Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times This is a B-movie through and through, but thanks in large part to a deep cast of familiar faces and reliable character actors, it's a solid crime thriller that respects the true-life blueprint of the story. Rated: 3/4 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety This trashy trawl through a fictionalized version of the “West Mesa Murders" is the kind of dubiously moralizing exploitation exercise that makes Sound of Freedom look like a noble class act by comparison. Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Andy Klein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's interesting, but you have to know going in that the basic case was never solved, and they stay true to that. Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture The culprit behind these murders has still never been found, which this screenplay mostly uses as fodder for a bit of psycho-thriller exploitation. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Turning a true-life serial killer case into a collection of cliches and contrivances, this derivative thriller never musters much suspense or sympathy for its characters — whether alive or dead. Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Anemic, tedious and shallow. Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

David M Very good story. Kept our interest. Worth seeing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Adrian M The film confused me going back and forth it was just werd not best film I see with Mel Gibson overall it was OK. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Ely A middle school film project at best. The dialogue you can actually make out through the way too heavy “background” music is … well…lame. At least the movie doesn’t pretend to know who committed the West Mesa murders like some in the real world of this tragedy… and that’s why I gave it a star. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Marcus A The story here is true and interesting, obviously done on a low budget they did a good job. Some of the acting is questionable, Mel is good as always, wish they told more of the story about the killer and less about the cops, alot of potential here. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review John H A good, but tragic story. The ending was surprising, and the cast was up and down. Mel Gibson was outstanding as always! Interesting movie, but just average. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Tony B It just wasn't that good of a movie and didn't like the way it was filmed either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
