Framed for Murder (2007 TV Movie)
2/10
Yet another convoluted dtv thriller to waste your time.
17 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
And your time WILL be wasted ! Badly written, without any subtlety or desire to be realistic, this story of a bipolar woman accused of murdering her husband has no basis in reality. Unless you believe bad soap operas are realistic...

After spending 8 years in jail, June is released and goes on to stay at her rich sister's house until she can find a job. With the help of another ex-con, she soon unravels (without a lot of difficulty) the mystery of her husband's murder, making any policeman or layer who worked on her case look like a fool.

Name a cliché, and you'll see it in this clinker.

Acting is terrible: Perry King was never a good actor but the one-dimensional rich guy he plays won't help his career. Thank God he's barely in the movie ! Susan Walters can be sexy, but she has no subtlety playing June's sister. At least Elisa Donovan (June) does an OK job as June, the bipolar ex-con fighting for truth and her estranged child.

Shot on Digital in Canada on a low budget, this movie will bring you nothing you haven't seen before. And when you saw it before, it was better.

Another one you should skip !
