To Kill a Stepfather

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!

Usually I'm not a fan of lifetime movies because they can be cringy and predictable. This one was nothing like that! The chemistry and emotions between Nicole and her mom felt so real. There was the perfect amount of drama/mystery/predictability.

The actress who plays Nicole is absolutely gorgeous and brings such realness and emotion. I would love to see her in more movies and shows. Alex was hypnotizing with her acting.

Honestly all the actors did amazing and made all the connections/relationships seem legitimate. I think they picked a great cast. I might even start watching lifetime movies now because of this one.

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!

Couldn't take my eyes off of the beautiful redhead. She is clearly bound for greatness. More please!

I've never been a big lifetime movie guy. In fact I think this is the first one I've ever seen.

I was hooked right from the very beginning. The Lead actress and her mother had great chemistry. I could feel the "lifetime" of turmoil and tension between them. Sister Riley also did a fantastic job.

This movie did a nice job within is murder mystery genre. The family had fun guessing "who" in the cast of characters "done it".

It is a visually well shot movie that maintains a constant state of suspense for the viewer.

Alex Camacho had beautiful moments through out, and left me wanting more.
