ShangLuda Admirable film.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
mrwax Well, I myself live about 30 minutes from DC, so i could really relate to the movie. i remember sitting there and shouting out "hey i remember this one, this one was the..." so and so. the movie in my opinion deserves about a 7, and thats higher than most people would rate it, but if you live in the DC Metropolitan area you can feel and appreciate it a little bit more.
mrfreeze0054 I really enjoyed this moviE. USA did a good job in renacting this horrific crime that took the lives of several people. It just shows that there are still many sick people in this world, but a lot of good hearted people that will do just about anything to see that they are brought to justice.
John Wilkes Booth I have seen many of the USA Network films and this retelling of the sniper attacks of last Autumn is their finest achievement to date.Charles Dutton is Chief Moose, he speaks slowly and determinately like the Montgomery County Sheriff did in the traumatic period of indiscriminate slaughter.Cold and at times searing photography rare to see in television movies lights the work with strong actors and unpleasant violence that does not trivialize the viciousness of the crimes as many films have. Although the story follows much in line of Dirty Harry and Scorpio's murder-extortion scheme, it is far more insidious to know that this was a real event that did grip the country more than the 24-hour news channels could possibly convey. This film is able to transcend the fear-mongering and become a reflection of the real world as much as Leibniz's monads. If you haven't figured it out this film worked for me.
jdcbomb This movie was definitely made too soon, especially since the trial of the two suspects is going on right now (messing up the jury pool???). Also, we have NO idea which parts of the movie were fictionalized, dramatized, or whatever. But, it WAS very well acted and Charles Dutton did a good job portraying Chief Moose. And the movie definitely reminds me of the horror of that time. You do sit there and cringe at every killing that is committed, feel angry at Malvo and Muhammed, feel frustrated with the investigation missteps, and the relief of the two being captured. But they really should have waited like a few years AFTER the convictions in court to make this movie.
