It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Absolutely loved this series. Can not wait for another season with another Manhunt of another felon.

The first episode of the series has some faults. There is some unnecessary jumping back and forth in time 95 and 97 that is confusing. Don't be put off by this as things get better from the second episode on. There are so many good points about this series. The pursuit is extremely exciting, the linguistic connection is fascinating, the behavior of the stubborn bosses and colleagues at the FBI is frustrating. The episode on the Unabomber's background and reason for insanity is quite shocking. There could have been more scenes of damage to victims and impact on their lives.Acting is good. Chris Noth is convincing as the FBI guy in charge of the investigation. Sam Worthington is the central character James Fitzgerald a profiler who got them in the right direction. He has got the underdog thing going and that's good. His diction isn't clear enough sometimes. Paul Bettany obviously lost weight for the role and he portrays the unique kind of craziness that the genius psychopath has very well. He gives a memorable performance that not many more familiar actors could have done well.The details of the story aren't that familiar to most and the case and court proceedings are quite different from other serial killers. Worth watching

Eh....I really don't know how much of this movie is true. How many people are amalgamations. Some of the people depicted, especially the FBI agents, they seem too much to be true, too much a caricature, too good to be true. Too much in general, it sort of leads you to believe that the only character that was real was the Unabomber himself.That being the case, it IS a series about catching the killer, and I've always believed that was the more interesting part of the serial killer movie fetish thing.The killers have it easy. They have 323 Million people to hide out in.The people that catch them, on the other hand, have it a lot harder, they literally have to find the needle in the haystack and, with a case like the Unabomber that haystack was the entire United States.So, they did do a very good job of conveying that little detail, and that alone is worth watching. And, they did it without the NCIS overly techno-babble take on crime fighting that, for the most part, is too expensive to use if it even exists.So, what you get to do is sit back and watch people solve a deadly serious puzzle. And the details of how they fit all the pieces together is displayed in an extremely believable way.My only problem, the only thing that made me give it 6 stars is that, yeah, most of the characters didn't seem real. But, that is easy to get beyond because, this series is all in the how, not in the who.

This was a pleasant surprise. Great straight-up effective storytelling that kept me watching in a few days as I found it hard to stop. The actor performances are more than adequate, especially those by Sam Worthington (Fitzgerald) and Paul Bettany (Ted Kaczynski). who both renders their characters convincingly with depth and heart.This piece avoids the typical pitfalls of standard fare criminal series and has the courage to portrait at least some aspects of the deeper story of the life of Ted Kaczynski without hiding his crimes.
