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
