After having this movie be recommended highly by someone I respected, I settled in for the night to view it.
Yikes, what a tremendous disappointment.
This movie can only be enjoyed by people who have spent the last 20 years in a cave and missed out on the many better films that clearly inspired it. The premise is quite simple, A killer tapes his murders while discussing his motives and questioning his viewers. After listening to his smug delivery of grade 10 level psych theories you will start to wish another serial killer with their own film crew would meet up with him in a alley. Of course it does not help that he keeps making the same points over and over. What starts out as mildly interesting turns to annoying real fast.
If you read the premise and the film sounds good I recommend "Man bites dog" a much better version of this story. I guess if you watch this with very low expectations you can receive some enjoyment but I am afraid that this film falls very, very short of the challenging film that the premise promised.
