to those that think that this movie is unbelievable, i am very sorry to say that it is. that this happened is a very horrible tragedy and affected very many people. i have not seen this movie since i was very young so i cannot tell you if the acting was bad or good, the only thing that i know is that for approximately one week i kept reading the papers to find out if they had discovered my cousin's body or capture Gary Tison. now that i am older and more capable of watching the movie ( i think) i am trying to locate it. if anyone can help with this please email me.
