Karen J This True Story Movie about Charles Weather & Caril Ann Fugate Written & Directed by:. Michael O'Hare Robert Markowitz Called Murder in The Heartland Actor Tim Roth Actress Fairuza Balk. It was aired on Lifetime but I have not been able to find it. & I've even contacted Lifetime! I was wondering if "OR" where can I find this movie?? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Well doen docudrama about the killer teenagers of the 1950's with outstanding performances from Tim Roth as Charles Starkweather and Fairuz Balk as Caril Fugate. Close to the facts and expertly done for the television. good outdoor scenery and auethinic period of the 1950's clothes and cars make this a worth while watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Spannende Story, die aber ruhig eine halbe Stunde Kürzung vertragen hätte. Davon abgesehen ist die Besetzung aber toll. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding film. One of the most intense. Simply excellent. I thought it was quite horrific, cold, disturbing and thrilling. Kept me entertained all the way through. Tim Roth's performance was magnificant and dominant. This film is quite underrated. But it was spectactular to watch. Was quite messed up with the court and such, so much lying in such little time. It ended with a bang. Well, electricly speaking. Haha. Freaking awesome, and messed up. <a href="http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/gaspardxx/?action=view¤t=jjj.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/gaspardxx/jjj.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie True movie too, which gives Nebraskians a chill down there spine.
