Murder on Spec Audience Reviews

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
doycesub I think that the negative reviews are very accurate and the others are watching a different movie than I am. I'm 38 minutes into it and can't believe the lack of investigation abilities that the "police" in this one have. I don't think they could catch a cold much less a criminal. Why is the person that admitted to the murder able to move about like a ghost and nobody seems to notice him? Why is the Kate Graham character doing her own investigation while the DA (dumb a**) police can follow her but no one else. I hope I make it to the end.the review does not contain enough lines so: I think that the negative reviews are very accurate and the others are watching a different movie than I am.

Fernseher The basic premise is interesting. A convoluted frame up where the killer seems to have thought of everything. There's a pointless unused side plot where all closed circuit cameras in the world are at his disposal. This is never used for any purpose but to annoy the heroine. Then there are completely unbelievable scenes of the victims not trying to fight back or even call for help while the bad guy incongruously tells them his weak motivation. But then in the second half she easily traces where the villain lives, picking the lock, and calls 911. Their slow response gives us one last shootout, but so what. I was hoping for perhaps some reasonable answer, like the bad guy had gotten help from someone she blabbed to, but no. There was absolutely no resolution whatever, the only suspect did it and she just knew where to find him. I love the actress. She's now got a decent part in a new TV show "Miss Guided", and looks better in dark hair and deep necklines.
fiore2 I'm sorry, this movie is very bad.I just watched this on Lifetime so I should have known better. As much as I love looking at Brooke Burns, this movie is terrible.Let's start with the screenplay. Horrible. Completely not believable. The whole premise of the story is ridiculous. Could something like this go on? Maybe. But the way the screenplay is written, there's just no way. It's just so outrageous. Actually, it's comical when you watch it. The acting is pretty funny as well.If you want to laugh at bad writing, bad filming, bad screenplay, watch this movie. It should be shown in all filming 101 classes about what NOT to do in film-making.
cmrlcr It was pretty good. It was on Lifetime Network but shown under the title " Trophy Wife ". Brook Burns was very good. The killer and his methods were very believable and it made me keep watching to see how she was going to get the guy before he got her. She went to the police repeatedly to tell them about the person who killed her rich husband but they did not believe her, and the police were believable in how they did not believe her. The killer then planted evidence to point the finger at the Trophy Wife and she had to go on the run before she was arrested for the murder she did not commit. It was definitely worth the time watching.
