Alright, let's chat about "To Kill a Stepfather"! So, I watched the movie, and I have to say, it had this promising murder mystery setup, but boy, did it have its fair share of issues. You know what I mean? Ok, don't even get me started on the predictability! I kept guessing the twists before they even happened.
But you know what really saved the movie for me? The scenes with mother and daughter, Nicole and Kate. Nicole brought this genuine emotional depth to the character. I really liked her performance! She had this authentic vibe going on, which made her scenes with her sister Riley, super engaging. But it always felt like something was missing. Maybe it was the script not giving her character enough depth, or maybe it was the lack of well-rounded character development overall for all the characters. But I kept feeling like there was this untapped potential in her performance that never fully emerged. I will say however, her performance was grounded and believable, not fake, just felt untapped. And then there's Kate! I really liked her portrayal Kate. She managed to capture this raw, emotional turmoil of a woman battling addiction and facing murder accusations. I mean, that scene where she's confronting Nicole and firing her as her lawyer - wow, talk about intense! Sometimes she was a little over the top, but overall, good!
The subtle clues scattered throughout the story keep you engaged, trying to piece everything together, which kept the films momentum up, but overall it didn't feel super strong. Just very simple. Each revelation uncovers another layer of the family's history, making you question the intentions and relationships of the characters involved, which I liked. But then their characters weren't given the proper development they deserved. It's a lifetime movie afterall. You know, one thing that really got me scratching my head was how the cops missed such a crucial piece of evidence - that heart-shaped locket under the rug where he dies! I mean, Nicole found it during her "Nancy Drew" investigation at her family home, but seriously, how on earth did the detectives overlook something so significant? It's like they weren't even trying!
So, while "To Kill a Stepfather" had its issues, it was ultimately Nicole's performance and the moms standout portrayal that kept me invested in the story. Despite some predictability, the plot manages to maintain a level of intrigue that keeps you invested until the very end. You want to see how it all unravels, and you're curious to know if your suspicions about the true culprit are correct. But man, those cops missing the locket and leaving the laptop that's just baffling! They seriously need to brush up on their detective skills Overall, "To Kill a Stepfather" had some major storytelling issues, the mother daughter--they're the reason I wouldn't totally write off the movie.
