Plot: Inspired by the satirical black comedy Man Bites Dog, emerging film director Thomas C. Dunn's feature debut tells the tale of a young documentary filmmaker who inadvertently captures a murder on camer...( read more read more... )a, and unwisely attempts to blackmail the murderer into becoming the subject of his latest film. Mickey (Wes Bentley) is an aspiring filmmaker who seems to lack a certain sense of inspiration - that is, until he captures elusive serial killer James Lemac (Mark Borkowski) on camera doing what he does best. Realizing the remarkable value of this gruesome footage, Mickey approaches the madman with an offer of creating the ultimate reality show. Should James agree to become part of the project the pair will no doubt become famous, but should he refuse Mickey will immediately hand the footage over to the police. Left with precious little choice other than to play along in Mickey's twisted little game, a reluctant James agrees to grant the filmmaker total access to his grisly excursions. But as the filmmaker and his subject set out to make movie history, the lines of power gradually begin to blur, at times giving James the upper hand. Now, as the psychological game of cat and mouse winds to it's shocking conclusion, Mickey will be forced to confront the darkness that dwells not just in the corroded soul of his subject, but somewhere deep within his own fragile psyche as well. ~ Ja

    Definitely well acted. Pretty standard stuff here. Not ground broken after watching this. But I love how Wes Bentley comes full circle in his career and walks around with a camera in this flick.
    Jokes aside, he was fantastic as always. I'd love to see him in a rom/com at some point.
    But the award for best performance in the film goes to Mark Borkowski. Where did this guy come from? Amazing performance.

    Overall, a decent flick. Good rental.

    You've seen it all before. The sympathetic monster in The Ugly, mixed with the mockumentary stylings of Man Bites Dog and The Last Horror Movie, but told in a fiction film. However, it's done quite well with an awesome performance by Borkowski as the serial killer torured by personal demons and a (shudder) documentarian. For his performance alone, this film is worth seeing. Still, it moves at a pretty brisk pace and is never slow. If you're a fan of the serial killer genre, this is one of the better ones.
