Woman of Character, NOT!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2006)

This movie was one that was very difficult to watch, however, if you are interested in seeing an authentic story about one of America's only documented female serial killers, this is the one that will be true to the story. Eileen Wuornos was not a woman that anyone would envy, but Charlize Theron is absolutely amazing her portrayal of this woman. Don't expect a cheesy "bad girl" because you will see the real thing. She takes the character and makes you almost understand "why" Eileen is as bad as she is, only to the point that you "get it." She was executed in 2002, and rightfully so, but Charlize brings so much to this woman's character to life that she almost makes you feel sorry for her....But not really. You see why she was executed and you want to jump on the screen and wish you could really stop her and say, "What the ....is wrong with you?" People can have cruel upbringings and choose the wrong decisions, however, Eileen chooses otherwise. Charlize earned the Oscar for this portrayal and rightfully so. Enjoy.
