Simply Perfect

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A washed-up freelance journalist stumbles upon a serial killer in his city. When the killer finds out that a journalist knows about him, instead of killing the journalist, the killer asks to be interviewed. This premise is an interesting one, though not really original (check out the Kurt Russel movie "The Mean Season"). It could have worked again here, but the end results are pretty poor. None of the characters seem to be very interesting, even the serial killer. In fact, all the characters in the movie make some really stupid decisions when common sense would have quickly ended this story. The movie moves at a snail's pace because there's simply not enough story here. Don't get me wrong - I like a lot of low budget B movies, but this one is so poorly made that even I can't forgive its shortcomings.

I got this movie mainly because Arnold Vosloo was in it and I wanted to see him in something other than a loin cloth for a change. I certainly wasn't disappointed in his performance in this. He really seemed to put himself in this role to chilling effect.**************Spoiler Warning******************* (Hope I don't give too much away)A writer (Busey) is attempting to get through a dry spell by researching a particular subculture and stumbles across an interesting case subject (Vosloo). It's only after following him that the writer finds out he might have gotten in for more than he bargained for. It's a race against time and patience as the writer seeks both the story and 'the right thing'.**************End Spoilers*******************It may not be the 'thriller of the decade' but it is pretty decent. The plot was reasonably good, the villain chilling and credible. It's something you might expect to see on a Saturday Afternoon Horror movie feature nowadays. It's certainly worth renting and I bought it mainly because I like such movies.

Well what can i say about a movie with so many cliches. I bought ex-rental video because i collect Michael Madsen films. When i watched it i was very dissapointed with the acting. Especially Gary Busey was so terrible. Michael's performance wasn't too good either. The only actor that did surprise me was Arnold Vosloo(also known from"the mummy"). He plays a very disturbed man who has it in for brunettes. Unfortunately for Vosloo, the storyline is so predictable and boring. In another serialkiller movie who could have been very special. I expect that Arnold Vosloo could appear in similar films, hopefully with a better script.

I thought this was going to be a somewhat decent film about a serial killer and how his/her mind works....YAWN! I couldn't even finish watching the film. It's hard to believe that Gary Busey once was nominated for an Oscar. Now he's doing this garbage.
