STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits

The amazing true story of a reclusive Manchester teenager with a patchy family life who came to life on a chat-room. Here, he met a mystery girl he fell in love with, a gay stalker who threatened to kill her if he didn't comply with some demands and, eventually, most preposterously of all, a female intelligence agent by the name of Linda Dobinson who allured him to perform the most terrifying act of all. The end outcome of the story will blow you away with it's sheer incredulity.

Kill Me If You Can starts as it means to go on. To get the viewer initially interested, it opens the voice-overed story in a gripping fashion with the possibility of more interesting events to develop. Indeed, we are told how 'this couldn't have been dreamt up by a science fiction writer' and how it was a case 'that was unlike any other in British history before it and it will blow you away.' And in this respect, that is very true. The story gets more and more interesting as it rolls on, and is all the more mind-blowing simply because it is true, depicting a young man lost in his own little world so cut off from the reality of people and the world around him that he is gullible enough to believe a story anyone with a real understanding of people and with all their marbles still rolling around in the right place would know to be nonsense from the off-set. The presentation of the film helps it, with a neat use of the camera and the filming style, with an okay sound-track to boot.

This can be described as nothing other than simply an amazing depiction of a real life event and a shattering indictment of the power and sway internet chat-rooms can hold over the minds of some socially dis-associated youngsters of today. Incredible. ****

This is the story of an internet relationship which had an astonishing outcome, it was well acted and the outcome is truly shocking, everyone was talking about it the day after it was on and I held my staff spellbound while I told them what happened. If you get the chance watch it - you will never forget it - it will make you realise how much of a person is hidden deep inside and how the most innocent and friendly person has hidden depths. The original people who handled the real story spoke about it and how amazing it was for them - never has this been found in a court of law before. Because it was internet based it was quite difficult to have much on the screen, however because what you were hearing was so shattering you really didn't worry about what you were watching. What you were hearing was so extraordinary I recommend this to everyone - a terrific documentary well handled and acted
