The Riverman
This movie disappointed me. It stated out great but somewhere alog the way they seem to have forgotten that the movie was about the Green River Killer and not yet another Ted Bundy movie.
Elwes did a good job as Bundy, he had the no blink stare down and he obviously spent time watching Bundy because he had the whole facial/body movement thing going on. But the movie was supposed to be about a different serial killer who killed even more than ole Ted did.
The whole end of the movie was Bundy, it was like they did a quick PS at the end of the movie; by the way, Gary Ridgeway did in fact turn out to be the GRK, thank you for watching. What the hell?
It wasn't a bad movie but it just wasn't what I was hoping for. The GRK is a fascinating case and maybe one of these days they'll do a full movie on him and how he got past the police for so long.
I'd give it a 7 for entertainment quality value but a 5 for GRK information.
