Only one redeeming value...the fact that Provincetown MA is the beautiful backdrop setting for this abysmal waste of film. I can only imagine the conversation that took place as the genesis for this movie. Friends sitting around a dining room table. "Hey how about a road trip to Cape Cod!"; "Great idea. I love it"; "Hell, yeah"; "So what are we going to do down there?"; "I know this great place we can stay in Provincetown. And, get this, we'll make a movie"; "Really? About what?"; "Remember that murder in Truro?"; "Wow, that's a depressing subject"; "Wait, we don't know how to make a movie?"; "Hey I got dibs on the stoner guy role"; "Hilarious!"; "Just might be...." One other point, a lot of reviews mentioned this supposed movie as equivalent of a Lifetime movie. That's doing a disservice to Lifetime. Even during their movies, they stop playing the incessant background music. BTW, a good drinking game is how many times "boat" is mentioned. Guaranteed you'll be toasted within 10 to 20 minutes.

I learned that they still make bad movies. I also learned that there are actual Shellfish Wardens. Well paid in fact, but it requires a college degree, a bunch of experience, so being handed a jacket and hat is just a bit too unrealistic. The actress who played Mrs. Luna is apparently the director's wife. Mau maybe they needed an extra. Oh, and someone mentioned the kid wearing a Giants hat. That is actually a New York Islanders hat.

I got about ten minutes into this film...quite possibly the worst ten minutes of screen time, ever. Appalling acting, horrendous script - even visually insipid. 0 stars from me. Why, Netflix, why?!!

My family cannot forgive me for choosing this movie. The storyline was both slow and also rushed. It seems that there was no director in the movie and the actors took turns to film different scenes themselves. Valuable data download was lost as we watched this whilst on holidays. There was obviously not much of a budget for this movie as the same clothes were constantly worn and the actors seemed to be random locals rather than professionals. The camera would pan in and out of focus and the scenes would cut from one to another with no flow of the storyline. It's such a shame as it sounded like a great storyline. I have never written a movie review in my life however felt it was imperative to warn people to not watch it. The only good thing about this movie was the way my family bonded over the terrible acting and directing. P.S Don't forget to do a Where's Wally to find the one extra they could afford to pay that appears randomly in scenes.

My mind began drifting immediately. The writing is abysmal. The structure is kind of random. Quite possibly has the least talented actors ever assembled. The sound track is so banal, yet overblown. This is bad. It's just horrid.

THE most pathetic film ever made. The acting was grade-school performance-esque, Actors were second-rate, at best. Story line was fragmented and really, really stupid. Looked like the director wanted to tell a story but didn't know how. Was it a budget problem? Time dilemma? Lack of knowledge? Please remove this piece of crap from Netfilx and bury the film canister in a very deep hole.

I read the reviews before I watched this, and thought, really, nothing could be this bad. I was wrong, they were right. Slow, predictable, and uneven. Almost comedic in its poor performance. At one point I thought this was a spoof.

I thoroughly enjoyed the well researched and insightful ABC News Podcast - A Killing on the Cape. (ABC News also produced a bit less enjoyable, less insightful two hour TV version) This movie has a lot of moxie claiming to be based on a true story. Christa Worthington was murdered IRL and is the victim in this monstrosity of a movie but that's where the connection to the true story ends. The acting is atrocious, the production pathetic and the writing (uh, where's my alliterative thesaurus?) just wrong ... My wife wisely gave up ten minutes in. But I was intrigued as to how many Elegis does it take to make a movie. Different folks with that surname were crammed into the credits or maybe the same folks wearing different hats. The investigative podcast - A KILLING on the Cape - consisted of 7 episodes, each around 40 minutes. This allowed plenty of time to delve into the backgrounds of the main and tangential figures in the investigation. MURDER on the Cape focuses exclusively on the relationship of Christa and the ex-fisherman and totally ignores almost all the elements of the real case. So not only is it bad, it's also disingenuous. And yes, as all the other reviews have pointed out, it's bad, really bad. Knowing much of the real story only makes it worse, much worse. Finally, no disrespect to all the Elegis. They are probably fine people. Ms. Elegi used her own children in the move, IMDB notes. But maybe movie making isn't meant for them. Or at the very least, making movies based on real events.

Netflix have been putting on some excellent movies. However this is simply awful with some of the worst acting I've ever seen The dialogue is beyond bad and you are hypnotized by how unbelievably cringing this film is. Having just seen 3 Billboards and watched brilliant actors it's hard to believe these actors are in the same profession
