For the story line the film has, its very badly written, directed and acted. Were talking about a movie trying to show the manipulation of a young mind and a killer out for revenge on any random person just for the hell of it. Someone who wants people to suffer as a consequence of his situation. Not at any point in the film do we see a big transformation in the character, we don't really see a manipulation phase or an insight into the mind of the killer. Its not gripping, its not mind blowing , it doesn't have any emotion. The killings themselves are poorly shot, they aren't gruesome, in fact we don't even see most of them and we never feel sorry for the character who dies, we don't get offered a clip of them before their death to give us any sympathy for them, there's just no feeling, emotion or tension in the film. I was expecting at least some tension during the murders, like close calls, cold hearted comments but there's nothing. The scene where they get caught at the end is also worthless again with no tension and then we see them locked up and it ends, its a poor film.The story was there for them, all they had to do was add some tension, emotion and create a dark , overwhelming manipulating character . We don't get any of that, this film was a disaster.

This is a purely fictional account of what really happened. the movie is slow and boring and inaccurate. It seems to be made to draw sympathy to 2 killers who deserve no sympathy. Very little is shown of the actual killing, it is all about leading up to the actual killing event.I saw another movie which had them shooting thru a tail light that was removable, and caught by 2 detectives who tracked down the car. In this one they cut a hole in the trunk, and were caught sleeping in the car. This movie downplays the actual crimes and the intent and motivations, which makes it a bogus film.Someone should make a accurate movie of this event, to offset crap films like this one.

"It could be anybody. Anybody could have done it and if it could be anybody then we're invisible." Lee (Richmond) is a young boy who is lost in the world with no real direction or family. John (Washington) finds him and begins to talk to him about the problems in his world. After describing the wrongs that have been done to him Lee decides to help by killing an innocent woman. After "getting away with it" John decides to up the stakes in order to cause chaos. The two begin their random killing spree. We know these two as the 2002 Washington D.C. Beltway snipers. This is a good movie but very disturbing. Not disturbing in a horror movie way but in a more realistic way. We see how easy Lee was manipulated by John and how neither of them seemed to show any remorse for their actions. The most disturbing thing to me about this though is that the killings seemed absolutely senseless. Targets were picked based solely on if they could be seen through the hole in the trunk. This is a hard movie to watch because of the subject matter but if you can handle it it is worth seeing. Overall, disturbing character study that doesn't do anything to glorify or make you feel sorry for the murderers, which is a good thing. I give it a B+
