Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Jack Vasen Shannon, played by the singer Jewel, is a totally likeable woman whose career is contracting. But she keeps getting sidetracked by murders. In this one, the trail of clues wanders a bit. We get a bit more romance between Shannon and Mac as Jewel and Colin Ferguson connect.

Ed-Shullivan Through no fault of the main actors in this made for television movie "Concrete Evidence: A Fixer Upper Mystery" just was not very intriguing. Jewel Kilcher who plays female general contractor and part time amateur sleuth Shannon Hughes has at least three suspects one of which who may be responsible for a 20 year old murder that has remained a mystery. That is a murder mystery until the teenage high school victims body is discovered in an old abandoned home in the bottom cavity of a dumb waiter in the house that Shannon Hughes has been charged with renovating.Mrs. Shullivan and I just found the plot to be quite thin on circumstances and how the evidence unfolds in the hands of Shannon Hughes and her contractor/admirer Mac Sullivan (played by Colin Ferguson) and her good friend Jennifer Hennessey (played by Erin Karpluk from the 2010-2015 TV police series Rookie Blue) was just too wishy washy. Quite frankly it just didn't hold our attention and then we both felt that "oh no, not another stinker ending" feeling. But sad to say, yes, the ending left a lot to be desired for a murder mystery film.I give it a 4 out of 10 rating and believe me, this I consider high praise for the main actors did an admirable job with a pretty weak script. This is not a memorable film and I am writing this review to remind myself that if it ever comes back as a re-run why for the life of me I may not be able to remember anything about the film.

bkoganbing A mostly Canadian cast and Canadian locations are what makes Concrete Evidence happen. This Hallmark mystery movie involves Jewel Pilcher who has taken over a construction company from her dad Ron Lea. She's working on a job for Colin Ferguson a mystery writer who has bought a rundown old mansion. It's a fixer-upper to either flip or live in and since Ferguson has a thing for Pilcher it will be the latter.But plans go awry when a skeleton is found in a dumbwaiter that was deliberately sabotaged to be stuck between floors. It's the body of a girl who was a contemporary of Pilcher's in school. When she wasn't found it was thought she went off to Hollywood to seek fame and fortune. Now a missing persons case becomes a really cold case homicide. But a lot of the possible suspects are still in town. I will say this the killer is not one I suspected at all.The Hallmark mysteries seem to have a nice cookie cutter pattern where red state American women become the heroes. Still they do offer some good entertainment as this one does.
