Too much of everything

Good movie but grossly overrated

A Major Disappointment

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I expected more out of this movie after reading the reviews. It was not nearly as good as others made it out to be. The relationship between Jodi and Travis that was depicted was completely inaccurate. Half the things they showed in this movie never even occurred and they grossly exaggerated how quickly their sexual relationship progressed. Other details were completely made up or changed for whatever reason, giving a different impression of how things actually happened. Why change names, events and other details when the public already knew them?! If you want to know how the relationship between Jodi and Travis really played out, read "Picture Perfect: The Jodi Arias Story". This movie should have had the disclaimer "Based on actual events", rather than "This is a true story".

This Lifetime film does a great job of depicting a pathetic relationship and sensational crime story that became fodder for the tabloids back in 2008.Tania Raymonde and Jesse Lee Soffer are thoroughly convincing as the obsessive seductress Jodi Arias and the Mormon motivational speaker Travis Alexander, whose in-the-shadows relationship was as torrid as it was dysfunctional.As is so often the case in dangerous liaisons, warning signs were present from the beginning. Jodi broke a boundary the first time she addressed Travis -- by barging into a men's room while he was urinating! It was just the first of many violations that Alexander refused to take seriously enough. He couldn't resist the sexy curves of a woman who knew all too well the power she held over men -- temporarily. Guys tended to use and discard her. This film depicts Jodi as an obsessive stalker who, in the case of her latest love -- a man who preached high standards but didn't follow them -- wasn't willing to accept another rejection.I don't know how accurate this movie was, but it does offer an explanation for how Jodi could have had sex with Travis, photographing him sensually in the shower, only to stab him shortly thereafter and shoot him in the face. The performances here are stellar, and the director creates tension as we watch Jodi up the ante, tormenting and then terrorizing a man she seems to both love and detest. Finally, in June 2008, he invites her in for tea. What were you thinking, man!? But then again, Travis didn't use his head much when Jodi was around. Jodi's boundary problems were evident from the start and the movie suggests Alexander had similar issues. He is amazingly open to reigniting passion with Jodi in the face of her increasingly sinister behavior, sending grievously mixed messages to a deeply troubled woman.To this film's credit, we get to know each of the principals in depth, with neither being shown as wholly likable or abhorrent.In all, this was magnificent work!

I for one never followed the real life Jodi Arias murder trial, because it always tied up HLN during the day so I never got to see any of the cute female news anchors on the network! No just kidding I'm not much into real life trials, anyway when a movie is brought to life about a shocking real life drama I'm in for a watch. And seeing that they would be plenty of eye candy in the form of Tania Raymonde made me a numerous watcher of this Lifetime TV movie. Boy if the real Jodi Arias looked this beautiful more people would have watched the real life trial! Tania Raymonde rocked with her performance her turn was cold and obsessive, and jealous possessive like a little devil. Yet the many scenes of Tania in those many sexy colored bras and panties was sexy it made the film thrilling to watch! Anyway starting in 2006 when Jodi(Raymonde)meets Travis at a motivation convention in Las Vegas, a sparkle is in the air. And upon a moment of hotel seduction where Jodi(Raymonde's such hot body) sports a green strapless bra with a lap dance showed that this was one wild push the limit get her way kind of girl! Yet from the get go Jodi showed signs of being jealous, and very possessive with being upset when another woman looked Travis's way she didn't even want any friends for him. The relationship was based on their hot and wild sex sessions that involved nude photos, online porn and of course Jodi wearing very sexy lingerie. This California girl was rocking the world of Travis now in his home state of Arizona.Thru it all it proves that without real love the sex and lust will fail in the end as the obsession and jealous like possessive behavior of a wicked woman leads to tragic ends for all involved, a blood death and a life sentence as passion kills and dies with the wrong person and when no love is around it's doomed. Still the performance of Tania Raymonde is so hot and sexy she's one actress on the rise.

Everybody knows the Jodi Arias story, so the whole movie is pretty much an exercise in futility from the very start. This movie provides no insights, revelations or alternate theories. It's a 2 hour television movie that dramatizes a creepy girl stalking a guy who is "just not that into her" for all but the last 10 minutes. Who hasn't been involved, or at least know somebody who has been affected by, a significant other who just couldn't let go? The reason this story captured our attention as a nation was what happened the day Travis Alexander was killed and everything after. We are fascinated by the totally emotionless narcissistic liar that is Jodi Arias & her unstable behavior after the murder. This movie totally misses the mark by spending 99% of its time telling a boring story. A director that is responsible for a classic like Eight Men Out should have been able to provide a better perspective on a tragedy that captured the American imagination. It's not poorly acted, poorly directed, nor even really poorly written... it just totally missed the mark of what made this case stand out. They spent zero time establishing what caused Arias to become such a monster. She wasn't just a pretty normal girl who cracked one day. Jeffery Dahmer wasn't just a mixed up kid who got jealous one day & neither was Jodi Arias. This movie totally misses exploring anything that made this incident stand out. If you want to watch a movie about a creepy stalker, check out Marky Mark in the movie Fear & don't waste your time with this.
