The Grim Sleeper

This film had so much potential. It has many very good actors and the plot itself was better than in many other serial killer films, but there are a lot of cringe worthy scenes where it takes you out of the story and gets you focused thinking on the film making, is it the bad script, was there not enough time to get in more scenes, directors inexperience, all of those things? The story deserved better. It is still definitely worth the watch. There is a certain lightness, that especially reporter Pelisek brings in, that is rare in a film with a dark subject as this and made it feel very different, but it does not take away the seriousness of the other scenes, it was very well balanced. Somehow reminds me of tv-series like ncis for example, combination of slight humour between co-workers while solving a grim murder case.
