another example of capitalizing on someone else's misfortune

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2004)

although theron's performance was remarkable, no actor could have rescued this script. i thought it would follow the facts of the case more closely and was very disappointed to find that it was more of an embellishment of the writer in an attempt to fill in gaps in Wournos' life which only Wournos herself would have known, and quite frankly I didn't see the point. It could have just as easily been one of those made for t.v. movies of the week rather than an in-depth look at the tragic life of one of the few women put to death for her crimes in this country and I felt was another example of someone capitalizing on someone else's misfortune.Two out of ten stars.
