I love true story drama movies. This movie was great because it allowed it dealt with the flaws of both characters. The husband who was a womanizer with a gambling addiction, and a wife who was cheating and also was driven to purchase the home of her dreams. Was it his gambling addiction that got him killed or did his wife want him out of her life after she got what she wanted? I watched the movie 3 times because I found it enjoyable and interesting to watch.

Excellent Movie!!
Mediocre
Wendy Malick as the DA Preziosi played the role with a sadistic sneer which was very annoying. The story line was very inaccurate in the parts of the actual story that were known to be true, based on documentaries and the court coverage. Of course what could you expect from a Lifetime Channel movie. Yes I know it was a "dramatization", but it would have been a lot better if it was truer to the known facts.
Really stretched the truth - victim bashing
This film twisted the actual facts to make the victim Bill McGuire appear an aggressive, philandering, gambling addicted husband and his premeditated killer to be victimized. This does not even mirror the convicted killer's own story. She was having an affair w her married boss for YEARS- including family outings with both families- before she killed Bill to pursue a life with him. That was her motive, period. Unprovoked. They had their first sexual encounter at work when she was 9 months pregnant in his office- not after both kids were born. The actual story was interesting enough without embellishing it with victim trashing. Pretty disgusted.
