I have been always interested in crimes and the criminal world. I try to watch as many documentaries as I can about many aspects of real crime and investigations.

I watched this supposed to be documentary trying to learn more about one of the most unknown serial killers in the USA. I found the film appallingly disappointing.

It lacks empathy to the victims and the actual killer is barely mentioned.

The filmmaker spends most of the documentary trying to blame somebody else but the killer.

If somebody wants to learn about this serial killer don't waste your time watching this documentary. You will not learn almost anything about this killer or even worse, it does have any feeling towards his victims.

Difficult to watch, but excellent portrait of an era where denial was the best crime policy.

Some scenes are gruesome and disturbing, but crime, specially, serial crime is not glamorous.

Donnie Brasco could have been a great film, but casting Johnny Depp as a tough Sicilian American agent who goes undercover with mafiosi doesn't work. I know there is something called "acting" but it is impossible to believe for a minute that Johnny Depp could pass a delinquent and keep company with mafia characters for more than five minutes.

Pacino, plays, well, Pacino as usual and get the job done even if they portrait his character as a likable villain.

It is a pity, the story could have been better if the producer would have decided to pick someone who doesn't look like he has just been in a boy band. (Depp has done some good things later, but not this one).
