I first saw this made-for-TV movie years ago, and am drawn to real crime stories. The actors that portrayed the brothers, one innocent, the other guilty, were so good in their respective roles, it sent chills up & down my spine watching the murderous brother act so casual after the horrific murders of his OWN Mom, Dad, and younger brother. John Corbett-since "Big Fat Greek Wedding" is one of my faves, the seemingly unknown, but equally talented actor who played his brother(Jonathan Scarfe) was as handsome as he was strange in this role. The sets were very well done. Scenery was terrific, and the director never missed his mark. I didn't remember the title of this made for Television production, but found it surfing amazon/DVD/Movies.Lucky me! Now I have this hair-on-my-arm-raising movie in my collection! Loved this true crime drama/mystery & I highly recommend it!Mark-Hemet,Ca

After seeing this on the USA network countless times I was thrilled to see it was available on DVD. I promptly ordered it and sent my taped off tv copy straight to hell!!!! If a VHS considers the garbage can hell. Based on a true story of two brothers caught up in a murder investigation involving their parents and younger brother. I won't go into detail and spoil it for you but I will say it isn't Kimberly as I don't think anyone that oblivious could do such a thing. Good movie good price good gawd.

Who did it was really no suprise, but the ending and the evolution of this real life murder was done very, very will. The story is told well, filmed well, and compelling throughout.

Good movie. Kept us interested the whole way through. It was also suspenseful. The ending of the movie was sad.

Based on ture events. Love true crime stories. The movie keep you very intrested in the story line.

I liked the movie. The suspence kept me wondering who did committ the murders. It did show what can happen when someone gets greedy and the results of it.

This film would be good for people interested in the complex interaction between brothers. "Jason's Lyric" and "Boyz N Da Hood" touched upon the same issue. Here, three family members are killed and more and more the older surviving brother begins to suspect the younger. But wives, girlfriends, nieces and nephews, sheriffs, and aunts all play into the mix. Have you ever had a relative who did soemthing unethical, but then they'll respond to your accusation with, "How can you accuse your dear, sweet relative of doing that!?" This film touches upon that. The film says it's based on a true story. However, ever since learning that "Fargo" wasn't true, I don't give much credit to the "true story" bit. You may want to see this film just to see J. Corbett's booty. It doesn't come until near the very ends, but he does have some globes of which to be proud, assuming he didn't use a body double.
Actually, the more I type, the more I think I liked this film. However, it is a bit dull. It's not a true whodunit where you'd be surprised with the conclusion. The disc doesn't have foreign language subtitles or extra features. You can tell the film was done on a limited budget. I mean, it's not awful, it's okay; it's just not "The Color Purple" or "Joy Luck Club" or something.
