The story of the murder of Rachel Nickell and the police honeypot that setup an innocent man is a compelling tale, and hopefully one day, a good true crime drama about the case will be made. But, this certainly isn't it, though it tries very, very hard to be. The scenes are often overly-dramatic, full of cliched, unnecessary scenes and dialogue, and shot using some sort of camera filter that just looks bad to me. The actors are all competent, but I'm thinking that the direction and final editing was the problem here. You'll find a much better telling of this story by just watching any of the true crime programs that have already covered the case.
