Review of Too Late to Say Goodbye

Finished the Book this movie is based on several days ago and decided to watch the movie based on that book. I like Rob Lowe as an actor and Bart Corbin, who Rob portrays, was apparently handsome but not in Rob's league in my opinion. The movie changes several facts, the main one being that after he murdered his wife, Jennifer, he took refuge with his gullible brother, he refused to come back to the crime scene, refused to see his sons and refused to have the police investigators interview him. He did not turn up outside the house he shared with his estranged wife and his two young sons and he did not tell the police at the scene he wanted to see his sons and then they could interview him. No way did this narcissistic, poor excuse of a human being, husband and father, have those boys in his care and no way did he try to abscond with them. He was way too concerned for himself to think about anyone else in the Universe, let alone the World.

I was very disappointed with the Tele-Movie because I had read the factual book from front to back BUT if you haven't read the book or know too much about the case then by all means watch this movie and enjoy it for what it is. It is well written, well acted and a very interesting story. The son's names are changed in the Movie also, which I found odd because the books and reports name the boys quite openly.

I hope the real Bart Corbin stays in jail for the rest of his days and only leaves in a wooden box.

This movie deserves an 8 if you haven't any knowledge about the facts, only a 4 if you do.
