Mediocre Crime Story Outstanding actress, 8 July 2004
8/10
Author: gmcdouga-1 (gmcdouga@c1ama.net) from Amarillo TX

I was not particularly impressed with the story, being a criminal defense attorney I could see some major holes in it.

BUT Kathleen Robertson, the main character grabbed me like a boll dog and would NOT let go.

I can see a long and great career for this young woman - she has a stunng beauty and is a great actress.

Brava, brava, brava Kathleen.

I look forward to seeing more of her work.

Glad to read that she has moved here, I suspect her career in the great while cold north would be very limited.
