I've just recently discovered this made-for-TV movie that is based on the true case of Michele MacNeill, who was murdered by her own husband, a fraud and a psychotic womanizer, in 2007.
There's no denying it's not the best crime thriller I've ever seen, but it compensates with being just as tense and gripping as any other crime film, what with its bone-chilling moments that keep you at the edge of your seat, amazing performances (whether it's the desperate daughter or the psychotic father), emotional moments and the like.
In short: not the best, but I loved it nonetheless. A must-watch, IMHO.

I've never watched the original series, but after seeing this picture, I'm very much encouraged to go see it.
I mean, this movie is really gripping and highly entertaining, with a great storyline despite some plotholes, some very tense and often scary moments, and especially amazing performances that give way to some likeable characters - particularly Idris Elba as the brilliant and troubled title character - and others not so much, such as Andy Serkis in what I find one of his scariest performances to date.
It does have plotholes from time to time, but still it's a must-watch crime thriller film.

The story is predictable and not engaging; the numerous plot twists found throughout this film are just lame, incoherent and incomprehensible; and Jennifer Lopez showed us yet another of those damsels in distress who scream too much before ending up becoming badass.
But luckily, it compensates with being very funny, mocking some of the usual rom-com/action clichés and having some good (if not great) performances, especially that of Jennifer Coolidge as the groom's mother, who was just hilarious.
So overall, it's a decent movie, not horrible nor good. I had fun watching it, but not to rewatch it.
