An Officer and a Murderer (2012)

To John_Merritt2011Just the fact that your very first statement tells us you did not even see this film, your critique of this video is nonsensical, uneducated, and flat out stupid! Your assertion that it should not have been made due to the brutality of it and insulting to the victims families, is ridiculous! By your way of thinking movies like: Full Metal Jacket (RIP Gunny), JFK, Goodfellas, Glory, and every other movie based on Actual Events. Gimme a break!

This in my opinion is very disturbing and disgusting on how someone is allowed to create and publicize this sort of garbage just so that people will see what someone is capable of. I resided and worked on the specific base when all of this took place and it was a very dark time and this should be banned everywhere. Imagine just how you would feel if someone close to you had this sort of events happen to them. Would you want this publicized. All for the mode of the almighty dollar hey he who makes the most money still passes on. I hope that the author and publicist and all those involved in thinking this is a fascinating story for all to see get a hand of fate dealt to them.. Think I am being harsh why not contact the families whose lives will never be the same ever. Feel free to contact my email anytime and I am more than wiling to elaborate for you.

This is a very well paced and realistically made Lifetime movie about the true story of Canadian Air Force colonel Russ Williams. His gradual escalation from underwear theft to home invasion and murder is carefully and realistically portrayed here. Gary Cole gives a balanced and believable performance as the main character. The straightforward telling without flashbacks is good and the tension and fear of the victims is quite terrifying.The police investigation is fascinating with the various mistakes and eventual breakthrough.Looks like there are some crazy serial pervert killers up North too.Worth a watch.

Gary Cole walks off with the acting honors in this silly movie. Add the poker face Rossif Sutherland as a detective and a bland female, also with one look on her face of Duh, played by Laura Harris. Cole at least gives some depth to his character and manages to keep things going in an inane script for LMN of course. The channel that rarely presents any worthwhile project. And who knows where they keep coming up with these female leads that are more attentive to their hair, tight clothes and looks of boredom. Harris is a typical LMN female lead that goes nowhere with this film and gives nothing as an actress. Sutherland does a little better, but Cole takes over the movie and does a splendid job of a sexual deviate. I give this 1 star for Cole's work.
