_**When senseless murder invades a community of love & faith**_ After a pastor (Frank Chiesurin) takes a job at an affluent assembly in the Puget Sound area, his family & congregants are rocked by homicide. Who did it? And, just as important, can they overcome the outbreak of fear? Rachel MacMillan plays the wife and Erin T. Allen the Sheriff. Based on a true story, "A Murder of Innocence" (2018) is a crime drama with an obvious faith-based element since it involves a pastor’s family and their new assembly. While clueless critics write off the biblical element as “propaganda,” I found the honest communions revolving around God and faith refreshing and convincing. The movie tackles the age-old conundrum of bad things happening to good people. How do survivors overcome the invasion of evil and the tragedies thereof? The filmmaking is on the level of a quality TV movie and I enjoyed it for what it is, a real-life crime drama involving mostly disciples of Christ. I appreciated the reverent ambiance and the honesty about how churches have to deal with things like jealousies and paranoid suspicions even while sincerely subscribing to a standard of love, which includes tough love. Really, the only flaw is that the story drags; the pace could’ve and should’ve been tightened up by about 10-15 minutes. The protagonist, by the way, has the Clark Kent vibe down to a ‘T.’ The film runs 1 hour, 43 minutes. GRADE: C+/B-

Their shocking deaths quickly become a cause célèbre for conspiracy theorists who speculate that Crowley was assassinated by a shadowy government concerned about a film and filmmaker that was getting too close to the truth about their aims.Promised a Miracle

2002-10-11A cop sets out to find a man who has been delivering too much of a good thing in this offbeat comedy. Police detective Martinez (Jesus Ochoa) has been handed a most unusual case -- a number of local prostitutes have been murdered, and it's up to Martinez to bring in the killer. What makes the case truly unusual, though, is the manner of death; it seems the hookers all died as a result of having orgasms so powerful they were literally fatal. Teaming up with cultural anthropologist Onofre (Daniel Giménez Cacho), Martinez hits the streets looking for clues, and eventually gets some unexpected help from Father Gorkisolo (Santiago Segura), a priest with a unusually deep knowledge of sexual matters. Asesino en Serio was the first feature film from director Antonio Urrutia; noted Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro served as executive producer.
