This film is not for the faint-hearted, but it has somewhat of a happy ending, making it perfect for true- crime buffs who like cases neatly tied in a bow.

Once the action in Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey focuses on the investigation leading to the capture of Lisa's attacker, director Jim Donovan provides a gripping and satisfying narrative.

Rated: 3/5

I loved this movie! I’m a true crime fan and this movie captures the audiences attention and hooks you in with suspense. The actress who plays Lisa also plays Kara Robinson another similar movie to this (based on a true story) and she is a MARVELOUS actor! I really enjoyed the way the actual Lisa McVey talked about her experience at the end of the movie. It brings you back to life by reminding you this really happened to someone. All in all an amazing movie if you’re a true crime fan I would definitely recommend !!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
