Tries to protray the man as a pervert and a climate activist, absolute rubbish. Wouldn't waste my time on this propoganda. Just more historical distortion to fit the narrative of today. Try actually reading books before watching this awful representation.
By mr copley , delving and diving deep into the caracter of ted kazynski aka the una bomber. Its made on a dime or less budget, filmed a shot in almost authentic natural environment, and gives you a gawping inclusion of a frustrated lonely on the outer edge of sanity personal tragedy that led to 3 deaths and at least 22 injured people by sending death by mail.
If you hope that this is a documentary about mr ted, then look somewhere else, this is more the hypertheoretical human genious mastermonster and a reflection over his sturdy conviction of the industrialistic nations of the world, the greedy capitalistic systems that rots and damages our natural resources, polluting water and wrecks forests and landscapes for the thrill of a dollar earned. Its also a look into the madmans manifesto that became published in media as a try to stop the mailterror.
Its a well acted, filmed and edited story that will grab your intestines if youre a tree lover and environmentalist. But even though that the grumpy old man feels that they are just grasping the surface in order to be a biopic. Anyway its a film to watch due to brilliant acts of mr copley, a recommend.

I would recommend people read some of the NY Times, NY Magazine, ABC News pieces looking into Kaczynski's own writings and statements to friends. This would make it clear that the simplistic analysis in this film as well as many other shallow treatments of his views/rationalizations ignore the clear evidence that Kaczynski was an anarchist, climate activism terrorist, and if classifiable at all, would be far left.
This bizarre treatment him as some kind of incel is simply not fact based.

Great acting piece from Copley who carries the entire film on his own.
If anyone else was in the lead role this movie would be a 5.
The unabomber story is better told elsewhere but not as well acted.

I've previously watched the excellent series Manhunt: Unabomber so felt compelled to see this through. It's factual but very very slow and light on detail about Ted K's targets and focusses far too much on his backwoodsman lifestyle imo.
Nevertheless a fascinating story about the largest manhunt in FBI history even though we get to see very little of it.

- TriviaThe movie playing on the television in Ted's motel room at around 51:00 (as a voice over) is Repo Man (1984), specifically it's the scene wherein Emilio Estevez's character has first entered into the auto shop to collect his first fee as an unwitting repo man.
- GoofsThere is a moment in the 3rd act in which a voice-over suggests that the Unabomber might be envious of the media attention given to the Oklahoma City bombing, which happened in 1995. Later, the infamous O.J. Simpson Bronco chase is seen on a TV. The Bronco chase happened in 1994, but is presented as having happened after the OC bombing.
