Review
James Woods is impressive as
early 20th century serial killer Carl Panzram in this potentially
gripping character study lacking a satisfactory framework. As Henry
Lesser, the prison guard to whom Panzram reveals his inner thoughts and
secrets, Robert Sean Leonard is well cast, but his character is
underdeveloped and the relation between the two lacks dynamic.
Writer/director Tim Metcalfe's work is too undaring and bland to make Killer: A Journal of Murder
into the engrossing movie experience it should and could have been.
