Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

This is a B-movie through and through, but thanks in large part to a deep cast of familiar faces and reliable character actors, it's a solid crime thriller that respects the true-life blueprint of the story.

Rated: 3/4

Variety

This trashy trawl through a fictionalized version of the “West Mesa Murders" is the kind of dubiously moralizing exploitation exercise that makes Sound of Freedom look like a noble class act by comparison.

It's interesting, but you have to know going in that the basic case was never solved, and they stay true to that.

The culprit behind these murders has still never been found, which this screenplay mostly uses as fodder for a bit of psycho-thriller exploitation.

This was an absolutely terrible movie. Storyline was all over the place and acting was horrible. Feel I was baited into renting it by casting Mel Gibson. I want my $4.99 and my 90mi items back !

SPOILERS: I didn't read about the movie before I saw it. I didn't realize until the drop you on your head result that it was not unlike any other docu drama I've seen that Hollywoodizes a true story to dramatize it. There was a little bit of comic relief with Mel Gibson's actually minor part in the movie. The rest of it seemed like a who done it until your finally find out you never find out anything. Can I get my 90 minutes back?

Unoriginal and bland. About as exciting as watching white paint dry.

This film is a pathetic attempt at developing a script, with poor editing, dull lighting, flat acting and general engagement. It is hard to believe Mel Gibson stooped so low to act in a worn out formularised film. I real stinker.
