Each day Hamo wakes to the rabble of eccentric villagers before making the long bus journey through the snow to an isolated cemetary and the grave of his beloved wife. Each day he brushes the fresh snow from her grave. Each day he spies on Nina an attractive widow taking a few contemplative hours out from her lowly job on a roadside lemon vodka stall. With the sporadic letters from his son yielding little in the way of comfort or money Hamo's thoughts turn to his burgeoning friendship with the beguiling Nina on the silent empty bus journey from the village to the cemetary and back...

Once in a while, studio heads actually make sensible decisions. Kudos to whoever at Trimark screened the embarrassing True Crime, an overwrought, under thought, "mystery" and decided, "You know, we really don't need to let the American public see this," and immediately sent it straight to video. Probably the one most pleased by the decision was Alicia Silverstone, who didn't need this type of thing getting a theatrical distribution and hurting her blossoming career. As for Kevin Dillon? Well, he was probably happy just to get paid. Silverstone plays the teen Nancy-Drew-meets-Encyclopedia-Brown protagonist who teams up with fresh-faced police cadet Dillon to try to bag a serial killer who's been butchering teenage girls at travelling carnivals in various cities. Writer-director Pat Verducci packs his thriller with implausible detective work and numerous plot twists, all visible 20 minutes away. The "shock" ending can pretty much be worked out within the first act, leaving viewers another hour to watch Verducci concoct several amateur dream sequences, and explore a disgusting sexual relationship between Silverstone and Dillon. By the end, the question isn't so much "Whodunit?" as "Who cares?" --Dave McCoy, Amazon.com
