But it's very good. It's a notch above the average fare in this genre. You do have to remember it's just a made for television movie - or miniseries to be more exact. About three and one half hours running time.
And no, it's not going to have the continuity of a 'real' movie, not with it's continual fade outs for barrages of advertisements.
But given that the genre is severely handicapped - and that interest in features such as this is most often rather prurient, this one does very well.
Harmon is so good he's really disgusting and you really get to hate him by the end. Too bad for Mark: it's going to be hard to get glamorous movies where he can cut to the chase with Meg after things like this and the Bundy one.
Rachel Ward is simply excellent; Morris is very convincing; they're all very good and the screen writing is above average too, as is the camera work.
It's a very tragic and very gripping story and well worth the time spent to view it.
