A Murder of Innocence

If your mother locks you in basement and makes you do 100 rosaries every time you look at someone of the opposite sex - boy is this the movie for you! The story is weak, the script is weaker and the acting is a reflection of both. I saw other reviews described this film as 'wholesome' which I guess is a word you could use but I would say it blurs the lines between cringeworthy and propaganda/brainwashing. Would give it zero stars if I could! I do not recommend.

I seriously thought it was a Spoof, or a Comedy, it really was so dreadful ! The Main male actor was some kind of Clarke Kent - to be honest, it was so bad it was hilarious !

This movie is like a car crash you can't look away from. There is no sense of Beginning, no climax and the ending is just 🤦. It's a movie based on true events in a murder in 1971 but get updated so it is in present day, but poorly. The characters have cell phones but don't use them in key scenes but use landlines for plot reasons. The movie hangs on to scenes too long. People crying at a house for a solid minute, to move into their car driving while crying, on and on. I get they want to address the stress and emotions of the characters, but that amount of scenes isn't needed if it's written or acted well, it's just filler to make the movie longer. Perfect example of this is the people from NY, walking from the airport answer their phone, hear that they are not needed so they huff and turn around and go back, and scene...why 🤷?? That scene was pointless! Nothing is gained.

But really they just made this movie for them to say how good Christian people should act though everything, they smash you over the head with their ideology, their message as heavy handed as they can. Everything else in this movie is to just get to those moments. If that is what you need, what you are looking for, that's fine, but that does not make it a good film.

Movie has a good story to tell but the horrendous acting spoiled any chance of a good rating.

A true story, obviously religious based, but the acting is so bad, especially the lead roles - how could the producers and the director allow that? Probably family or close friends. They did this on a tight budget but still....there are plenty of actors who would love to participate in a low budget film - but seriously the role of the pastor - he is so bad! It is embarrassing. And then there's the script - did anyone re-read it to leave out the obvious silliness and amateurishness...if the script was tightened and the lead roles cast properly it would have been a much better film...and then there is this one...why do scripts insist on someone throwing up? Is this really necessary? I wish someone with talent had produced this film because it is interesting, but so wishy washy silliness....
