Ted Bundy - No Man of God

This film depicts human interaction between two unlikely people. Instead of treating him badly or having any presuppositions regarding the interviewee, the agent manages to be a person who is really there to listen. It is a refreshing change of perspective.

I didn't watch any of the early films on Ted Bundy; so I can't tell if this movie has anything further to offer or not! But I can definitely tell that this Amber Sealey directorial is a serious & authentic take on the famous serial killing case by Bundy.

To be precise, this movie is hardly about Bundy's charismatic crimes or the trial process; actually it's about his unusual relationship with FBI Special Agent Bill Hagmaier in his final days before execution. I find this perspective of storytelling convincing enough to try once & I can say that this is a decent work.

A solid two men performance from Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby, an eerie score & an engaging enough screenplay made No Man of God a gripping watch. The movie didn't require many gruesome crime flashbacks as some dialogues were so well written & powerful that it gave a more prominent visual. I found some moments exceptional; especially that tv interview scene & when we can see the amalgamation between Ted & Hagmaier's character. Overall No Man of God deserves your attention for some real good reasons.

I think the main actors did a really good job, especially the Ted Bundy look-a-like. However the movie plot is somewhat weak and lacking the crescendo it was building up for.

All in all it was worth a watch for sure - but I'll probably not ever watch it again.

While we've seen quite a bit of Tewd Bundy in the last few years, "No Man of God" does offer an interesting take on his story.

Playing out more like a very intimate stage play, there is not much action to be had. It's mostly dialogue scenes.

Luckily the acting is pretty strong, especially Luke Kirby, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Ted Bundy in terms of look and mannerism.

I quite enjoyed this film, though it might be a bit too uneventful for some.

Bundy's story has been told. This was good. Different.
