Audience Member unable to watch the movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member this was actually a really good movie. had it been fiction, it wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining. bud bundy played a good part, and it was directed well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fictional garbage. The acting is so bad it borders on comical at times. Seriously questioning some of the other reviewers intelligence who gave this film any stars at all. Have I made myself clear on how horrendous this film was? PS---Boston accents are different from NY accents. For whatever reason a lot of actors don't understand or care about that but seeing as how it was filmed in LA I shouldn't be surprised. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review bill t Fairly dopey retelling of the Boston Strangler story, with David Faustino (yes, Bud from Married With Children) as Albert De Salvo. Faustino joins a lot of bad acting thesbians from the Bad Accents School of acting as they chew through the script. If you want the best Di Salvo story (even though it's not the most accurate) stick with the Tony Curtis version. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member a good movie about the boston strangler murders, and albert de salvo that goes out it's way to prove that he wasent the boston strangler, and that is the closest to the truth than any of the other movies based on it was. he wasent the boston strangler, everybody knows that now, but this movie covers it well, and it is well made, there are a couple of shocking moments, but anybody expecting a bloodbath will be dissopionted, this is a movie about caracters, and its a good one, but its nothing amazing, worth a watch though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Another ok serial killer film. one of many by the same mediocre director. but hey ,it is good to see David Faustino "Bud Bundy" do something again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
