I think this movie was really wonderful. Yet sad at the same time. when i find out it was based on a true story, i just like the way they have the characters make it look so real. it is a really excellent movie, and sad. i hope that other movies based on true stories will be just as wonderful as this one. i can basically say that if Shannon were to act in another movie like this, i would be one of them to watch it right away. i mean, this movie probably could take your breath away and you would not even know it yet there are some sad parts to this movie, especially when Jacklyn is murdered and the parents are blamed for it. i love the way they directed it and everything. but i hope there will be other great movie just like this one!!!

** Spoiler Warning **This movie is so sad to watch, the film is about a couple daughter is is abducted and then killed and they are blamed for it. soon they are put on trail for the murder of their daughter. the film is a top buy - if you can find it in the shops. it shows how the media influenced the case. the film is based on a true story. it's the kinda film you will never forget.Shannen Doherty acting is stop on. it shows her at her best.the film co stared - Kevin Dillon, Edward Asner, Michael Brandon and Dixie Carter

I just saw this movie... they divided it up. So the first half they showed last Tuesday and the last one today. I thought that I would watch it, I dídn't really know what it was. I just read that Shannen was in it, and I thought: Hey, Shannen's great so this movie outa be great too. And it really was great, but also very very sad. I mean I cried throught the whole movie. Cindy was a very strong person who didn't give up, she's a fighter. If you haven't seen it, I sugjest you go rent it, it's a very good movie... and I too would like to own it on tape
