deem_bastille I swear to god I heard Tom Hank's voice (only) read them their Miranda Rights.

Dan L Barlow Jr. OK. Please allow me to start of with a bit of a preface. I was very excited to see this. When all of the actual events happened was just a pre-teen. I remember seeing it mentioned on the news and parodied on the sketch comedy shows. For years i actually believed there were two more brothers. I thought the 2 pairs just swapped out whilst in court. I blurred the fiction with the available "reality". So now that that's out of the way. As an adult i had begun to think about many of the odd things i accepted as truth from television. Of course one of those stories was the Menendez case. I had watched some videos on YouTube. But for the most part i was waiting for the big Netflix documentary. Instead we were handed a Lifetime movie. Not that all lifetime movies are bad. Just that the quality is mostly still lacking. But I was still excited and hopeful for the much anticipated airing of the Menendez Bros. movie. My wife was also anticipatory and anxious. Problem there is we work opposing shifts. anyhoooooo..........After way too much waiting. My wife and i penciled in a time to sit down light some candles and share in the much awaited & limited commercial interruption.......... The movie starts and immediately i realize the acting talent was hired for looks and not actual ability. i grab an adult coloring book and begin to try to distract myself from the crap on my television. Yet over the course of those 2 hours i kept looking back at the screen. looking back in awe at the total lack of writing and acting talent that went into this so-called movie. Hell maybe that's whats the producers were shooting for. something so bad people will watch just to see how bad it can be . But then again most of the reviews on here are saying its a 5 star movie. whatever.Barlow

plbd-43062 It was interesting But..... I would recommend the viewing age should be set at 16yrs old!?! I don't feel young kids need to listen to some of the sexual details (not that there was that much) mentioned during the court proceedings!?! BTW, I'm a Canuck & am not that familiar with this situation then or now!?! I think in today's courts, parents that sexually abuse their children (or others), that would be taken into serious consideration by judges & juries!?! I may be wrong for the US, but in Canada for sure!?! ((I hope none of this is a spoiler, but if the reviewers feel so, please delete the section as I do not check this site that often?!? Tnx/Regards..... pl))

jonathona Loved this film so much. The writing and directing were truly powerful. I was both entertained and educated, this film brought a depth of perspective about the murder that was truly enlightening. It's the best TV movie I've ever seen. And Courtney Love and Myko Olivier were exceptional actors. Bravo Lifetime!
