Faking A Murderer

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

In this era of fake news and media propaganda and mass misinformation, this is so cliche and unwatchable. Spinal tap was funny. This is just two guys punking people and thinking that's funny.

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...

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 suspect the glowing reviews are fake... because those accounts have only reviewed one movie, this one. And boy oh boy, this is a smug trying-to-be-screwball ride of a movie. I couldn't finish it so you may not find this review helpful, but the two main actors were so irritating I had to bail with 20 min to go. Good luck to you.
