The Real Review

It's mostly a miss. The story is the main problem, getting slammed as poorly paced and unoriginal, which drags down the whole film. Jacob Tremblay's performance as Ted Kaczynski is the standout, with many finding him compelling, while Russell Crowe's portrayal of Professor Henry Murray gets a more split reaction. Shailene Woodley's FBI agent Joanne Miller doesn't leave much of an impression. The film tries to connect Kaczynski's descent to his time in the controversial Harvard experiments, but it rarely feels fresh or engaging.
