this be a tv movie base on the murder of martha moxley in greenwich in the mid 1970 . base how much on truth it hard to tell . this much be certain . it be base on the book write by mark fuhrman . anyway and the movie depict the crime in flashback and it aftermath and include the arrest of a suspect and some 25 year after and who be never consider a suspect at the time . in the movie and fuhram of course be largely responsible for the arrest and closure of the case for martha survive family and in particular her mother . the narrative of the film be by the ghost of martha moxley and talk in the first person . this be a very effective device in this movie . to me and it add more impact to the movie and and put a human face on the murder victim ( if only an actress play the part ) maggie grace play martha and and i be really impressed with her . there be no way for certain to know mark fuhrman motive in investigate the crime . it could have be out of a sense of justice and maybe he really care . or maybe he just saw dollar sign from a future bestselling book . either way and it make for an interesting movie . it well act and fairly fast paced . i do not think there be a lot of extra and unnecessary stuff in the movie and just what be need to tell the story . one could argue that they leave out thing that would have shed a bit more light on the proceeding and and one would be right . also and one may argue that the end be abrupt and again one would be right . but and a i say and for me and i think they tell the story with at least most of the essential . anything else would have likely require a miniseries . a an aside and there be a miniseries entitle a season in purgatory which come out 6 year ealier ( 1996 ) which this movie have some parallel to and even if only faint . however and if you like this movie and then you may be interested in a season in purgatory . it be my belief that a season in purgatory be in fact a fictionalized account of the same crime . anyway and for me and murder in greenwich be an positive .
