Kyle M Sep 22 Questionable focus if it doesn’t transcend another mere portrayal of the subject, but nonetheless gradually chills in a grip so empathetically directed and deeply embodied that turns the case into an observative study based upon the authentic materials. Kirby searches for a soul within his schematic performance, while Wood naturally performed with cautious wonder and urgency. (B) See more Ian S Jul 2 Well acted and a less sensational take on the Bundy murders. Similar to the Mindhunter series in that most of the film takes place in an interview room. Kirby's portrayal of Bundy is probably the best so far. See more Azra T Jun 16 Luke Kirby as Ted Bundy really scared me. What a performance. See more bob c May 29 The subject is compelling yet under-utilised. Except for Kirby who is outstanding as Bundy. The rest is just picture frame. See more Kevin P Jan 26 A gripping investigative crime drama about the FBI’s attempts to understand Ted Bundy and to convince him to confess so that they can find at least some answers and clarity for the families of his countless victims. It really challenges the protagonist to get down to the same level of Ted Bundy in order to really understand him. To genuinely befriend him in order to get to the truth, but at the cost of becoming intimate with such a heinous person who’s made so many others suffer a cruel fate. Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby both give amazing performances while sharing great chemistry together as they tie the whole movie together with their bizarre relationship. It’s a breath of fresh air that this movie tries to stick close to the facts of Ted Bundy’s investigative manuscripts while also condemning the infatuation and near-deifying that the media and general public have smothered Ted Bundy with back then and even to this day. It rips away the sugar coat and presses the notion that Ted Bundy committing these atrocities out of his own free will and not some melodramatic emotional crutch. Grated the film does toss around the “executing serial killers makes you also a murderer” bs, but luckily this is partially shut down with a very cathartic scolding from Elijah Wood’s character after he’s had enough of Ted Bundy’s self-pitying amidst the dawn of his execution. It’s a nice pace changer, right when I thought the movie was getting a little too soft on the sympathy side for Ted f**king Bundy. Overall, it’s a very engaging detective thriller and one of the most underrated gems of 2021.
