Mind-Blowing!

Rating: 8/10 (1 July 2010)

'Monster' is a riveting true-story, Based on the life and death serial killer Aileen Wuornos, a former prostitute who was executed in 2002 for killing seven men in the late 1980s and early 1990's, comes a film that gives in too soon.
'Monster' is a mind-blowing watch... Patty Jenkins executes a difficult, disturbing biopic with enthusiasm. As a writer, he writes each dialog from the gallery, thus, making each word sound brash. In terms of direction, he creates the fear/frustration and love in you for Aileen and Selby. Some true-stories leave you haunted, 'Monster' is one of those haunted and memorable films! A special mention to Steven Bernstein's eye-catching Cinematography!
'Monster' is a winner due to 1 more major reason, Charlize Theron. What Charlize Theron achieves in her performance as Aileen Wuornos, is what an actor lives to be. To put it simply - The Sexiest Woman becomes The Ugliest Woman. As far as Christina Ricci, she's pitted against Theron, and leaves no impact whatsoever!
'Monster' is a must watch. It's amongst the best films of of the decade gone-by. This film has already gone down in History, due to... Charlize Theron's earth-shaking performance! Two Big Thumbs Up!
