PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Neurotic businessman Greg Brentwood (MICHAEL KITCHEN) throws an extravagant anniversary party for his wife, Linda (PHYLLIS LOGAN), at their English country home. One of the caterers, Marcey (SOPHIE OKONEDO) quietly admires the couple\u2019s love for each other\u2014until she sees an intimate moment between Linda and Greg\u2019s business partner, Martin (TOM KNIGHT). When Marcey later returns to the house to retrieve her handbag, she walks in on a frightening scene: Greg moving Martin\u2019s lifeless body. After the initial shock, Greg assures her it was an accident, and Marcey offers to help him dispose of the corpse.<\/p>\n

As the police investigate the death, Greg becomes increasingly anxious, while Marcey urges him to remain calm. But as she starts to uncover the Brentwoods\u2019 darkest secrets, she begins to wonder what she has gotten herself into.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The movie is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a standard but okay Dolby Digital Stereo track which provides for clear dialogue levels. Neither of these are particularly noteworthy but solid enough.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overall, Alibi<\/em><\/strong> is a entertaining and often darkly humorous British mystery-thriller that excels courtesy of Michael Kitchen\u2019s first-rate performance, alongside Sophie Okonedo. This 2003 TV movie is getting, at least according to Amazon, its third release and given the other two are OOP and fetch a very high price, the price tag certainly seems worth it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
