American Murderer

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.

"American Murderer" is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the life of a notorious serial killer. Directed by Matthew Gentile , the film offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the mind of a murderer.

The cinematography is superb, with each scene capturing the intense and haunting atmosphere of the film. The music adds to the suspense and contributes to the overall tense feeling of the movie. The sound design is also noteworthy, with the use of subtle sounds to increase the tension in key scenes.

The acting is nothing short of excellent, with the lead actor delivering a standout performance as the murderer. Their portrayal of the killer is haunting and chilling, bringing the character to life in a way that is both believable and unnerving. The supporting cast is also strong, each delivering standout performances that add depth to the film.

What sets "American Murderer" apart from other films in the genre is its focus on the psychological aspect of the murderer's mind. The film explores the motivations and triggers that led to the killer's actions, and raises important questions about the nature of evil. The film takes a non-judgmental approach, instead allowing the audience to form their own opinions about the murderer.

The film also touches upon the criminal justice system, and raises questions about the reliability of eyewitness testimony and the limitations of the criminal profiling techniques used to catch serial killers. The film's exploration of these themes is thought-provoking and adds an extra layer of depth to the film.

Despite its heavy subject matter, the film is well-paced, with a tight screenplay that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The film is not for the faint of heart, as it deals with disturbing and graphic subject matter. However, it's important to note that the film handles these scenes with sensitivity, and never glorifies or sensationalizes the violence.

In conclusion, "American Murderer" is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and true crime stories. The film is well-crafted and intense, with excellent cinematography, music, sound design, and acting. The film raises important questions about the nature of evil and the criminal justice system, and offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the mind of a murderer.

Don't believe the low ratings - Overall, I would give "American Murderer" 7 stars out of 10.

Cheers.

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.

There's a conman name of Jason has some debt, quite an irritating soul you won't forget, perpetually he lies, then denies, denies, denies, not sure he's ever done a thing, that he regrets. Some people do believe the things he says, then he sucks what he can get and makes them pay, but he's living borrowed time, he needs to make more than a dime, before he's turned into a figurative fillet.

It's not the most engaging tale of a con artist who digs himself a hole and keeps on digging. Based on true events, you'd like to think that if you were Jason Derek Brown you'd have a bit more of an impressive made for TV film than this to reflect your life - Catch Me If You Can it is not.
