A Murder of Innocence

This movie is like a car crash you can't look away from. There is no sense of Beginning, no climax and the ending is just 🤦. It's a movie based on true events in a murder in 1971 but get updated so it is in present day, but poorly. The characters have cell phones but don't use them in key scenes but use landlines for plot reasons. The movie hangs on to scenes too long. People crying at a house for a solid minute, to move into their car driving while crying, on and on. I get they want to address the stress and emotions of the characters, but that amount of scenes isn't needed if it's written or acted well, it's just filler to make the movie longer. Perfect example of this is the people from NY, walking from the airport answer their phone, hear that they are not needed so they huff and turn around and go back, and scene...why 🤷?? That scene was pointless! Nothing is gained.

But really they just made this movie for them to say how good Christian people should act though everything, they smash you over the head with their ideology, their message as heavy handed as they can. Everything else in this movie is to just get to those moments. If that is what you need, what you are looking for, that's fine, but that does not make it a good film.
