Quotes
Ben Nickerson: Who the hell wears a Montalvo? Never heard of it.
Detective Hollis: We searched every retailer in Shreveport. None of them have ever carried a Montalvo. They stopped making it in 1999.
Ben Nickerson: That tells how popular they were.
Detective Riddick: Maybe the guy was from Italy.
Ben Nickerson: Right, this has all the earmarks of a mafia hit.
Lieutenant Merchant: What about a tourist, you know, looking for some late-night action?
Ben Nickerson: [sighs] Maybe. I don't know. This smells like an evidence box stored next to all those other evidence boxes of unsolved homicides. I hate that smell. I really do.

I liked the story

Despite the almost unanimous negative reviews by viewers and professional critics, I liked "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt". Why? This movie is a combination of an old-fashioned mystery story combined with an indie film style.

I have been a longtime fan of old detective films and I also like modern low-budget independent movies like "Management" and "Little Miss Sunshine". This combination of styles; old-fashioned mystery and indie low-budget, didn't bother me.

I accepted that many of the actors were not the greatest around today, or that the lighting and sound was almost never polished and was often primitive. And that the music soundtrack was just adequate.

But what I very much enjoyed was the story itself. This is a great mystery plot which kept me guessing. And I like those kinds of stories.
