tmdarby I'm a true crime buff and almost cringe at the thought of a movie based on someone like Dahmer. Number 1 because they don't deserve it, and number 2 because movie makers tend to mess them up. Not so in this case. I know the case fairly well and can tell you that this movie is fairly accurate. The few artistic type liberties taken were very well done and make sense in the context. The best part of this is Jeremy Renner's portrayal of Dahmer. Wow, what an amazing actor. I had no idea. The accent, the movement, the phrasing, all sound exactly like every interview of Dahmer I've seen. Just a terrific job on Renner's part. All in all I recommend watching a documentary on this case if you're interested in the true story, but then you'd miss Renner's brilliance in this one.
notright84 I have done quite a bit of research on Jeffery Dahmer and I must admit I am fascinated by him. I came into this movie with an open mind and realizing that maybe in an effort to make the movie more watchable they they couldn't show every detail but I wasn't expecting to see a Disney version of Mr. Dahmer's life.First of all almost no detail of the actually murders was shown and that is important as the method of murder is a great incite into the mind of a serial killer. Second it failed to show any part of Jeffrey's childhood for example him slicing up a fish that he had caught in front of his friends or the fact that he as an outcast at school and vied for attention, or his struggle with his homosexuality. All crucial aspects to this killers' mind.This movie is not good in any way shape or form
daworldismine i have read quite a few books on jeffrey dahmer, and he did some unspeakable things, and was a cannibal, I've seen some of the crime scene photos and they are rough stuff, yet if you watched this movie you would never believe it. first of all the movie is all over the place, and the timeline goes back and fourth, and while some things are quite accurate, for the most part this movie fails on all levels, its not a great drama, it's certainly not a horror movie, in life dahmer claimed the life of 17 victims, in this he kills about 2 or 3, don't get me wrong im not a gore monger, but if your going to do a biopic of the most notorious serial killer of alltime, show the truth. there was a much better version of this story made in 1993 called 'the secret life of jeffrey dahmer' it was very accurate, and mighty disturbing, showing dahmer's crimes for what they was, the movie was very controversial when it came out, due to it's no holds bared look at dahmers crimes, maybe that's why the makers of this 'dahmer' chose not to show all the murders, fair enough but to not even show or even hint that this was wrong and stupid, and the ending was very disappointing, and don't expect anything to do with his trail or prison or death, of all the true crime serial killer movies I've seen this is probably the worst and least accurate, never the less the actor who played dahmer was very good in the role. just a shame that he didn't have a better script to work with
benzed I saw this film a few years ago, The final scene showed Dahmer disemboweling one of his victims and having sex with the body. Just watched this again and that was no longer in the film. Doing a search shows this version seems to have disappeared with only a trace at amazon.co.uk Very unusual for there to be no record of this on IMDb or WikipediA. Made the film that much more disturbing. I wouldn't say that should be a deal-breaker because I would recommend this film for Renners portrayal and performance. I will say that the movie really let me down the second time viewing due to the total lack of gore that the UNCUT version provided.
