Tony Scott Variety Lamely directed by Eric Till, whose actors often appear to wander about without understanding the real-life characters, To Catch a Killer rambles when it should rant. But crime will probably pay in the ratings. Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

C H A tremendously eerie film of a true psychotic killer. Dennehy's performance is the star of the show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Sean F I never wanted to sleep so badly in the middle of a movie! I am usually a nice critic and I like most films that are generally disliked by others, but this one, gosh, nice plot, but they stretch everything and do many stupid mistakes, SPOILERS - why did they send only 2 officers to arrest Dean??? Why only after these 2 officers died they sent 5+ more police units? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Steve D The performances save a script that feels like it dropped you in halfway through the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An epic show. Dennehy is so convincingly scary,. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review michael e Good performances all around. Well-crafted drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Brian Dennehy is superb. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
