Could've been great. The story has potential. Unfortunately, they took all the wrong steps and the film got dragged down. KITSCHY & SHALLOW

Cool time period. Interesting subject. Poorly executed and easily forgettable.

A boring snore fest. Watch Zodiac instead.

Some decent moments, lots of style in the presentation, but overall too long and slow moving.

Wow, what a black, evil case to make an adaptation of? Just about gripped the news & media for absolute decades! Then AHS told a diff' tale!

Erratic at most times and easy looses your interest. Pity because it could have been a great film.

De Palma’s film isn’t half bad. Could have used better leads. I like Josh, but Bogie he ain’t. Still, decent style & some good set pieces.

The ending was bad which keeps this from being great. Good tension, good performances, highly underrated movies.

Typical crime drama mystery. Not bad to catch on streaming.

Started out fine, then went off the rails, and not in a good way. Fails on all parameters, except the random, forced misogyny.
