I loved it so much when I first saw it on Lifetime, I had to buy the DVD. I didn't know much about the case before watching, as, though I'm an avid news watcher, there hasn't been much on about this case considering it is ongoing. I did know the basics from watching part of a crime show that was covering it. You should watch the "Beyond the Headlines" part of the DVD first if you're unfamiliar with the case. It is equivalent to what I saw on the crime show.

The details, characters - nothing is overdone or misconstrued. From what I've researched on the case (I got into it after watching this film.), it seems very true to life. Though, Hayden Panettiere tries her best as Amanda, she just doesn't have the cold, unfeeling side to her that is very apparent in Amanda Knox. Ironically, Panettiere is of Italian descent, but the film does a good job of making her very much the outsider here. I think there is a little bias in favor of Knox (who I definitely think is guilty), though maybe I'm seeing that because the actress just does not make "Amanda" believable as a killer. Again, it is probably because I'm used to seeing the character in happy, bubbly roles.

Keep your eye on the female detective who is always wearing blue jeans (very casual for a detective, I would think, but as you will see the Italian legal system is quite different than ours). She cracks me up because she zeroed in on Amanda from the get-go and is merciless! I'm pretty shocked as an American to learn that the investigation methods seen in this film are what were used on Knox in real life, though I don't want to get into judging their legal system. The admissions of Knox and Solletico are the most damning evidence of all. I'm not a cop, but their behavior, even before questioning, was suspicious.

Back to judging the film itself - I think it lays out the case quite well. I would have liked to see more background on Meredith Kercher. It does not give you much indication of what kind of person she was or what kind of relationship she had to Amanda and the rest of her roommates. I guess though in real life, we really don't have that, either - just testimony from the roommates and people who knew Amanda and Meredith. It really is a mystery, and that is precisely what both the movie and the case leave us with - mystery.

I wanted to watch this movie to compare it to the books I have read about it. It was a good movie. I was interested in how the Italian Prosecutor was portrayed. I had read another book about him called the The Monster Of Florence. This man seems corrupt to say the least. Makes me wonder if he did have an agenda of his own. And maybe he did go after Amanda Knox.

In the Monster Of Florence Douglas Preston presents a gripping account of crime and punishment by this Prosecutor. In 2000, Douglas Preston fulfilled a dream to move his family to Italy. Then he discovered that the olive grove in front of their 14th century farmhouse had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known as the Monster of Florence. Preston, intrigued, meets Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to learn more. This is the true story of their search for and identification of the man they believe committed the crimes, and their chilling interview with him. And then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves become targets of the police investigation. Preston has his phone tapped, is interrogated, and told to leave the country. Spezi fares worse: he is thrown into Italy's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself. Like one of Preston's thrillers, The Monster Of Florence, tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, and suicide-and at the center of it, Preston and Spezi, caught in a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.

I love crime stories and books. I have been following the AMANDA KNOX case since 2007 when the murder happened. The movie is good. I wish it would have started a little differently. I have read a few of the books based on the story and decided to purchase Amanda's Memoir. It's great! Several ppl didnt like the movie but I did.

I enjoyed the coverage of this headliner news event that caugth the eye of much of the world in this DVD. I would like to see a second move made but as of today it looks like that will have to wait. After finding Amanda guilty, which is hwere this movie ends, she was found inniocent and now she is guilty again. The Italian judicial system involded here should all be tormented for what they have done here and are attempting to keep doing.

Do not watch this cinematic showing of the Amanda Knox trial if you believe in innocence. There were multiple incorrect facts, including her flatmates (depending on whether or not you like the Netflix documentary). While I did admire the acting of Hayden, I thought the real genius came from the costume director who clothed Rafelle. His turtlenecks were spot on!
While I got a good chuckle, I do not agree with the viewpoint of the film. From the start, it sets out to frame Amanda Knox and not allow the viewer to see they other side of the story. I feel as though Lifetime prevented me from learning the whole truth. Amanda Knox is clearly innocent (ask Netflix) and I feel that she was discriminated against in this film. I would recommend it for those who think she is guilty as this plays to you needs (but it is also an incorrect viewpoint). This shows just how the media sways opinions!
