Usually in these Lifetime-type television movies, the acting is histrionic, over-wrought and completely unrealistic. However, this movie held my interest and each actor was convincing in his/her role, especially in light of the fact that it was based on the true story of the actual Craigslist killer, Philip Markoff.
In addition, the dialogue was realistic. The two leads did an excellent job, and thankfully the scenes of violence were brief and not overly graphic.
Finally, the actors portraying Markoff's fiancé's parents conducted themselves in a way I would think parents would react if they found out their daughter was engaged to a person who committed the acts Markoff did. William Baldwin also acquitted himself well as the lead detective pursuing the perpetrator.
I thought the movie was well done considering the subject matter.
