No research is conducted at all, from the literature to police procedures and weapon usage.
Mystery 101 killer timing movie#
I get that these are low budget, but how many times have reviewers expressed a desire for quality over quantity? I'd much prefer 25% of the offerings that are actually made with care, as opposed to a movie every week that's just slapped together.
Mystery 101 killer timing series#
The police officer enthusiastically encouraging the amateur lady detective is an enjoyable departure from other murder mystery series where the female lead is constantly chastised by law enforcement to "stay out of it." Cons: Writers are so sloppy (and it isn't just Hallmark, it's all the cable channels who film mostly in Canada and churn these movies out like cheap Hostess bakery products). The storylines were interesting, albeit one of them was actually heartbreaking. The addition of the ex-wife (who is actually a NICE person) was refreshing. Pros: The chemistry between the leads remains strong. But take out the double stupidity and this movie could easily have had an extra one or two stars from me. For me, the mystery part of these series is just gravy, it's the relationships I watch for, so my overall score is not nearly as bad as it should be. In short, the climax of this movie was absolutely horrible. The final attempt by this person was almost as stupid as the motive. Because it is so ridiculous, I can't imagine anyone guessing it before it was revealed, but if you did, good for you. But the motive? Is this the most stupid murder motive ever? It's up there. There was a foreshadowing of the second mystery also, and I did think something there was suspicious. I thought the person who turns out to be guilty was suspicious looking, but I had no idea how that package would work out. The first murder mystery itself has two parts which is fairly clear from early on. They throw so many pieces into that part, that you need luck figuring it out. Maybe she'll be the third wheel in future episodes here.) The crime drama is very messy. (Cahill should get her own Signature Mystery, even if there are already too many of them.
Throw in Travis' ex played by Erin Cahill and it's even better. Great chemistry from veteran Hallmark actors. Unrelated Cliffhanger - really? I love the story about Jill Wagner and Kristoffer Polaha. Also, the final moments of this one?W They came out of the blue but that means that we will definitely have a 7th movie and I'm SO HAPPY! (maybe I should have) I was pleasantly surprised. THE ENDING? I did NOT see that plot twist coming. There wasn't enough Bud in this one, I like him. (It would have been a terrible cliche) Amy fighting the bad guy in high heels? Unrealistic. When I first saw the trailer, I didn't know what to expect but i'm glad that she just was there to do her job and didn't have any intentions towards Travis. And Travis' ex wife, an FBI agent called Kate. We have new characters! The first one was Maria Valdez, Travis new's partner. And I love the fact that Graham (Amy's dad) is their number one fan. I love how flirty Amy and Travis are, they don't even pretend anymore. I don't care if things are accurate of not, specially the procedures and stuff, they are only a mild annoyance. The most important thing for me is the story itself, and the most important element: the chemistry between Kristoffer and Jill. I think I have said this in every Mystery 101 review I have ever done but I just LOVE these movies.
3 different mysteries are woven together. While getting together to have dinner, a house explodes, leaving Travis hurt. Amy is offered to be head of a committee to select a new dean for the students. Okay, there are several things happening at the same time and it's kind of messy: Travis has to testify in Chicago for a case he was involved in and his ex-wife, Kate is there.
