Citizen Jane (2009 TV Movie)
9/10
Citizen Jane- Another Erin Brockovich ***1/2
16 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Excellent movie dealing with a young widow, practically engaged to a man she knew for 20 years. He is kind, quiet, respectful and ultimately quite diabolical.

Poor Aunt Gertrude. She raised Jane and is soon murdered in a most vicious fashion. Who killed Aunt Gertrude?

Believe it or not, we find this out after about 40 minutes into this engrossing film. Our nice quiet guy is anything but. Imagine, he killed the old woman so that he could live off the $1 million dollars that she left to her niece. What is most shocking is at the end when a policy reveals that he insured Jane, so he was going to kill her as well.

Jane becomes relentless in trying to discover the killer and when that's quickly revealed, she works hard to find her boyfriend guilty in this dastardly crime. In the interim, he has stolen all her funds. She is literally forced to sell her home and live in poverty.

There is a great performance by someone by the name of Meat Loaf, who plays a very intelligent detective who inherits the case. What kind of name is Meat Loaf? He is certainly no ham actor along with an excellent cast.
