This is a very well acted drama about a true murder story. After researching the history behind it, I can see that they stuck closely to the facts, however I think they should have delved deeper into all the lies this murderous con man told and given us a better understanding as to how he fooled so many people. That said, it is still a compelling film and worth watching.

Too much was left unexplained -- his full background, his motive, the other son mentioned right before the credits. Given the runtime of the movie, they could have easily expanded it to clear up some key points. When we finished watching, I looked this case up on Wikipedia to fill in the blanks left by the movie.

Decent true crime story. It's Entertaining, didn't know it was based on a true story. Have seen better but have seen much more worse than this film. Average Movie

I may hve missed something: Insulin injection sites are easy to find, even if in scalp, under fingernails or inside rectum. Also, Insulin formulary (type) not shown on vial (scientific impossibility). Only regular insulin (made by our bodies) is undetectable--Humalog, Lantus will show up on a toxicology exam--regular insulin will not as it is naturally made by our pancreas. Finally, one cannot orally consume insulin of any formulary s IT IS A (short chained) Protein THAT Is digested by stomach acids (cleaved) in a few seconds on entering GI system therein in rendering insulins SAR (structure activity relationship noneffective in cell membrane receptors. Clearly I am at fault as Kiwi's are not mentally challenged. Can someone provide timeline tick marks in movie wherein the 3 concerns I hve take place--Thank you.

The average rating here isn't high, I'm surprised (but few people have rated it). I caught this on Acorn TV. Tough topic, but I thought it was a really well done movie! Good actors all around. Kept me engaged from start to finish.

The director seems to delight in prolonging the suffering of a woman for half this film. It's really just a snuff film in guise of art. Bloodlines does have a decent second half but it can't make up for the disturbing joy the makers seem to have in inviting us to watch a slow motion murder.

Doesn't add up. Interesting but holes in the story needing some work

... Of course you knew - more or less - how it would end; but suspenseful none-the-less. Truth is strange than fiction, to coin a phrase. Good cast, well acted, well directed; convincing characters.

I was supposed to do some errands and couldn't stop watching this movie. I really wanted a different outcome of sorts but I will not spoil this movie for others.

This film is really well done for a true crime movie.

First the lead actor is excellent - he so deftly portrays a textbook mercurial, murderous, Narcissist - he catches every nuance of that personality profile. The supporting actors are quite good as well.

Of course this is not a true crime documentary - not all the "facts" are here - instead the screenwriter and director have cut to the core of how a horrendous thing like this evolves - horrifyingly slow and methodical.

Cinematography is also excellent - all the gray tonalities underscoring the subtlety of the outrages committed by the perpetrator.

Obviously, highly recommend this one if you're intrigued by the complex human drama of a true crime tragedy.

Definitely worth watching. The Husband was really good actor, although I knew it was him about a third of the way through. The Doctor who went to the police convinced it was the husband also really good as were the police men. I love watching based on real story films. Not a waste of my time!
