I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
To me, this movie is perfection.
Such a frustrating disappointment
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Love, Lies, and Murder is a TV miniseries that features Clancy Brown, Sheryl Lee, Moira Kelly, Tom Bower, John Ashton, and Cynthia Nixon.The miniseries was four hours long and aired on NBC in two parts.It was directed by Robert Markowitz.This is a chilling mini-series based on the 1985 true story of David A. Brown, a computer whiz, who orchestrated his wife,Linda Brown's murder with the help of two trusting but totally manipulated teenage girls.He masterminded this bizarre murder plot by luring his 14-year-old step daughter and 17-year-old sister-in-law into the cold-blooded shooting of his wife. As the lies are peeled away, layer after layer, his sinister web of treachery, deceit, and manipulation is finally shattered in a hailstorm of staggering revelations.When police investigate, the stepdaughter confesses to the killing. This closes the case when David marries his late wife's sister, and doubts begin to stir as to whether or not the stepdaughter was coerced into confessing.The gripping tale of an almost perfect murder and an unflinching portrait of a terrifying killer.Also,it was an unforgettable look at one of the most shocking crimes and it proves once and for all that fact is sometimes truly stranger than fiction.It may not be the best TV mini- series ever shown but it certainly is unforgettable.
I liked this movie, which is based on a shocking and chilling true story. Knowing that this really happened sends chills up my spine. David Brown is a manipulative, evil, liar, and murderer who masterminded and had his daughter and sister-in-law carry out the murder of his wife Linda Brown.It all started when they overheard Linda talking on the phone and saying that she wanted to kill David. That's when David plotted her murder. Even though Patty pulled the trigger Cinnamon took the fall for it because they knew she would do less time then Patty and David.But later the truth eventually does come out and David and Patty are charged, convicted, and sentenced as well. Cinnamon and Patty are done serving their time but David will remain prison forever. He's at Folsom State Prison in California.
Although you won't find a lot of big names in the cast (perhaps that enhances the production!) this is a first rate true-crime drama. As the story unfolds we find that Brown is, as the judge states, "More scary than Charles Manson." The only problem I had with the entire production, was the script seemed not fully developed, characters dropped in and out without much of an introduction or explanation. Having read the book I was more easily able to follow the story. All said and done, however, this is a good one.
This was an excellent movie that held my attention the entire 4 hours it was on TV. What makes it more interesting is to know that it's based on a true story. It all starts when 14 year old Cinnamon shoots and kills her stepmother and then tries to kill herself. The story unfolds from there into a web of lies, deception, and seduction. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll just say that if you're into the kind of movies shown on Lifetime TV, check your TV Guide or run to your video store - this is definitely one worth watching.
