    Interesting little detective girl thriller. There are some suspenseful scenes. Alicia Silverstone does well here.

    Actually I think True Crime was kinda good! It was nice to see Alicia so young, she's definitely a good actress.
    I liked the plot very much, with the serial killer etc.
    It wasn't great, but nice to see for sure! And I bought it for only 1 euro, that's less than 1 dollar! Yay!

    Liked this movie years ago. Re-watched it recently and it's still not a bad little film. Alicia Silverstone is likeable in one of her earlier roles.
