in knowing the teen girl was in trouble, he went in alone! Wretched. Internal Affairs were watching him, but they should have also been watching the entire department. Overly dramatic too.
