So, great acting, similar story as you have heard 1000 times, completely terrible ending which wasted the whole movie for me, thanks Clint. I think Clint Eastwood was trying to be clever here but it fell flat for me. So you build up characters you care about then completely kill the movie with a stupid ending why tell the story in the first place?. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I expect the ending of any movie to finish the story the movie started, this one didn't. For me it's an immediately forgetful movie that is not a classic in any way unless you like stupid endings. Clint give it a bye, great movie with a stupid ending. If you like disappointing/anticlimactic endings then this movie is for you. What a shame and a waste of talent in all aspects of the movie.

First off I take my hat off to Lifetime Movies for such a great docudrama movie. Although there is a disclaimer at the start of the movie that some of the content has been "reconstructed" I have to say as an avid follower of the actual case this docudrama has to be around 98% accurate with only 2 sequences that seemed not to be mentioned in the trial. It must have taken a lot of soul searching for the producer(s) to show the actual shooting as none of the documentaries I have watched show the actual shooting except in "cartoon" or "model" mode. Bill Pullman is excellent but so are the other supporting cast. I really enjoyed this move and at 2 x 1.30 Hours Long it never seemed that. It comes highly recommended if you are interested in true crime and the Murdaugh storyline.

I gave up after 35 minutes.

The one-dimensional story gives the actors little to work with, the characters themselves are given no complexity by the filmmakers, and there's no amount of iconic western cinematography can salvage things at that point. Given the enormous amount of money that was spent to make this, it should be telling that it's being released pay-to-rent on a single streaming platform. Save yourselves some time and avoid!. Shame really as it had potential but when we got to the tree scene you just know it was gonna get boring really quick. I cannot recommend it to anyone and to be honest there are not many movies I gave up on.
