  Nice script exploiting the crimes of an allegedly first lady serial killer, and shading light on her impression of this evil world. Even her lawyer and adopted mother are greedy opportunists in her opinion. It's amazing how most people believe this as a reality than a scripted work. (Of course, she's a murderer, but the lawyer and mother's part are somewhat woven out.) Aileen's interview is pushed to the end of the FILM, thereby maintaining the ace in the hole.

  Bad enough that Aileen Wuornos took eight lives, but to see the collection of buzzards, leeches and assorted slime that assembled to profit from her pending execution is sickening. The worst of the lot is her sleazebag attorney, auctioning off interviews at $20,000 a pop. There is a… More
  Bad enough that Aileen Wuornos took eight lives, but to see the collection of buzzards, leeches and assorted slime that assembled to profit from her pending execution is sickening. The worst of the lot is her sleazebag attorney, auctioning off interviews at $20,000 a pop. There is a stink here that won't wash.

  Hmm, this documentary is a bit of a mess. It feels like Nick Broomfield wanted to make an informative piece about the life and crimes of Aileen Wuornos and was forced to switch focus to the supporting players because the star wouldn't leave her dressing room for an interview. Sure, it's interesting enough watching these opportunistic vultures feathering their nests but this isn't the really the story we're looking for, is it? The film has also been weakened in places by the turn of events that followed. For example, the chilling description of an electric chair execution now seems redundant because, of course, Wuornos was executed by lethal injection. My favourite moment is when Broomfield and his crew finally go in to meet Wuornos and the prison guard asks him whether he has any secret cameras hidden in his belt. Broomfield's wry reply: "Er, no. I just have this rather large one, right here."
