Hissing The Bad Guy
26 November 2001 | by (Chicago, USA) – See all my reviews

Michael Ontkean ("The Rookies") reeks with evil as a wife abuser who kills his third wife, then attempts to thwart the efforts of his sister-in-law to gain custody of her late sister's baby. Valerie Bertinelli ("One Day At A Time") plays the sister-in-law who's determined to not to let her nephew be raised by the murderer's family. She's able to get her brother-in-law put behind bars for murder, but she and her family are taken for a roller-coaster ride as they go through one legal battle after the next for custody of the baby. You'll be rooting for Bertinelli to win all the way. Louise Fletcher also turns in a good performance as Ontkean's rigid mother.
