The Two Mr. Kissels (2008 TV Movie)
5/10
Kissels Fizzles -The Two Mr. Kissels **1/2
18 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The film rapidly goes down in quality despite the interesting subject matter and some very good acting here.

The story again relates to the time old adage that money is the root of all evil.

The Kissel Brothers seemed to have had in made with their propensity for making money. Their lives took a turbulent path because of their financial success.

Robert was the better of the two; of course, being a work-a-holic, it cost him his marriage and ultimately his life. His wife Nancy is brilliantly played by an up and coming actress. How she thought that she could get away with killing him is beyond belief.

Andrew, on the other hand, who is played quite well by John Stamos, was hell-bent on a path of self-destruction. Embezzling from his own co-op building and others, he was destined to meet his end in the way he did.

The individual flashbacks by those within the brothers orbit doesn't work well here. In fact, it makes the film uneven and disjointed at times.

Nonetheless, this is an interesting film to view again due to the subject matter.
