Sweet Deception (1998 TV Movie) User Reviews

Just awful

[wildfire160 · 1/10 · 29 September 2004]

This film had no chance.... why because the script writers had no idea about police procedure at all I did'nt expect any kind of great film i mean you don't with a formula TV film but when the current wife is charged with murder you would at least think the police would perform the most simple of tests to see if she had done it..... there is a residue of particles left on clothing after a gun is fired that even with washing is very hard to get rid of it the wife had fired the gun found at the crime scene she would have been covered in these particles,however the scriptwriters for this piece of dogs droppings obviously had'nt watched any of the great TV detective shows out there that do know about this... I've no problem hokey lines, bad acting or obvious plot devices but when simple logic and a small knowledge of how the police work in a murder/shooting incident is lacking it just bloody annoys me

Agree with the other reviewer

I''m trying to slog my way through this, and I came here to say the same thing. The woman would have GSR (gun shot residue) on her. The police would immediately check for that. It's bs like this that ruins these flicks for me. I'm figuring it is her attorney that set her up, halfway through so far.

Kate Jackson seems to play the same character over and over again. It gets exhausting.

I'm hoping it improves.

Uggh, guess again. This flick was completely nonsensical. She's a convicted murderer who is now on the lam and nothing in the plot made any sense. She knows a cop is looking for her so goes in public every chance she can, and walks around wearing a fedora, dark glasses and a trench coat, as if that isn't conspicuous as hell. She should have just worn a Groucho Marx get up with a mustache and fake nose while she's at it. Lol.
