How can anyone make a dull movie about one of the most notorious serial killers in the world?!
'Dahmer' totally lost me. I couldn't tell what writer/director David
Jacobson was aiming for (I'm not even sure if HE knew by the looks of it!), and I was frankly bored after about half an hour. How anyone could make a dull movie about Jeffrey Dahmer baffles me, but Jacobson has managed it. Watching the movie all the way to the end was a bit of a chore, and that was despite a decent performance by Jeremy Renner as Dahmer. I couldn't help but compare 'Dahmer' to Matthew Bright's recent 'Ted Bundy', and Shohei Imamura's 'Vengeance Is Mine', which despite being made in the 1970s I only managed to watch (twice) a few weeks ago. Both movies were fresh in my mind and both are MUCH more interesting and disturbing than 'Dahmer'. I think there is still a great movie to be made about Jeffrey Dahmer, but this certainly isn't it. It's by no means a complete turkey, but it's very mediocre. I watched it about two weeks ago and I can hardly remember a thing about it - not a good sign!. ddxpuddin watch She Hate Me movie

The Town: it was ok. Rebecca Hall was boring, Ben Affleck was ok. Jon Hamm yawn. Blake Lively was surprisingly ok. Jeremy Renner as always great. He's a very good actor and very convincing.
The Last King of Scotland: Loved it. Intense and powerful. James McAvoy was awesome. I don't know why he didn't win an Oscar. Forrest Whittacker was good but I thought James McAvoy was the main character..

How crazy this guy was!! Left me with an eerie feeling. .
I liked this movie and would suggested it only for a mature audience. I
liked it because it focused intensely on the psychology of Jeffrey Dahmer- and less the grotesque/hollywood gore-although it wasn't avoided completely becasue it was part of his character. I think the actor who portrayed him (Jeremy Renner) did an unbelievable job of creating layers and inner conflict that we see on the screen which is pulling him apart. I came away from this movie with a different point of view than what I would have expected regular media to portray. Jeffrey Dahmer was a person who tapped into too much of his innder Id, and almost out of his own grasp, could not control what he did, and could not stop himself.. |
