    Not great

    Some of these Lifetime movies are strangely compelling to me, despite the lack of acting star power, often times a good script and lack of accuracy when it comes to things like police investigations and the like, but "Dating to Kill" aka "Cradle Robber" is just plain bad.

    There's little in the way of tension, and the big reveal - such as it was - left me incredibly underwhelmed.

    The acting is well below Lifetime average. Sometimes the network strikes gold with these productions, but not here. This is the opposite of gold.

    Not sure why I bothered to watch for more than an hour except that once I've started something, I want to finish it. But, man, it was a slog.

    Another man hater movie.

    I get sick of these single mother man-hater movies. Bad dad bad boyfriend bad husband Bad bad bad. Here's this 18 year old daughter who is living under her roof and I am sure her mother is paying for her cell phone. As soon as the little Brat tells me that she's 18 years old and can live her life. I'm taking her cell phone and probably her vehicle away from her. And her 38 year old Boyfriend can support her. 2nd are they always make is when someone is missing there is no 72 or 48 hour time limit to report someone missing. I know this because I am a retired law enforcement officer and if someone wants a report for a person missing for 3 hours you have to take it. Just another boring unrealistic man-hater TV show. I'm sure it will end happily as usual.

    Comment is don't waste time at this

    Thriller not thriller, unprofessional acting, filming etc, everything is class D.

    Usual

    Usual easy watching which wasn't too bad bar the annoying whining voice of the daughter. . . .off after 15 minutes

    "What the hell did I just watch"

    The daughter and the acting is so sickening to the point I had to skip watch.
