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.

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.

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.

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.

I saw this last night...and it was absolutely one of the best filmic surprises of the year for me! 🙂 Not only is it probably one of the most casually-grim character study films you'll ever watch (in a way that even supersedes movies like "Joker" and "Pearl" because it's based on a true story, and it's all deeply, indelibly grounded in reality), but it's also an amazingly-confident experiment in sprawling non-linear storytelling, attempting a timeline that not even Stephen Gaghan would dare, lol. In a lot of ways, it's like what would happen if Harmony Korine made a modern-day American spin on "La Dolce Vita"...and I'm so, so psyched that Matthew Gentile was able to achieve ALL of this for his very first full-length film with nothing but hard work and lots of persistence! 🙂 Deeply, deeply-inspirational stuff...
