A better-than-average TV movie, inspired by a real-life incident, which, like Hitchcock's The Wrong Man, recounts the tragic repercussions of a false accusation. When a girl is kidnapped, her parents (played effectively by Shannen Doherty and Kevin Dillon) are suspected of the crime just to compound their torment. This marks something of a return to form for director Bill L Norton, who, with the help of a unusually strong supporting cast, drives the Kafkaesque nightmare to a powerful climax.
I really enjoyed this movie considering it was about 3 hours long. It was a very sad moving film & the acting was really good. Cant believe that the parents got blamed for the killing of their daughter & if this film was a true story like it says it was the people involved who accused the parents need to be shot.
The selling point of this film to me is that it is a true story.
It is shocking to think that such a miscarriage of justice could happen to a family probably not too unlike your own.
What I found the most interesting point of the film was the real life interview with the 'actual' parents of the little girl who was kidnapped and murdered. It brings home the struggle of this family.
The couples determination throughout the film is heart-warming.
As a true life story this film is not as 'exciting' as many movies out there however it is well worth watching.
