Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Once in a while, studio heads actually make sensible decisions. Kudos to whoever at Trimark screened the embarrassing ITrue Crime/I, an overwrought, under thought, "mystery" and decided, "You know, we really don't need to let the American public see this," and immediately sent it straight to video. Probably the one most pleased by the decision was Alicia Silverstone, who didn't need this type of thing getting a theatrical distribution and hurting her blossoming career. As for Kevin Dillon? Well, he was probably happy just to get paid. Silverstone plays the teen Nancy-Drew-meets-Encyclopedia-Brown protagonist who teams up with fresh-faced police cadet Dillon to try to bag a serial killer who's been butchering teenage girls at travelling carnivals in various cities. Writer-director Pat Verducci packs his thriller with implausible detective work and numerous plot twists, all visible 20 minutes away. The "shock" ending can pretty much be worked out within the first act, leaving viewers another hour to watch Verducci concoct several amateur dream sequences, and explore a disgusting sexual relationship between Silverstone and Dillon. By the end, the question isn't so much "Whodunit?" as "Who cares?" --IDave McCoy, Amazon.com/I

Customer Reviews: True Crime - truly impressive! October 27, 2003 F. V. L. Buliciri (London, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Alicia Silverstone is an actress whose acting ability has clearly been overlooked over the years.She is a good actress and in True Crime she is excellent as a 16 year old schoolgirl with ambitions to become a policewoman as well as an obession with 'True Crime,'magazine.Her passion for crime is aroused when a fellow schoolmate is tragically murdered by a serial killer preying on young girls. She conducts an investigation of her own and incurs the wrath of local detective Jerry Guinn (Bill Nunn)and the attentions of an enigmatic stranger in town and new police cadet Tony Campbell (Kevin Dillon).brI really liked this film and it is one of Alicia Silverstone's best films.She is certainly not the teenage bombshell as seen in 'Clueless,' and she displays her competency and skill as an actress. She is superb as Mary Giordano the crime obesessed teenager who gets more than she bargained for when she decides to turn into an amateur sleuth and solve the grisly murders that have taken place. With great supporting performances from both Bill Nunn and Kevin Dillon this is a good film and for any Alicia Silverstone fan a must see film. There is more to Alicia Silverstone than meets the eye as she proves in this underrated thriller.
