To Kill a Stepfather

I was following the Facebook page prior to the movie coming out and I am glad I watched the movie! I know it is based on a true story and the actors make you feel like you are a part of it! A true mystery to find the guilty person before the actors do! Who doesn't love a true mystery? The actors were great! The story was very intriguing! The movie was worth waiting on.. I can see the lead actress in future movies! She is a natural and a very beautiful lady! I will be watching more Lifetime in the future! I will also be looking into the story the movie is based on as the movie has made me curious...

This felt, to me, like Lifetime was trying this out as a pilot for a new series. The plot was basic and very contrived. All back stories were thrown in as single sentences, explained in a throw away conversation. No real character development, as if writers wanted to save that for "when the show got picked up". Because of this, I found none of the characters interesting or even terribly likeable.

The conversations were all just ones liners that were meant to show (I think) how smart/clever/witty the characters were but there seemed to be no real conversations. The chemistry between the 2 lawyers was so bad that I didn't realize until halfway through the movie that they had previously been in a relationship - I thought they just went to school together.

I love a " bad" Lifetime movie, but this was just a bad movie.

So, I want to start by saying how nice it is to see a fresh face on the tv these days. I mean, we've all seen the Angelina's, Margo's, J Lo's etc. But to sit down on the couch, pop the tube on, and see a classically beautiful unknown actress really shine is just so refreshing and wonderful.

I've been a big fan of Lifetime originals for as long as I can remember. "Death of a Cheerleader" , No one would Tell", "Gracie's Choice", "Fifteen and Pregnant", "Mom at Sixteen", "She's to Young", "A Secret Between Friends", "Lies my Mother told Me", "She Cried No".

I could go on and on. But this one. This one really hit the mark!

This film is a fun and exciting roller coaster from start to finish. What may start as a typical Lifetime Film, is elevated by the performances of the cast. The show is truly stolen by the lead actress Alex Camacho who truly shines in a leading role that has you terrified for her as she hunts for the killer. She is empathetic and stern when necessary but has a powerful and commanding control of any room she is in. This actresses star will only continue to shine and I can't wait to watch her star in more projects. The supporting cast of family and fellow townspeople round out a truly talented ensemble and this makes for a delightful watch.

To Kill a Stepfather was a really great movie!! This isn't your cliché murder mystery. My fiancé and I watched it together and we had so much fun trying to figure out who did it (unfortunately, he figured it out before I did)! The movie had many twists and turns that kept our attention throughout.

The main actress, Nicole (Alex Camacho), was wonderful. This was the first movie that we have seen her in but probably not the last. She had such an elegant yet powerful way about her. Her demeanor, her voice and her smile really made the movie!

I would definitely watch this movie again. Don't forget the popcorn!
