filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

dukeakasmudge I 1st read the book In Broad Daylight when I was a kid (GREAT book) & after hearing there was a movie based on the book, I just had to see it.In my opinion, the movie was almost as good as the book was.If you liked the movie, pick up the book & if you liked the book, watch the movie.I say it a lot in my old Made For TV movie reviews, they don't make Made For TV movies like they use to & here's another.In Broad Daylight had my attention right from the start & had me on the edge of my seat till the very end.Brian Dennehy was absolutely evil.If I had a list of movie villains I LOVE to HATE, Brian Dennehy as Len Rowan would be 1 of them.I don't understand why In Broad Daylight & some other Made For TV movies as well were never released on DVD.If it ever is, I'd pick it up.I can't imagine everybody liking this movie but I think that most people that watch it will

paul bolger The thing that disturbs me most about this man's reign of terror is that it could happen almost anywhere - any place where laws are rendered useless by a combination of slick lawyers, intimidated witnesses and 'jobs-worth' officials. Despite our hopes and belief that we are advancing in all areas of society, this film serves to remind us that over-complicating the system has the ability to set us back to square one.Prior to the set-up of recognised Police Forces in the UK (apart from the efforts of feeble wardens) criminal activity was sometimes countered by the raising of a 'Hue & Cry' - the local community rallying around with anything they had to hand to give chase and apprehend the culprit(s) - for everything from sheep stealing to murder. That is exactly what these people did in order to protect themselves AND RIGHTLY SO - there is no better precedent than something that has existed since the dawn of civilisation. If we have a system that is rendered next to useless by having the law-enforcers handcuffed, what else can we expect? This PC world we live in has gone berserk - for every pro-victim advocate that exists there seem to be ten on the side of the culprit.The film was excellent and deserves to be on DVD - whether it was low budget or not. The slow-burn, laid back yet chilling portrayal by Brian Dennehey (whose work I have always admired) was simply the cherry on top - everyone should see this film at least once and I totally agree with the comments made by both blondie and gunrunner.The latter contributor's comments loosely reminded me of a rowdy local family who were eventually 'run out of town' by the strict application of laws, however trivial. Three police officers (often assisted by more) were assigned to shadow them around the clock and, after a while, the sheer cost of their misdemeanours in fines and other inconveniences forced this one-family crime wave to move. I am not saying this would have worked in the case of ROWAN in IBD but it might have spared the community from taking the role of Judge, Jury & Executioner upon themselves, the trauma and burden of which they have had to carry ever since.

graabein This (TV) movie is sort of like a western - except the story told actually happened and it happened in the 1980s, not the 1880s.One man terrorizes a small town. The townspeople are too intimidated to do much about it, except an old WWII veteran who finally manages to inspire some resolve into the townspeople.Good performances all around by the cast, but the shining star of this movie is Brian Dennehy. His menacing portrayal of evil is one of his best performances ever.

captainswizzle As this was based on a true incident in a small Missouri town N/E of Springfield, MO, I found it to be 98% factual. The actual actions of the "town bully" were in fact more shocking than the movie portrayed. "Rex's" (the real name of the bully) daughters still live in the area but do not speak of their father. If you can picture the retired football player Larry Czonka playing the part you'd be right on!
