Customer Reviews for
Verdict in Blood
soap opera
If you're looking for a good whodunit, forget this one. Melodramatic soap opera only, not one earned emotion, one-dimensional stick figure characters, wooden representations of social and personal issues relating to crime and justice.
If I could give it a zero, I would.Verdict in Blood
WHO KILLED THE JUDGE?
VERDICT IN BLOOD is one of four Canadian made for TV movies in the Joanne Kilbourn mysteries. Wendy Crewson does a solid job as Joanne, a former cop who is now working as a tv correspondent. An old friend, a judge (Sally Kellerman) is murdered in her home, the apparent victim of a burglary gone wrong. Kilbourne joins her new beau detective (Shawn Doyle) to investigate the killing. There are plenty of suspects: an ex-con (Robert Davi) who is running a halfway house for kids; the victim's two daughters; a blackmailing lawyer; and a local kid that Kellerman provided shelter for. These movies are entertaining in a MURDER SHE WROTE kind of way. Cerebral, with little violence and heavy plotting. I first saw A KILLING SPRING, and enjoyed it immensely too. If you're tired of plotless special effects gory movies, the Joanne Kilbourne series is well worth your time.Verdict in Blood
