      Audience Member Wes Bentley is a recovering junkie making 'documentaries' when he gets hooked up with a serial killer after catching his latest kill on cam. Killer and Bentley begin a twisted relationship of working together until the root of the killer's motivation is uncovered. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member REal nice Story and acting. pretty funny, fucked up and twisted. my main issue was it value of production. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A young film-maker catches a murder on film and blackmails the killer into starring in a true crime documentary. But in reality, who is directing who? This thriller is one of those movies that has it's ups and downs. Starting off with a quite a indie feel it is more of a study of the dynamics between the two lead characters and less about the action. As the movie progresses, the story begins to change and become more and more interesting and it makes the viewer wonder which of the two is really in control. This keeps progressing nicely and the introduction of the 'mothers' subplot is a nice touch. But as the movie reaches it's finale, it unfortunately becomes more and more predictable and begins to borrow bits from lots of other serial killer movies that you have seen before. The ending is actually a little bit over the top (compared to the gritty and underplayed feeling of the rest movie) and it ends without any real closure which is a bit of a disappointment. The main two protagonists are well played, with a special mention going to Mark Borkowski who gives a quite chilling performance as James, the serial killer. The gore is minimal but the few deaths have quite a raw feel, which is totally in keeping with the style of movie. All in all this would have been an excellent movie if the ending had not felt as cliched as it did, but is still worth a watch just to see how well a character based murderer can be played. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow... This movie was soooooo dull. The best actor in it doesn't even appear until the end. I was begging for it to sort itself out & get interesting. Shame the two main characters weren't killed by their heads being bashed together.
