Review of I Was Lorena Bobbitt

Mediocre TV film. The story is important and interesting but the way it is shown is not very convincing. Script tells details of the remarkable case reasonably and clearly, but it is not engaging or balanced enough. The idea of mixing documentary/real testimonies and fiction parts is often successful, but here it adds nothing. Acting is slightly over, but not properly bad. Music score is the paramount cliché of a thriller generic one, but certainly there are many soundtracks which are worse elsewhere. There is an exploitation atmosphere that weakens the film's outcome, but not enough to make it be bad. Action and outdoor scenes are not poor, but not impressive either. To resume, the movie is tepid and also flirts to a soap opera style, reaching a quite mediocre level. Though, not properly a bad one...
