Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Brooke Shields plays Beau Bridges daughter? Seriously she looks more age appropriate to play his wife. Im unsure why the new Hollywood theme seems to put these ageing cougars romantically with younger men, but its not working the lines are pretty weak, particularly Brook Shields reaction to finding a murder victim...laughable. The plot is interesting but really this is no more than a TV movie

The story starts off quickly with the murder of an old law rival, Professor Carson Howell, just as Abby makes a flower delivery; and of course, she is a suspect as her fingerprints are on the murder weapon. But my money was immediately on Jocelyn Barnes as somehow she got on the crime scene floor after it was closed off; so I figured she was already there and had sequestered herself after she had killed Carson. No doubt she was having an affair with Carson. But was I guilty of falling for a red herring. Maybe it was Kenny the nice TA. Couldn't be Daniel Kash, Professor Bruce Barnes, as he is just too obvious. Overall a nice entry for the series. I liked Paulino Nunes as the laid back detective Sean Reilly; and it's nice to see Beau Bridges as Brooke Shields dad, retired Detective Jeffery Knight. I just don't like Kate Drummond as Nikki Bender. It's not her fault, it's the writers who wrote her as a ditz. While I like Brooke Shields it is difficult to believe that her character was a former lawyer before becoming a florist as her investigative skills skirt the law when she should know better. And at times she behaves more like a teenager than a 50 year old. This series, however, is a tad better than the current crop of "cozy" female detectives running on the Hallmark Channel.
