Kemper

Only thing I have to say is after 10 minutes, I was slack jawed. If you have read any of the history of Ed Kemper and his crimes, you would know that only a REAL director with REAL actors and REAL money could give this tale justice and paint it the way it should be. Maybe it is just to difficult because of how horrifying the truth is or to horrifying to revisit. But all the same, this has no worth. Rent Predator.

After watching the first half hour seeing flip cellphones in 1973 which weren't invented yet as well as a laptop computer and gps tracking at FBI I knew this movie was going to be a lemon but couldnt the writers and directors realized these obvious errors, including the Mitzubishi SUV that never existex in 73 I mean come on the coffee shop was the only real 70s theme with the old cash register and parlor chairs and clock. Dont waste your time unless you want to pick apart the various bloopers from the supposed 70s depicted but all fro the 90s and now what a joke

When you see the name Kemper you would expect there to be some accuracy between his crimes and what this movie depicts. There's not. Kempers crimes were horrific there's no need to make up things. Fail. Epic, colossal fail.

Only for the most desperate true-crime buff, this TV movie-quality dramatization is about serial killer Ed Kemper and one certain cop's bond with him and his pursuit of him. Lame acting, worse dialogue (written by a former soft-core porn screenwriter), plot holes aplenty, and lackadaisical direction and editing. Many scenes are wide angle master-shots with no real framing, as the actors just meander on screen and recite their lines of dialogue. The plot is not very fact based considering it claims to be inspired by true events, it deviates from the facts of the case almost from square one. It seems like the screenwriters were not even familiar with the case when they wrote the screenplay. An interesting movie could have been made out of the story, but they did just about everything wrong here. And I did not know that people had laptop computers and cell phones with text messaging and photos in the 1970s?

I wish I hadn't wasted my time. The acting made me cringe, possibly the worst acting I've ever seen actually and the plot is fictional, it's not at all accurate.
