Spoiler #1: My only complaint, was that the exterior shots were not filmed here, in Anderson, Indiana, so it kind of spoils parts of the film for us local residents.
Spoiler #2: When Mr. Amos allegedly killed his 3rd wife in Detroit, MI, he was 53-years old. Mr. Lipper looks like he's under 30, while Mr. Amos pretty much looked his age. You know, dark-haired, graying at the temples, well-tanned.
Being a life-long resident of this town, I am acquainted with some of the participants of this case, but not all of them. We do have over 53,000 residents, so it's kind of hard to know everyone. Regardless, the case, as portrayed in the Lifetime movie, was pretty accurate in most aspects. Mr. Lipper's portrayal of Mr. Amos was very good, although he was way too young--(see spoiler #2 above). Still the film is not bad if it's type. As of this writing, the local police and prosecutors still haven't re-opened the cases involving Mr. Amos' first two wives, nor of the death of his mother. Too bad. My mother and grandmother used to shop at Mrs. Toles' (Mr. Amos' mother) flower shop. Anyway, it's a pretty good film. The only reasons I rated it a 5/10 was because of the spoilers. To non-residents, these spoilers shouldn't matter, so, if you enjoy this genre, watch it and enjoy. I recommend it.
