Movie #3435 ........................."Long Bright River" (Peacock)

Movie  #3435 "Long Bright River (Peacock)   I must start this by saying I really enjoy watching Amanda Seyfried is everything she has done --- I find her facials to be very interesting.  And she plays a sad sack here --- there's not much going for her --- lots of baggage, with a sister that has addiction and lives on the streets of Philadelphia, and she's trying to find her --- she does this while on the job as a cop -- while investigating a murder of several of these homeless girls like her sister, she is constantly trying to find her sister --- she feels to blame for why she is on the streets.  As a result this is a haunting portrayal of this woman, and Amanda handles that very well.  She makes a lot of mistakes, go off alone by herself when she shouldn't, stuff like that.  I guessed the murderer from pretty much the beginning, but there are some twists and turns along the way that i did not guess  - In fact, - I found myself watching an ending to one of the episodes, but then starting up the next one because of the way the one in front ended.  However, I disliked that the very  ending was not more finished.  For example, not giving anything way, she has a dream -- so is it ever fulfilled?   and the romance --- does it ever happen for her?  I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
