    5/10
    Based on actual events and the acting is decent
    As this made for television movie was based on actual events of husband and TV series producer Bruce Beresford-Redman (played by Colin Egglesfield) in the murder of his wife Monica (played by Leonor Varela) while vacationing in Mexico with their two (2) children, it was interesting to find out what actually happened back in 2010.

    Obviously a film crew can only provide a high level informative view within a 2 (two) hour movie related to Monica Beresford-Redman's murder to which Bruce still claims he is innocent of. Bruce however does not deny that his marriage was on shaky ground as a result of his known affair with a co-worker in which he continued to communicate with his mistress long after he committed to his wife that the affair was over and he was willing to go to a marriage counsellor to save his marriage.

    The resemblance of the two main actors Colin Egglesfield and Leonor Varela was close to the likeness of the real Bruce and Monica Beresford-Redman. The film stuck to the main events leading up to the disappearance of Monica, and the initial investigation and subsequent interrogation of Bruce after his wife Monica's body was found in a sewer just outside from the hotel, Moon Palace Spa and Golf Resort just outside of Cancun, where the family was vacationing.

    What I did appreciate about the film was the director/producer did not embellish their film with any false action scenes to try and glorify their film. Instead they appeared to stick to the known facts surrounding Monica and Bruce's strained marriage, and their love for their two young children who through no fault of their own are still suffering from the loss of both their parents. Their mother is dead, murdered by their father according to the Mexican court of law, and their father remains in a Mexican prison where he will stay for at least four (4) more years.

    I give this made for television movie a decent 5 out of 10 rating.
