Talent infested acting by Charlize Theron, Gap toothed story.

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2013)

Uhh.. When I think back to when I first watched this movie, and how much I loved it, and how many times I watched it, it makes me want to puke with regret. Never has a movie made me cry more than two times. In this unapologetic tear-jerker, I cried more than three times--and I meant every painful tear...and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Alas, as I exposed myself to the movie more and more, all the mistakes started to become visible, and with this discovery I saw that I actually found the movie quite disappointing. No, i'm not comparing it to the documentary because I know as well as everybody here that documentaries and Hollywood movies are not supposed to be the exact. Just...I wish their was more to it, more time to dive into their circumstances. It felt rushed and the script felt unbalanced at times.
Charlize Theron goes through a brutal transformation(gains 30 pounds, changes her accent, makes herself look unattractive) to play the tortured soul, Aileen Wurnos. And she gives a performance worthy of unhealthy amounts of adulation and it is because of her superb acting ability that I boo-hooed like a baby. Christina Richie does well in making me kinda hate her. The guy that broke Aileens murder cherry was chillingly realistic...I get chills just thinking about him..The rest of the cast provided filler. You know, watching it now, I laugh more than feel bad for Aileen. but not because I don't, I do, really. But there moments that are just so laughable that I can't help it. I do recommend a watch if you haven't already. It's a good movie, just needed more meat..
