    A wild ride

    'Faking a Murderer' is a wacky little movie. I had only seen the poster before going in, so I was expecting basically a straight up horror, or at least a "found footage' style film leading up to the horror at the end. It was certainly more like the former of those, however if anything I think the correct classification for this film would be comedy. It is a very funny movie in parts.

    This is about as unpredictable as films ever come. I really had no idea where they were headed with this, or even what was likely to happen next. I love that in a film. There is a decent fright or two thrown into the mix as well. One minute you're laughing, the next you're getting a heart jolt. It's a wild ride.

    This is one of those films where if you don't "get it" or it simply isn't your style of humour then you're likely not going to have a good time. I think most people will though and for that reason I would recommend giving it a chance. 7/10.

    *Sigh*

    The first hour annoyed the hell out of me. I didn't like the two leads, thought they were immature and annoying. They just always looked so pleased with themselves.

    At first I thought it was a documentary because some of the lesser characters, such as the people in the diner, were very natural and realistic. (and I don't like to read too much about a film before I watch it). But the dude who plays the private eye they hire?!?! Jeez, where did they get him from? When he turns up its obvious it's not real as his acting is so bad. Once there is the big confrontation, it improved and was quite fun, and that's what got it an extra 3 stars from me.

    i failed to be amused

    Standard mockumentary, overall not unpleasant but with no highlights. Many more movies are worth of your time.

    Stupid boring upvoted by friends

    Obviously all the high ratings are friends of/or cast and the movie is boring trash. You're welcome for the time I saved you after watching the entire film...

    • Trivia
      Adam and Stu are really brothers in law and are both 5'7", hence the name of their production company, 5'7Films.
    • Goofs
      The movie itself is extremely meta. In a scene where Glenn meets Adam and Stu inside his home, an adjustment of the lav mic is needed. The actual sound man walked into frame and adjusted it himself. It was so ridiculous and funny that it made the final cut.
