Editorial Review:
Boulder, Colorado has long been known as a peaceful community. Yet, since the day six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was discovered brutally murdered in her prominent family's home, this once idyllic community has become at a city at war with itself. Struggles rage between John and Patsy Ramsey, local law enforcement, the District Attorney as well as the national tabloid media fixated on issuing blame. Respected author, director and Emmy Award winning producer Lawrence Schiller (The Executioner's Song) spent over a year in Boulder meticulously researching and writing the best-selling book upon which this compelling miniseries is entirely based. This video edition features the longer director's cut not shown on television and features an all-star cast.
Description of Perfect Murder, Perfect Town:
The murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was tabloid fodder for years, but Perfect Murder, Perfect Town earns respect with its riveting focus on facts. In adapting his own bestselling book with writer Tom Topor, producer-director Lawrence Schiller (who chronicled the O.J. Simpson trial in An American Tragedy) wrangles dozens of characters into a complicated but coherent portrait of justice gone awry. Beginning with the Christmas-night murder in 1996 and spanning 18 months of investigation, this three-hour telefilm shows how sloppy police work, legal loopholes, and political conditions in Boulder, Colorado, made JonBenét's murder virtually unsolvable. Ronny Cox and CSI's Marg Helgenberger play the highly suspect Ramsey parents, steadfastly maintaining an innocent façade; their performances are ripe with ambiguity. Schiller also dramatizes the machinations of a tabloid journalist (Sean Whalen); a religious detective (Kris Kristofferson) hired by the Ramseys; the backstage maneuvering of Boulder's district attorney (Ken Howard); the poorly secured crime scene; and much more. With its semi-documentary approach and first-rate cast, the film covers a lot of territory but it's never confusing or exploitative. And still, the mystery remains. --Jeff Shannon
Perfect Murder, Perfect Town Reviews:
Perfect Murder, Perfect Town 
2009-11-13 - Execellent movie! It's a little lengthy, but keeps you watching until the credits roll! The first time I watched it on tv, I was ingulfed in the movie til the last clip, but disappointed that I had watched the whole movie, and still didn't know who killed her! I guess I was thinking they would solve the case in the movie, oops! It's a great movie to add to your collection if you followed The Jonbenet Ramsey Case at all. The movie is very well made and accurate. It raises some very interesting questions about the case and those involved in the investigation process. I highly recommend this movie!

Longer than 90 Minutes! 
2007-05-20 - First of all, I saw this movie when it aired on television and it was a two part mini-series. The cast is first rate with Ronny Cox and Marg Helgenberger as the Ramseys. Jane Powell as the dance teacher. Ann-Margret as Nedra Volz, Patsy's mom and JonBenet's grandmother. Kris Kristofferson is perfect playing Lou Smit, the detective who believes that a stranger did it and not the Ramseys. There were lots of interesting performances like Sean Whalin playing the tabloid reporter, Jeff Shapiro, who would have converted to Episcopalian in order to get his story. There are others like Anne Sward who played the neighbor. The two part mini-series was disturbing at times and realistically tried to bring the true events of the situation to life. Sadly, the crime has never been solved and never will be. Patsy is gone. She died of cancer. The Grand Jury has pretty much cleared the Ramseys because there wasn't enough evidence to go to trial in the first place.
