Who Killed Cooper Dunn?

A solid thriller that does a good job keeping the audience guessing. Usually in these types of movies the viewer has a pretty good idea of the "guilty" party. This film departed from a standard formula and kept you guessing throughout with unpredictable twists and turns, where it could have easily followed the same formula often used in the genre, instead there was a creative effort to make it its own, unique version of a murder mystery.

Aside for the story, I really noticed the effort made to capture the remoteness of the location with lots of beautiful landscapes and moody camera work to perfectly accentuate and maintain the mood of the film.

Couple of things off the bat: beautiful scenic storytelling, engaging plot, and talented performances.

Who Killed Cooper Dunn? Is a gripping suspenseful film that will keep the viewer guessing until the last scene.

Aldi brings a masterful directing eye to the film that captivates and engages the viewer through the entirety of the piece. This, accompanied with a masterful cast, makes the film a delight to watch.

I'm looking forward to more from Aldi, and if his other films are like this one, I'm sure they will be a smash hit. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, as evidenced in this masterful piece of cinematography.

I saw what looked like Knife Lake while flipping through channels (I spent 8 days & nights last summer paddle boarding a 60-70 mile loop solo through the BWCA: fishing, catching some sun, watching Rick & Morty in a dry cozy tent in the pouring rain while hitting the vape pen 😀, etc. - just a great place - a black bear swam 30 feet in front of me crossing one of the lakes in a narrow channel); The movie - absolutely awful. I couldn't watch more than about ~30 minutes. Just dumb in pretty much every way; the plot is nonsensical and the acting is atrocious. The only redeeming thing about this movie is that its a valuable reminder that I'd rather be doing something outside. I gave it a free star because I love the BWCA, but don't waste your time on this.

I watched the first thirty minutes and then skipped to the end to see the solution. To anyone who sat through the entire movie, why? The writers apparently have a vocabulary of eighty words. Obscenties run rampant. In an attempt to make it real or gritty? The effect is to induce complete and utter boredom and disgust.

In addition to the awful dialogue and obnoxious, ridiculous characters, the "story" is nonexistent. Consisting of antics reflecting the fantasies of a fifteen-year-old boy; followed by actions which defy reality, logic, and any sort of common sense.

And for the twist at the end, the less said the better. I normally don't give one or two star since I caan usually find something redeemable but not in this one.

I did not expect the ending... completely took me by surprise. You must watch until the end!

The picture was gorgeous. The talent was incredible. I loved the sound track. The story felt very complete and satisfying. I honestly have watched it multiple times already because of how great it was. You have to add this film to your MUST watch list IMMEDIATELY!!!!

SO WORTH my time.

Paul Elia absolutely crushed this role. All the actors seemed to have an amazing chemistry.

Nino Aldi played Richie very well. I can't believe he not only co-stared but also wrote, produced, and directed. This is a filmmaker we all need to keep our eyes on. He is going to do incredible things!!!
