Nice effects though.

Boring, long, and too preachy.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

In strange manner, he is the lead motif for see the film. like many movies inspired by real facts, something missing in story. for give to it nerve, interest, emotion. and , the good point becomes the performance of actors. in this case, exploring in inspired manner, the nuances of his character, Rob Lowe gives more than a good job. but a realistic portrait of a man of profound ambiguities.

This was definitely one of the better true-life murder mystery movies on Lifetime. Rob Lowe did a great job of capturing Peterson's creepy and egotistical personality. When I saw the previews, I was a little cynical over how his performance would play out. To be honest, the previews made him look "silly", physically. But, once I got into watching the story, and learning more about the back story... Lowe delivered a fine performance. Great supporting cast. Kaley Cuoco was a refreshing choice for the role of Stacy Cales. And, Catherine Dent played a great supporting role, as well. Really showed the comradery that can exists between members of law enforcement. Kept me watching and interested the entire time.

Drew Peterson: Untouchable (2012) ** 1/2 (out of 4) In today's age where people are convicted by the media before there's even a trial, Lifetime comes out with this film, which aired just before the real trial of Drew Peterson (Rob Lowe) started. In the film we see his relationship with his fourth wife Stacy (Kaley Cuoco), which starts out great but slowly falls apart and things get media attention when she goes missing under mysterious circumstances. You know, it would be incredibly easy to sit here and bash the heck out of this movie because for a "drama" there were certainly many unintentional funny things here. However, I guess if you go to a Drive-In trash flick you know not to expect a masterpiece so perhaps watching Lifetime TV movies like this one you should just expect silly things. As far as TV movies go, this here really isn't too bad as it at least gets the main job done, which is that it's never boring and it does keep your attention from start to finish. As someone fairly familiar with the original media outburst, the film managed to have some nice suspense sprinkled throughout and this is especially true towards the end once the net around Peterson started to get tighter. Lowe does a pretty good job with his performance as he manages to make you understand why these young girls would fall for him but he's also good showing why they'd be afraid of him. Cuoco is also good as the fourth wife and we get some nice support from Catherine Dent as her neighbor and James Karen as a priest. As I said, there's quite a bit of stuff here that comes off with unintentional laughs including a sequence where Drew catches his wife having dinner with an old friend. Other issues with the film include what every TV movie does and that's make everything over-dramatic to the point that it nearly reaches camp. Still, for a TV movie this is worth watching if you're into this type of thing.

Despite a very good performance by Rob Lowe as the demented police officer, the film often becomes muddled and quite obvious regarding what is going on.It isn't until about 1/2 hour into the film that you realize that the woman we thought was wife #1 was actually wife #3. Since no mention is made of Peterson's first two wives, it is assumed that he divorced them rather than going through the killing route.Insanely jealous, devious and cunning, Lowe depicted a very good picture of the guy that the cops believed was basically good.The film attempted to bring out the preference that police officers tend to get in crime cases in relation to other cops on the force.Lowe is a charmer who could fool just about anyone. The film also becomes a documentary in nature and many well-known people appear as themselves in telling the story.
