Wonderful character development!

Brilliant and touching

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono were two cousins who were convicted of the rape, torture and murder of 10 females of various ages in LA 1977/78. This film is an interpretation of their reign of terror.Unpleasant. If you are going to do a serial killer movie, one based on real life perpetrators, then you surely have to make the characterisations of fascination value away from their despicable crimes. Unfortunately director Chuck Parello and co-writer Stephen Johnston fail to do this, leaving the film with a paucity of worthwhile human story moments. It's not helped by the fact Nicholas Torturro as Buono is badly miscast, he's just impossible to take serious in a role that calls for the ultimate seriousness.On the plus side, C. Thomas Howell as Bianchi hits the right notes. Howell is something of an undervalued actor in dark roles, as far back as 1990 where he played a vengeful killer in a film called Kid, he's been doing good moody work in thrillers. Elsewhere John Pirozzi's cinematography is on the money, keeping the murky tones of the film in harness, while Gregg Gibbs' production design has all the late 1970s requisites. 5/10

This is without a doubt on of the most ridiculously funny films I've seen in a long time. This is one of the most quotable films ever with lines like, "How you like it I hack off your arms and legs and stick a live rat up your snatch?" The graphic violence and rape scenes mix so well with the insanely funny lines and acting. There were several moments where I had to pause the film and wait till I stopped laughing so I wouldn't miss the film. The scene where the protagonist kills and rapes a black hooker in the back seat of a car while his Joe Pesci wanna-be cousin cheers him on from the front is to die for! A must see if you want a good laugh.

This movie was great that filmmakers really got the vibe of the 2 psychos who did the crimes and i learned a lot. The murder scenes are hard to watch but necessary for the movie. Watch it if you can handle it! The film starts slow with a good character build up and it also is telling me the psychological factors involved with what they did. It This movie has the same vibe as BUNDY with a deep delving into the psychosis of the murders. This movie did a lot of good to me as i am studying modern true crime and i used this movie for my reference. It made me feel sorry for the c Thomas Howell character because i fell he would have been nicer.

Well, I have NOT seen this film. Reading about it and seeing the trailer, WHY would I want to? Did you see this Brit guy's comments on it? "Mint"? Who is this made for? The sexual sadist murderer in all of us? While it is open to argument whether the "depiction of real-life events" is ever helpful in preventing the behavior in the future(ala Schindler's List), this is obviously pure exploitation. Indeed, I agree with one comment that the people involved with this production should be ashamed. To put out a 100% stupid comedy or melodrama is one thing. So it makes money and entertains someone somewhere. But this? To make money off those murders? To "entertain" vicariously through murderers? THE goofiest comedy ever might give someone a laugh. HOW does THIS enliven anyone's life in the least? There is no place for this kind of production to hide behind, no artistic or business justification. Only for it to return to the rock from which it crawled out from under(no offense intended to small crawling things that live under rocks), just like the scum murderers it depicts.
