Not gonna ramble on too much except to meet the mandatory word count. I thought this was a solid psychological sci-fi that was worth the watch. A simple movie and set with a story that isnt 100% original but delivers in a unique and respectable way. Affleck is solid. Fishburne is very watchable. Zoe is captivating. I found the movie a touch long. The pacing could probably be a bit better although I dont mind a slow burn. If they shaved 15 minutes off this movie, the average review rating would likely be higher. I'm giving it an 8 because I cant give it a 7.5 so I'm rounding up. Thanks for reading. Peace.

The Speedway Murders is a gripping and well-researched true crime documentary that masterfully explores the chilling 1978 Burger Chef murders. With a balanced mix of archival footage, expert interviews, and dramatic reenactments, the film keeps viewers engaged while shedding light on a decades-old mystery. The pacing is strong, building suspense without feeling exploitative, and the storytelling remains respectful to the victims. While some questions remain unanswered, the documentary does an excellent job of presenting the case and possible theories. A must-watch for true crime fans. 9/10 and god bless the victims and their families.
