An Officer and a Murderer is a made-for-TV movie that aired in 2012. The movie is based on the true story of Colonel Russell Williams, a decorated Canadian Air Force officer who was arrested and convicted for the murders of two women, as well as a string of sexual assaults and burglaries.
The movie focuses on the investigation of Williams and the efforts of Detective Jim Smyth, a small town police detective, in bringing him to justice. Williams, who was initially suspected in the burglaries and sexual assaults, was eventually linked to the murders of two women, Jessica Lloyd and Marie-France Comeau.
The movie portrays Williams as a cold and calculating killer who had a dark secret life, including a fetish for women's lingerie. It also shows the toll that the investigation took on Detective Smyth, who was determined to solve the case despite facing obstacles from higher-ups in the police department.
The movie received mixed reviews, with some critics praising the performances of the lead actors and the attention to detail in the portrayal of the investigation, while others criticized it for being overly sensationalistic and exploitative of the real-life tragedy.
