Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

YannyRamz Just to point out that I'm not a movie critic, and this is my first review. The job done on this piece, considering it's a LifeTime movie was not that bad. I mean it was meant for TV, not hitting the theaters, and there were not multi-million dollar deals behind it to make it happen. I've always felt, for example with books turned into movies, that they always leave the most important information out. It's so hard to grasp it all and portray it in less than 2hrs (which is, what I think, the average movie's length is). This movie did an OK job, but everything was so rushed. The trial was very rushed, and while at the time of production/recording everything was still 'in the air', there was nothing SET. The movie goes back and forth, and there is so much inconsistency. Also, I'm not sure what side was the movie on or whether it was intended for the viewer to decide. All of the facts that were given the "appropriate" time pointed the finger at Amanda. I got the feeling that she was guilty.HIV tests, sex, drugs, multiple sexual partners, moving in with Rafaelle (whatever). I know, this is not a documentary, and it was just based on a true story, and did not follow everything that happened exactly as it did, or did it? I just think that it was like a terrible essay, where you argue both points but don't choose your own, and don't have supporting information to back up your point. I did not even get the vibe that some people did about Italians being evil. I just happened to find out about this whole case about a week or two ago, therefore I have not been following. I was recommended to watch this movie to fill me in, but I think it does a very poor job on giving you the details because there aren't ANY. :-/.It was a big mumble jumble of nothingness, very moving with great performances but terrible script.

evening1 Would Amanda be in jail today -- and for the next 26 years -- if she'd come home when her mother asked her to? True to her seeming sense of entitlement, Amanda had told her frantic mother no. She comes across as a child of privilege with a petty and envious dislike for her more studious British roommate. Though I wasn't sure whether she was guilty before seeing the movie, I felt more certain of her culpability upon viewing it.The performances are strong -- I knew this flick couldn't be all-bad when I saw Marcia Gay Harden in the cast. But the movie seemed somewhat sloppy by hinting at corruption in the Italian system but leaving the question open. (The fact the Italians want to put Amanda's parents on trial doesn't add to their credibility.) The movie is also ambiguous as to the guilt of Amanda's boyfriend.In all, a very-well-told tale about murder in a red-roofed town that looked too pretty to be the scene for it.

sarahj630 Please, whatever you do, do not use this movie as a means of deciding whether Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito are guilty or innocent. There are major factual errors in this movie. This movie makes the claim that a store owner identified Amanda as someone who bought bleach the morning after the murder within days of the murder. This simply is not true. That store owner did not claim Amanda was at his store until 10 months later. And he only made the claim when he was paid for an interview. Furthermore, no other evidence was ever produced to support this claim.The movie also definitively portrays Rafaelle as not calling the 112 number until after the postal police are there. Again, that is not true. The investigators reached that decision based on the clock on a nearby parking garage that was established to be about 12 minutes off.This movie plays very fast and loose with the facts. View it as enjoyable lifetime movie fluff if you will, but DO NOT decide Amanda is guilty based on this movie.

sienna-7 Imagine that you are charged with a crime in a foreign country. You are denied a lawyer. You are denied a translator. You are not declared a suspect but you are interrogated as one. You are interrogated by a team of cops meant to break down mafia suspects. You barely speak Italian. You are denied access to your family. You are in shock and you want to help. Your interrogation is not recorded. You are declared a murderer. Your words, which were never recorded, are used against you. There is no tape, there is no video. The cops who declare you a murderer have a big reason to declare so: they said the case was closed. They declared it to the media. The prosecutor announced it to the world...before the murder scene was analyzed by a crime lab. They paraded you through the streets with sirens blaring flashing the victory sign. They posted your photo on the wall as a most wanted criminal next to the worst murderers and criminals known. One person who was charged will be found with an alibi (Lumumba). Two people (Amanda and Raffaele) only have each other as an alibi and their computers are burned so there is no trace of it. One person (Guede) left hair, finger prints, blood, and DNA at the crime scene but it has not been analyzed by a crime lab. No one has identified that sole person who left the evidence at the crime scene and no one seems to care. The case is declared closed. You are placed in solitary confinement and denied your right to a lawyer, contact with your family, or a translator, or to contact your embassy. Next thing you know, you are a witch, a pervert, you have cold eyes, you are without a soul, you are a mastermind criminal, you are the personification of evil, you are the controller of men that you don't know, you are a hater, you are a liar, you are a sex maniac. No one who knows you will corroborate these "facts". There will be no way for you to escape your conviction because those who want you convicted have all the power. They will hide the evidence which your defense lawyers could easily use to get you off. A movie will be made during your trial which will be used to convince people of your guilt. You are screwed and it was great entertainment.... You are an American citizen in a foreign country, you are a child of parents who want to help you. You have no hope because the case has been closed.
