    POOR CHOCOLATE MAKER

    No decent chocolatier would lick their finger and then handle the chocolate.

    Death by Chocolate.

    This was a real surprise, yes it feels like an afternoon movie, but that's no bad thing, it's well made, intriguing, and a very straightforward watch.

    I loved the chocolate narrative throughout, and we really did get to see handmade chocolates being made. The start was excellent, the ending was dramatic, and the core of the story was very good also. Loved that dog.

    Louise Lombard is great as Juliana, I thought she gave a very good performance, as did David Wenham as the smart Detective.

    I would definitely recommend it, 7/10.

    So that's how they make chocolates

    A nice little show out of Sydney, with the interesting sideline of watching how handmade chocolates are created, and the use of them throughout the plot was novel.

    David Wenham is great as the world-weary Detective Bennett O'Meara. We see some over-acting from the enthusiastic support team. I can understand their zeal given the few opportunities that occur outside the soaps on Australian TV. Aaron Glenane is very entertaining as Travis the computer geek.

    The plot has a satisfying number of red-herrings and twists and it's worth a look to see the scenery, the coast is spectacular.

    Boring, slow, mystery unfair

    Acting a bit weak. No chemistry between leads. Too long. Production values ok. Sound recording good. Editing ok. Script needed work to tie up loose ends offer false leads. Midway between a weak cop show and a cozy mystery.

    Odd but watchable with twist at the end

    Somewhat bizarre in terms of the chocolate woman and her boot fetish, but keeps you interested and just when you think thats all abit boring there is a twist in the tale. Not a bad effort if slightly quirky.
