I wanted to but couldn't!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
trying to get movie but it has not been shown on TV in years and amazon .com has it for sale for 9 bucks but i have read complaints on site of disc not working in most DVD players.it is dumb that they would sell a DVD that does not play that is just stealing money from customers.can you see why it has not been on TV in so long.
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.
The whole purpose of a documentary is to provide additional information rather than just the actual events. Everything displayed in this movie was widely available through media sources. We all knew the facts of this case. Especially those of us in relative close proximity of the crimes. What the movie fails to offer is any kind of insight as to why these 2 people committed these awful crimes. Why not? BECAUSE IT HASN'T GONE TO TRIAL YET!! Perhaps after the trial, we'll have a better idea as to why these 2 did this. But to release a movie like this before the trial is very irresponsible. It's already hard enough to find a jury for a fair trial. Now they come out with a movie depicting the actual events while jury selection is going on! Ridiculous, irresponsible, and greedy, USA Network should be ashamed for showing this trash.I think that USA Network just gave the defense lawyers great ammunition for declaring a mistrial once the trial actually begins. I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen.
it is a chilling, graphic representation of the beltway snipers. maybe this movie was released to quick and it was too soon for some, but it shows that the nation can prevail over 2 ass holes who thought they were GOD. for a made for tv movie, this isnt bad at all. charles s. dutton is heartbreaking and strong in his role and the movie will creep you out. the made-for-tv event of the year! 7/10 or 3/4 stars
