Fatal Acquittal (2014 TV Movie) User Reviews

2nd Rate "who done it"!

[davyd-02237 · 5/10 · 8 February 2019]

Given we start with a murder, which shows "who could have", but as we progress, you have 1 person being nice and everyone else, including an equally "2nd rate" police woman being thoroughly hostile. There isn't much of a plot here and neither is there a decent list of suspects which make this one rather easy to work out, although the "why" isn't quite so obvious. Youre likely only to watch once, if at all. Even the leggy Miss Richards isn't able to lift this one to a higher level!

Oh Lucy Lucy Lucy!

What an obnoxious brat Lucy, huh? Instead of giving her mother the benefit of the doubt and trusting her, she trashed her throughout the movie! Oh and not even a single verbal apology in the end?!

Good plot, poor delivery

This film has a good basic plot and could have led to a better than average production but with a slightly predictable twist that can be easily spotted due to the lack of other options. Perhaps if the budget had been bigger to allow for more suspects it would have been more interesting. It could probably make a pleasant lazing afternoon time killer but it's not a high powered thriller. The only problem with it, and it's a big one, is the stilted acting. The characters often appear to be polarized and have little depth. This could be down to the directing rather than the actors skills as it seems to have effected the entire cast.

Don't waste your time.

This is so bad that it's unrealistic and predictable at the same time. Let me give you an example: the brother in law decides to upgrade the woman's security system, gets a locksmith into the house, to change the locks, while she is inside, without notifying her beforehand, without even ringing the doorbell to let her know that someone "legit" is there. Who the hell does that, especially to somebody who is terrorised by an intruder?!

Really bad actors.

None of the characters are sympathetic or believable.

I am sick and tired of the angry child who treats a parent like trash, while the parent and everyone around just takes it. In the end, all is OK. As another reviewer already pointed out, no apology, nothing. All bad behaviour is forgotten.
