Gone in the Night

This movie is good. My heart breaks for the parents.

This is just showing how poor the American lay system truly is. If the investigators had had their eyes open and tried not to fix it on the poor parents they would have found the murderer. It is obvious the crazy uncle killed the little girl.

I just saw this movie... they divided it up. So the first half they showed last Tuesday and the last one today. I thought that I would watch it, I dídn't really know what it was. I just read that Shannen was in it, and I thought: Hey, Shannen's great so this movie outa be great too. And it really was great, but also very very sad. I mean I cried throught the whole movie. Cindy was a very strong person who didn't give up, she's a fighter. If you haven't seen it, I sugjest you go rent it, it's a very good movie... and I too would like to own it on tape

What if a young husband and wife with two small children (and another child on the way) have their home broken into one night and have their daughter kidnapped and killed? And what if the police, detectives, doctors and district attorneys all act in an unskilled and/or unethical way and submit the husband, wife and even the surviving child to horror after horror? What if the very expensive lawyers the innocent family hire to save themselves are too inept and uncaring to help the family escape their nightmare?

Based upon a true story, GONE IN THE NIGHT is set in Chicago. The acting is fine, although the actor playing the husband seems to have a New York accent more than a Chicago accent.

Watching this TV movie back-to-back with another Chicago based movie, THE FUGITIVE, will take away all faith the viewer might have in the criminal justice system.

Without giving anything away, at the end of this movie drama turns to real life. The impact of this kind of ending is completely effective. Watch the whole story, and then hold on.

A very good effort for a made for TV film.

I think that this film is absolutely great! I think Shannen Doherty is a brilliant actress. I think she played the role of Cindy Dowaliby really well. I think that the film was shown very well and reported very well. It had a good sence of keeping to the real story.I think that these types of films get you into the film genre of real life and true stories. I hope that Shannen Doherty (who is one of my favourite actresses) recieves another good film like this.PLEASE MAKE OTHER FILMS LIKE THIS BECAUSE THEY REALLY GET TO THE HEART!

I live in Omaha and I met both Kevin Dillon and Shannen Doherty. I got a picture with each of them and I got to watch a scene being filmed. They were very nice. I know that there must be a reason why Shannen has a reputation for being somewhat of a diva, but she was nothing but nice and gracious the whole time that I was around her. In fact, when I asked her if I could get a picture of her, she insisted that I be in it with her. As for Kevin, he took time to talk with me while he was waiting to film the scene. I have always liked him better as an actor than his brother, and now I know that he is a very nice guy. I thought the movie was well done. It is amazing how they can film a movie in a location and then when you see the movie, you can't tell where it was filmed. The movie was well acted throughout. They told the story effectively. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever seen, but it is very good.
