+:
- Zac Efron is great. Maybe not his best acting so far. But very much a joy to watch.
- Kaya Scodelario. Always a solid job. No surprises here.
- Overall, a very enjoyable movie. Short-lived, well edited and easily digestible.
-:
- Lily Collins and Joel Osment. Not their best. Collins is borderline annoying.
- How the production of this movie makes the same exact mistakes the media did in the late 70s.
Maybe not glorifying but definitely excusing some actions. Deliberately casting Efron, not showing the degree of any of his crimes (just mentioning), the insane "artistic liberties" this movie takes and the story's focus around Bundy himself. If I was a victim's family member, I'd say: "Not cool."
- Lack of subtlety. Not really a candidate for best screenplay.
- On the topic of screenplay, clunky dialogue.
Overall:
Reviewing the scenes individually, this movie is kind of boring. But put together (again, credits to editing), it's quite entertaining.
Forgettable, though. But does it's job.
But please, maybe less serial killer flicks in the future (looking at you, Netflix) and shine some light on the victims instead.
6/10.
