bob c The subject is compelling yet under-utilised. Except for Kirby who is outstanding as Bundy. The rest is just picture frame. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Kevin P 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Julian S While the film feels lacking in some way, Kirby’s interpretation of Bundy is impeccable. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Kal S Exploring the darker elements of human nature is a well-worn genre. But there’s nothing gratuitous about this film, and that’s what sets it apart. Like FBI agent Bill Hagmaier, who claims that he just wants ‘to understand’, the makers of this film seem perfectly sincere in their exploration of the nature of evil. The acting is faultless, the rest of the production very close to it—it’s hard to imagine a better handling of this subject. (31/1/2022) Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Paul B Slow paced, ponderous documentary-style movie. Two decent performances by Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby. A worthy watch but not gripping. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Bob Definitely looking forward to a sequel.
