Excellent!

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2009)

This a top-notch crime thriller, and the best part about it is that it is true, which makes it even more compelling. I have studied this case somewhat extensively, and I was pleased to see how close the screenplay followed the book and the factual events as they occurred. There isn't a bunch of Hollywood "fluff" to try to add irrelevant entertainment or tricky plot lines in order to keep the viewer hooked. It was a long movie, but it didn't feel like it. In fact, I didn't want it to end, because I wanted to see if perhaps there were any recent developments that I was not aware of that were added to the story. The script was fast moving and the performances were great from the entire cast. Robert Downey was awesome, and I am so happy that he got himself together over the past few years and has made a great comeback. He is definitely one of this country's most gifted and talented actors. If you like true crime, don't miss this!!!
