The plot originates from a television show called ‘Real Crime’. In the interview, host Dale Jones (Brian Krause “Charmed”) is interviewing former district attorney Holly Powell (Kelly Sullivan – “The Producers”) whom he suggests convicted wife killer Judge Halstead (Billy Miller) out of her ambition instead of having substantial evidence.
What if someone has been wrongly accused years ago? Unfortunately, the only thing wrong with this movie is that it was made at all. If I had anything to do with it, this film would have received the death penalty and never be allowed to see the light of day again.
All of the performances are horrible except for Theo (Corin Nemec – “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”), who is a romantic red herring. Holly and her father James (Marco St. John) give particularly bad performances as two principal characters in this terrible movie. However, their acting skills may not be entirely responsible for such disasters; especially Kelly Sullivan lacks talent due to being poorly directed by first-time director Karyn Klein.
Basically, somebody wants an attorney’s reputation ruined forever along with everything else they hold dear until life itself ceases within them; which could involve either one man who truly deserves what he gets or another person victimized by his or her own ambitions. Unfortunately though, Nemec’s script fails dismally in meeting these expectations through leaving many gaps unfilled, employing silly conversations and displaying unrealistic responses towards events like when some cop feigns suicide; also throughout scenes featuring James talking over each other unintelligibly while failing to involve real police officers during developments where people are being murdered left right center this ain’t Mayberry but Biloxi Mississippi we’re talking about here folks!
Do we need to mention that most scenes were accompanied by some kind of musical track? Just imagine what you hear in low-quality daytime soaps playing over and over again endlessly without any change whatsoever. It features a lot of piano sounds mixed with strings but is more annoying than suspenseful if at all it was supposed to create tensions.
I must admit, I still held some hope even after things started going south fast. Nevertheless, the ninety minutes I spent watching this were completely wasted and cannot be recovered; especially since it wasn’t my fault in the first place. So trust me when I tell you: go directly to jail before receiving an identical verdict.
The opening and closing credits roll while a catchy country song called “You’re Still (My Hometown)” by Pistol Black plays softly in the background; Chase Waters is credited as an actor who looks exactly like Pistol Black – he also appears as Dale Jone’s AD at the TV studio scenes.
