American Murderer

If your looking for decent acting, no action and an overall mediocre experience this is for you. And what further more stinks to say is, it had potential and manage to mess it up every single time.

First of all with a storyline like this, you have to be very careful and give the main character a heart. There was never at ANY point of this film that I cared about ((Jason)). There was also a lack luster effort to show case the lives of people Jason hurt.

Yes, this is based on s true story, but come on now we could change things around a little bit . Overall it gets a C+ for trying. But there are far better true crime stories.

I love podcasts! Especially crime ones. Loved the podcast and had to watch the movie.

The producer did a fantastic job and this is his first film. I can't wait to see what else he creates. Podcast is on the Murder Sheet.

I thought the movie was very factual after listening to the podcast. Definitely see his narcissistic, almost bi-polar personality and why he did what he did. How he has disappeared and has never been caught is a mystery. I believe he is in another country where he is probably dead in the dessert or mountains somewhere.

It's definitely worth the watch and do some research on him.

A fast-paced, exciting thriller that manages to tap into the inner workings of a complicated, nuanced character and his journey to offer a ride that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The directing is brilliant-- it's shot beautifully and newcomer Gentile gets incredible performances from his entire cast, particularly Tom Pelphrey, who's absolutely mind blowingly good. Not to mention stellar cinematography, a pitch-perfect score, and fantastic guest performances from an amazing cast overall including Jacki Weaver and Idina Menzel. I never would have known this was director Gentile's first film if I hadn't read it online-- truly an incredible first effort and a wonderful ride all around!

No idea why this film is getting 10's and 2's.

It's based on a true story so if the whole most-wanted thing bugs you, it's the truth ... that accolade does seem a bit bizarre all things considered but there you go, brutal what he did but given who he was sharing that list with !

Any i digress ... Well acted for the most part, decent script, and direction kept me interested the whole way through which is a lot more than be said for most movies these days - have no idea why it's scoring sub 5 at this point in time.

Def worth a watch, if you want a well put together crime / drama ... if guns blazing and car chases is your thing, it won't fill that buzz.

I don't know where these positive reviews are coming from. This movie was a major snooze fest. It contained the most obnoxious actors in the history of Hollywood. For a character that was supposed to be charismatic, the lead actor came off more of a precocious jerk than anything. I honestly don't know how Ryan Phillippe keeps getting acting roles either. He is so wooden and one dimensional. Put both of them together and you have a recipe for pure crap. This movie was pure crap. There was nothing memorable, remarkable or good about this movie. The writers, producers and actors all should be on the FBI's Top 10 list for boring people to death.
