Hard to Like Main Character
I love Hallmark Mysteries! I really do. I find the need to preface this review with that because Cut, Color, Murder...
The plot itself wasn't horrible. For me, it was the main character, Ali Reed. It was way to hard for me to like her, even when she was in danger. And it's hard to keep watching when you don't like the protagonist. Let's face it. There is a difference between someone who is determined and opinionated (like Hannah Swensen or Roe Teagarden) and someone who is just plain obstinate.
Ali's attitude was obnoxious, a little vindictive, and just plain rude. I struggled relating to her as a character. One whose beloved deceased husband was a detective, but she was beyond comfortable violating police procedure.
Nonetheless, I kept watching. While I can't say I'd watch this movie again or that I'd eagerly await any potential future installments, I've seen worse. And who knows. If Ali has a total personality conversion, I might be intrigued.
