Show more >> Murder Has Two Faces tries to tackle a significant issue but often feels like it’s skimming the surface rather than diving deep. While the premise is intriguing, the execution sometimes lacks the emotional punch one would hope for. Robin Roberts shines as a narrator, bringing a familiar warmth to the film, yet the pacing occasionally drags, making it hard to maintain interest. There are moments of genuine tension, but they are interspersed with stretches that feel more like filler than substance. The film raises important questions about media attention and victimhood, but I found myself wishing for a more profound exploration. It's a decent watch for those interested in the topic, but it may not leave a lasting impression. Show less
