True Crime is a 1996 American psychological thriller film directed and written by Pat Verducci and starring Alicia Silverstone and Kevin Dillon.

She is addicted to mystery novels (graphic and otherwise), film noir and detective magazines (hence the movie's title).

Mary gets wind of a case involving the serial killer of several teenage girls, including a handful of her classmates.

Undaunted, Mary enlists the aid of police cadet Tony Campbell to sniff out the murderer; gradually, the two fall in love.

Ultimately, the name "Tony Campbell" is revealed to be an alias; his real name is Daniel Henry Moffat, and he proves to be the killer both Mary and Guinn are looking for.
