The Real Review

This true-crime thriller about a journalist and detective exposing a charming serial killer mostly lands as a competent, if familiar, procedural. The story itself gets a couple of strong marks for being well-constructed, but the real conversation is about Thomas Randolph, the killer at the center of it all, people found him completely unlikable and lacking any compelling menace. The split reaction suggests it works fine for fans of the genre but doesn’t break any new ground, with director Chris Smith’s work getting a bit of praise.
