The last time I saw acting this bad was in 1971 while watching the now cult classic, BILLY JACK. Ironically, this crime by John List also took place in 1971. Was this film directed in such a manner to pay homage to this era?

The producers of this movie, drove by the unemployment office and picked up some out of work actors. This is bad, very bad.....

I wanted to like this movie. I really did, but I couldn't sit through to the end.

Acting by so many was (in my opinion) sub-par. More importantly, this was supposed to be set in the US, yet the obvious signs it was not were seen by the European license plates on cars and obvious non-US electrical outlets. The Royal Mail carrier didn't lend any US authenticity either.

It's the small details that were overlooked that took away from any credibility this film might have had.

The outside shots of the List Westfield NJ home weren't even CLOSE to the home where the crimes had occurred. Granted, that home has since burned and subsequently was demolished, but surely the director could have found a home more closely resembling the List home, than the Newark NJ style row house he used instead.

I can only hope the producers get ANY return on their investment in this film.
