A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreThis is a very well acted, directed and produced mini-series, however the writing is an absolute horror show totally lacking in social responsibility. What I expected was something similar to 'The People vs O.J. Simpson', where you are given the facts and have both sides, prosecution and defense presented equally. This does NOT do that at all. It was as if the Menendez brothers themselves wrote the script. We have an overwhelmingly sympathetic portrayal of the brothers, with a dewy eyed Eric looking all handsome and tragic while we get a sickening amount of detail of ALLEGED assault presented as if it were bible truth.The facts are quite different from what was presented in the series. Yes, Jose Menendez was a strict father and he may have subjected the boys to some abuse but he also might've been a deeply disappointed father who had realized early on he had given birth to two sociopaths. We can never know because the Menendez brothers brutally, premeditatedly and callously murdered both parents.It presents the judge of the case as if he was biased when in truth he never should've allowed ANY of the allegations of abuse into the trial. They should've been left for the sentencing. What we get from the L&O series is a public damning the Menendez parents and the deification of Leslie Abramson. There are a number things factually wrong with this series. You can find those online. I am really just short of saying 'shame on you' L&O for spending so much effort, money and time glorifying two men who committed such a monstrous crime. Hell with that, shame on you Law and Order. There, I said it.
... View MoreI am totally disappointed with Mr Dick Wolf's production of this one Menendez trials, Although I have been the fan of his other Law and Order shows. This show has tried hard to bring some sympathy towards to Menendez brothers (murderers) DA side was really too weak But Defense was too strong and this defense team who have really tried to make this murder case from a bloody massacre to almost self defense..Who on earth buys this?? especially after you see the Crime Scene. Fact is No good show.. Sorry Mr . Wolf DICK
... View MoreTruly enjoyable show with some excellent acting.The show follows the Menendez brothers whom were tried on national TV for brutally killing their parents.(EDIT) The show gets better and better as the story develops. Characters are explored, deeper issues are addressed and the court drama intensifies. This show is absolutely excellent (END EDIT)I just wish they hadn't called it Law and Order. I am not sure if this is a strategic marketing move whereby they try to make Law and Order a brand like NCIS and Chicago PD/FD and whatnot. This could have been a great series in itself.And, yes ladies and gentlemen, spoiler! Good news! The poorest actor in TV history Ice T 'ain't innit'! He is not there to make stupid statements with a half convincing monotone reading-voice. Yeah!
... View MoreNo doubt there are some good actors in this series but is really boring. I managed to see three episodes of this and I am not going to watch any more. How will they drag this for eight episodes is beyond me. Also you already know the Menendez story and that they will get life in prison so ending already established, why watch this. Sorry but this could have been finished in maximum four episodes.
