CrimeTime: Freefall

99% of new Hallmark mysteries are astonishingly bad (and the bar isn't really high). Not this one!

Loved both leads, they are fun together, fun on their on. I was afraid Lyndie Greenwood's character would be fake and irritating, but actually she was cute. As in quirky cute.

Loved other characters. The mother, the realtor, the cop boss, etc. Family members in these films are often... just there, just wasting screentime, but not in CrimeTime.

Even the kids were not annoying (and I expected them to be annoying).

So I hope it won't be a one time thing like many others.

This is seriously the first good Hallmark mystery since Curious Caterer.

I didn't expect so many laughs in this one.

Hadley as the Hollywood actress moving to small town and having a hard time adjusting at first drew the most fun on this one for me.

All of the characters were really different and quirky with weird lovable ways.

I also loved her trying to find out just not the mystery but detectives secret. Don't worry I won't spoil it.

The back and forth between her and the cop had me smiling all the way up until their last lines. They're hopefully going to end up together of course but when? Knowing hallmark and murder she baked we may have some waiting to do.

But not too long okay?

Loved every minute of it. Lays an awesome foundation for the series and I'm super excited for what's to come.

The actors all compliment each other well and it's so nice to see some Christmas hallmark actors make their way to more dramatic rolls. Loved seeing actor Brittany Mitchell tackle this role and I'd be excited to see her character story line expanded. Lyndie Greenwood is also amazing and created great depth of character.

Looking forward to seeing crime time expand and explore more dramatic concepts.

All the characters have chemistry and there's great balance within the story line of character development and suspense.

Especially love the diverse cast and I hope hallmark continues to create films that represent the real life world we live in.

I loved this. A really great mystery plot! Once I got used to some of the characters I had no trouble settling into it! I like the Hallmark mystery characters and plots, this was really well done.

The story really makes you suspect a number of different characters. The only thing I am missing is some key information that they did not fill in at the end but other than that it was interesting! I won't say what was not explained because then I might ruin the plot for someone else.

I thought they made Luke McFarlane a little too mean in his role though. I know that's how they do the cops in their shows but I think he could have been a little bit nicer in his role to her.

Hallmark mystery shocker. This one turned out to be rather good.

LA actress Hadley Warner is the star of a long running crime show. Now the series has been canned and she moves with her kids to a small Colorado town.

Soon as they arrive, Hadley finds a dead man who has recently gone missing.

It was meant to look like a parachute accident but the hunky local cop Detective Shawn Caden determines it was murder because of a bullet wound.

Hadley just has to interfere and use the police procedural skills gleaned from her shows. She even assembles a crew together with her kids and a superfan of her canned series.

The movie benefits with some good interplay between the characters. The murder mystery had a few red herring, plausible suspects and even some tension.

A cut above the usual fare.
