Homicide: The Movie (2000)

As a friend of mine said, “I’m so glade they made this movie.” The true ending to the series this follow-up tele-pic wraps up many of the unresolved story lines, and boasts appearances by every series regular. There was something just wonderful about seeing all of the characters intermix, including some that never had before because they were on during different seasons. The story takes some interesting turns and continued the Homicide tradition of pushing the envelope, who’d have ever thought the whole thing would end the way it did. Audacious, thought provoking. If you’ve never seen the series before you’d probably have trouble making heads or tails of the thing, but if you’re a devoted fan it will be a significant eighty-nine minutes. My grade: A.
