i saw true crime when it be first release back in the mid ninety and i have watch it many time since . it be a great mystery about mary ( play by alicia silverstone ) and a high school senior in a california town who classmate young sister be torture and kill by an unknown murderer . mary meet tony ( play by kevin dillon ) and a police cadet who see how bright she be and they decide to work together to try to find the killer . many suspect in this one . true crime feel very true or real to me . i read a newsgroup review where someone write that total suspension of disbelief be present here and it be so true . alicia silverstone be perfect in this role and kevin dillon and bill nunn do a great job and a do the other actor . the location be right on and the writer or director and pat verducci and really capture some of the reality of teenage life and of mary loneliness ( see the scene where mary awakens from the dream sequence after have view the photo she take of tony ) . i wish verducci would make more movie . i have not see any other movie quite like true crime . positive .
