CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

tomsview "And Never Let Her Go" proves the point that as far as murder mysteries are concerned, single crimes often work more effectively than serial killer movies where the body count is in the double figures.It allows for more depth to the characters and for more detail in the story. Serial killers get off on killing people and although there are slight variations, at the end of the day, their actions are fairly one-note. That's not the case with the one-off crime where there can be a myriad of reasons why it has occurred.This film is based on a true story that was well known in America. However I hadn't heard of it until I saw this film so there were surprises as the plot unfolds. Thomas Capano, played by the disarmingly smooth Mark Harmon, has a compulsive need to control the many women in his life. Studies claiming guys can only concentrate on one thing at a time fall flat here as Capano could hardly be accused of not being able to multitask.Not only was he having an affair with Anne Marie Fahey (Kathryn Morris) and another long-standing one with Christine Sheve (Rachel Ward), but there were other women along the way. All this while still being married with four daughters and holding down top jobs in the legal profession. When Anne Marie Fahey attempts to slip from his grasp, his need to control goes into overdrive while she doesn't realise how dangerous the situation has become. We don't see her murder, but view the events much as they are revealed to the investigators: homicide detective Frank Gugliatta (Paul Michael Glaser) and FBI agent Colm Connelly (Stephen Eckholt).There is complexity to the characters: Harmon's mother driven Capano, Kathryn Morris' vulnerable Anne Marie Fahey and Rachel Ward's trusting Christine Sheve. Rachel Ward is the big surprise, her calm demeanour gives her character the sense of a woman who seems well-grounded on the surface, but who is in many ways the most needy. The film was made before Thomas Capano's fate was decided, but that does not stop this being an intriguing drama with fascinating characters.

Rick Blaine But it's very good. It's a notch above the average fare in this genre. You do have to remember it's just a made for television movie - or miniseries to be more exact. About three and one half hours running time.And no, it's not going to have the continuity of a 'real' movie, not with it's continual fade outs for barrages of advertisements.But given that the genre is severely handicapped - and that interest in features such as this is most often rather prurient, this one does very well.Harmon is so good he's really disgusting and you really get to hate him by the end. Too bad for Mark: it's going to be hard to get glamorous movies where he can cut to the chase with Meg after things like this and the Bundy one.Rachel Ward is simply excellent; Morris is very convincing; they're all very good and the screen writing is above average too, as is the camera work.It's a very tragic and very gripping story and well worth the time spent to view it.

dracula34 This excellent drama had me in suspense the whole time. I could not take my eyes off the screen for one second because every word kept connecting the pieces to this puzzling murder. This movie really touched me because it showed how sad and hard life can be. I really did cry in the end (which I don't want to give away!) It also let me realize how cruel and sickening people can be when it comes to murder. The cast was also very good. The only bad cast member was the actress who played Anne Marie. The actress did a great job, but the director didn't. I say this because he found someone who didn't look a single bit like Anne Marie Fahey herself.

Absinthe-4 I can see where the other review could be coming from when they viewed this mini-series. However, I can't stress more that you should read the book by Ann Rule. There have been at least two other books published on this case, "Fatal Embrace" and "Summer Wind", and none of these authors have ever doubted that Tom Capano was guilty of murdering Anne-Marie Fahey. There is just too much evidence, circumstantial and otherwise. If the case interested you, do yourself a favor and buy the book. Don't buy the above reviewer's opinion that this trial was solely in the prosecution's favor. It's extremely difficult to prosecute a murder charge without a body, which is exactly what the state did. There's a reason Tom Capano is sitting on death row. He deserves it.
