This has no doubt been done before but the cast takes the script and makes it interesting anyway, with some twists and surprises along the way, as a college professor tries to solve the murder of one of her female students.

LEAVE IT ALONE, Feb 11 2012

I groaned as the film opened with "Inspired by True Events." Too late. I had already paid for it. Natasha Henstridge sadly plays a college law professor who can't spring her innocent brother from jail. In the opening scene, a college girl gets killed. Her nerdy roommate, Brea Gant with some facial zits, whose only alibi was an empty library, gets blamed.
The story had many plot holes. I had to laugh at the bad writing. The victim was last seen with a boy, no DNA rape test. The boy is never questioned. The roommate is charged with circumstantial evidence. Her attorney was idiotic. The police action was bad, especially for LA that has the resources. Henstridge dons her CSI gear to solve the crime...she looks at Facebook profiles and uses her cell phone camera. At one point she gets a message "Leave it Alone." Oh the tension just builds and oozes...NOT!
And you don't want to break into a California TV home because they keep a golf club by the bedroom door for protection!
There are no girls in plaid skirts as seen on the cover (I could have added a star for that). This was made for TV quality...about 1970.
No f-bombs. There is an opening, dimly lit sex scene (brief nudity?).
5.0 out of 5 stars
