Superb acting for a sad story of how warped a person can be. Obviously a nut case.

This is one of my favorite serial killers. John Wayne Gaycy is one of the most evil serial killers who ever existed in my opinion and Brian Dennehy makes him Gacy look good. The story and acting is outstanding. To bad these kind of movies aren't made today, but this you don't want to miss so if you haven't seen "To catch a killer" already, please see it! It is hard to believe that Eric Till who directed this movie has also directed "Fraggle Rock" and "A Muppet Family Christmas". It's 2 different categories, but Eric did a great job directing "To catch a killer". I have always loved true stories about serial killers and this is absolutely one of the best movies, based on a true killer that I have ever seen. I would gladly give this 10/10, but probably because Brian does such a convincing job. I really wish there were new of these good old movies made. But today most of the movies are not all to good I am afraid. It was like watching "Dahmer" from 2002 after seeing "The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer" from 1993. It's really quite a difference. Anyway, do see "To catch a killer". It is really one of the best movies ever made.

In a fine made-for-TV effort, "To Catch A Killer" profiles notorious murderer John Wayne Gacy (played chillingly by Brian Dennehy), his mask of a respected public citizen, the awful secret he kept, and the relentless attempt to expose him. Dennehy's work with the supporting characters is darkly magical and the story reminds you that it's real with every chance. Highly recommended for fans of Dennehy and of good psychological thrillers.

This television film, which focuses on the police pursuit of John Wayne Gacy, is utterly engrossing. Sparing us the more grotesque details of Gacy's crimes, we are treated to the investigation and the frustrations of the police, who are trying to "catch" him. Brian Dennehey is always good, and, his performance in this film, is no exception. The cast is fine, throughout, and the direction is solid; but, it is Michael Riley, as Detective Joe Kozenczak, who owns the film. His role gives him most of the screen time, and his performance is completely compelling. A wonderful performance! Highly recommended.
