One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I like True Story films but not like this especially when its a murder no known of in the U K. But it seems nearer to the true story of how a disgraced detective wrote a book about it.Why was he disgraced? God knows it never said unless he was a racist. Whatever these flashbacks don't make for a complete story- as -it -happenned.It could have been so much more interesting if the book had not been like it was a main character in the story. The end was too quick and the way the killer was caught was not actually shown as it jumped the years just in time to here he'd got 25 years or something. But it just acts as a reminder that all these kind of murders where some teenager is snuffed out for no good reason-they usually say "crime oassionel" or something but it wasn't even that it was pretty senseless-deserve the death penalty.To deprive someone so young of having children and their parents grandchildren is to my mind a crime deserving of death.It reminds me of how much I favor the death penalty because no parent should have to bury their own child

I was so disappointed in this movie. I am very familiar with the case, having read not only Mark Fuhrman's book but also the far superior "A Wealth of Evil: The True Story of the Murder of Martha Moxley in America's Richest Community" by Timothy Dumas. Anyone who watches MURDER IN GREENWICH should be aware they're watching The Mark Fuhrman story, not the Martha Moxley story. This film is nothing more than an ego-trip for Fuhrman. Just watch his character strut around as if he is the second coming (yes, even being ogled by women). The actors playing the kids look way too old for their roles and the flashbacks to the 1970s are totally unconvincing. If there is any hero to this story, it's Martha's family, her mother Dorothy and brother John. They kept this case alive for two decades before Fuhrman walked into it in order to make a name for himself. They, and Martha, deserve to have the true story told.

Having seen this without knowing all the hoopla surrounding the lead character, indeed without even knowing that it was based on real-life events, I must say I am impressed. "Murder in Greenwich" is an above average production for a made-for-TV movie - the acting is uniformly great, Christopher Meloni in particular putting in a stand-out performance and the teen actors excel in what are difficult roles. The idea of the dead girl narrating the movie is a stroke of genius which elevates the movie from merely good to excellent. The script is exemplary for what is essentially movie-of-the-week fodder and the cinematography is beautiful.

This was truly a insightful way of looking into the Moxley case. Marth and her family deserved for their story to be seen and now they have gotten their chance. The actors in the show were very talented and had the characteristics of each character they played. Maggie Grace as Martha was amazing...she looked a lot like Martha. I'd say this was one of the best tv movies i have seen in a long time!
