Acting....As Good As It Gets.......

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2004)

Brilliant drama with an excellent script, direction and acting, deserving top marks. The lead actress is stunning in her performance.The story is based on a true life event of a street prostitute who goes on a killing spree. The reasons for that and her relationships in the film are riveting throughout. Now of course the real life events and persons are highly likely different from how the movie portrays them and the film gives a wholly sympathetic slant to the side of the killer. My brief research however on the killer is that she was an abused child and adult, she was likely mentally ill, and was undeserving the fate she ultimately received.
