Just perfect...

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It says something about the callous nature of the Beltway sniper attacks that they caused so much morbid media interest . In a country like the United States which is perceived to be very violent ( I'm not saying it's true just that it's perceived to be in Europe ) the three week killing spree made the headlines all across the world in October 2002 . It should be remembered that America was still recovering from 9/11 and any killing spree would automatically be thought of as an act of terrorism from an outside power hell bent on attacking the American way of life This TVM tells of the hunt for the snipers who murdered 13 people over a period of three weeks but almost certainly tells it very badly . As you might expect it's told from the police point of view primarily Charles Moose played by Charles S Dutton but one can't help thinking it's a total whitewash as to the police's failing to catch the killers earlier . Perhaps even more disgraceful is the fact that this TVM was broadcast just before the murder trial took place . In other words you get a feeling of sickening cynicism it's broadcast to generate maximum advertising revenue for a TV network

I was very impressed with this made for TV movie. This movie is based on the true events of the Fall of 2002 in the Washinton DC Area. For 23 days a sniper bullied and terrorized the citizens of Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia. With multiple people shot and killed the violence grows as the sniper gets more and more cocky. The feel of this movies is very authentic. The acting was good as was the way that the movie was able to show both side of the story. I really felt like I was experiencing those days all over again. The story is filled with emotions and facts that can be followed and understood.

This film came on DVD, and was a good opportunity to see what the general nature of these vicious crimes was. At that time I was quite busy, and didn't get to follow it on the headlines. I found it well directed, very nice camera work. The sound score, although cliche at times, aided in the suspense. I loved Charles S. Dutton, his best acting so far I think.Most crimes are committed on the basis that the criminal thinks he/she/they won't get caught - thus the severity of punishment is a moot point. However the message is clear here : You can do a crime maybe even 20 times, but the 21st time you WILL GET CAUGHT. Hopefully this might serve as a (unfortunately money making) deterrant. That's the best I can hope for.

it is a chilling, graphic representation of the beltway snipers. maybe this movie was released to quick and it was too soon for some, but it shows that the nation can prevail over 2 ass holes who thought they were GOD. for a made for tv movie, this isnt bad at all. charles s. dutton is heartbreaking and strong in his role and the movie will creep you out. the made-for-tv event of the year! 7/10 or 3/4 stars
