Review of An Officer and a Murderer

This is a very well paced and realistically made Lifetime movie about the true story of Canadian Air Force colonel Russ Williams. His gradual escalation from underwear theft to home invasion and murder is carefully and realistically portrayed here. Gary Cole gives a balanced and believable performance as the main character. The straightforward telling without flashbacks is good and the tension and fear of the victims is quite terrifying.

The police investigation is fascinating with the various mistakes and eventual breakthrough.

Looks like there are some crazy serial pervert killers up North too.

Worth a watch.
