Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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

dukeakasmudge I 1st read the book In Broad Daylight when I was a kid (GREAT book) & after hearing there was a movie based on the book, I just had to see it.In my opinion, the movie was almost as good as the book was.If you liked the movie, pick up the book & if you liked the book, watch the movie.I say it a lot in my old Made For TV movie reviews, they don't make Made For TV movies like they use to & here's another.In Broad Daylight had my attention right from the start & had me on the edge of my seat till the very end.Brian Dennehy was absolutely evil.If I had a list of movie villains I LOVE to HATE, Brian Dennehy as Len Rowan would be 1 of them.I don't understand why In Broad Daylight & some other Made For TV movies as well were never released on DVD.If it ever is, I'd pick it up.I can't imagine everybody liking this movie but I think that most people that watch it will

psychoticpuppy187 This film is a rare gem. You won't find it on amazon. I went through an independent distributor to get a copy which was burned from the video version of it. This was a made for TV movie but it's theme is deeply mature and complex.How it got past the censors puzzles me. I have never seen a more evil Brian Dennehey.I assume this role is why he was almost cast as Hannibal Lecktor.At the same time i didn't feel that sorry for the town's folk. They treated this man like a terrorist. He was a sinister SOB but he never killed anyone before. It would of been one thing if the town set out to beat the crap out of the guy or shoot him in both knee caps.Since this film is based on something that really happened it is all the more scary. Rowan is very scary but so is the resolve of the citizenry to kill him.

captainswizzle As this was based on a true incident in a small Missouri town N/E of Springfield, MO, I found it to be 98% factual. The actual actions of the "town bully" were in fact more shocking than the movie portrayed. "Rex's" (the real name of the bully) daughters still live in the area but do not speak of their father. If you can picture the retired football player Larry Czonka playing the part you'd be right on!

Sandra-55 I saw this movie on the TV a few years ago and can't imagine why it has never been on video or DVD. Its worthier than many other movies that are on either video and DVD. Brian Dennehy is one of my favorite movie stars and doesn't get enough credit for being the good actor he is. I thought "In Broad Daylight was one of his very best performances. He was so convincing as the bullying, intimidating and totally unsavory Len Rowan. When an actor can make you feel that he is really mean, then he is a good actor. Cloris Leachman was also very good in this movie as a store owner, threatened by Len Brian Dennehy. I wish it was on DVD, or even VHS would be fine. What a loss this is to video or DVD collectors.
