Dove Review

This is an involving detective yarn, with an alienated father and daughter learning to appreciate one another along the way. Unable to incorporate the usual amounts of exploitive sexuality, obscene language and brutal violence generally seen in theatrical films, the writers of this TV-film have had to depend on storytelling to capture the attention of its audience. Would that I could say that about a few more films being shown at the local Cineplex.
