Advantages: Fascinating case, Fuhrman is a really interesting guy Disadvantages: Plodding and unconvicing film
without a cinema run. The second reason is that the film is very linear, it's a murder film without any real violence or horror, because that's not what the film is about.
So the film in my view falls between being entertainment and a documentary programme, because it's neither. I'd really rather watched this having been made in a documentary style, but because the murder of the girl was real, it is difficult to gain any "enjoyment" from it being a horror film.
The DVD has very few extras, just the standard sub-titles and a couple of trailers.

The Passion of the Christ released in 2004 and directed by Mel Gibson is a film that I have only recently seen for the first time. At the time of its release I made a conscious decision to avoid watching this film due to the huge amount of hype that surrounded it.
Having now watched this film I am left with a mixture of different thoughts and feelings. I am not a religious person and this is also another reason why I probably did not rush out to the Cinema on the release of this film. I also had even less interest in rushing out to see it when I discovered that not only were there no big name Hollywood Actors amongst the cast but that all of the dialogue was spoken in a mixture of Latin and Aramaic, with English subtitles displayed across the screen.
The entire script for this film is taken from chapters 14 and 15 of Mark's Gospel ...
