ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

begob Girl falls in love with boy, discovers he's a rapist, marries him and colludes in his continued depravity, then gets caught.Earnest tale told in plain flashback, with no insight on the characters and no interest in the nature of truth and little by way of visceral horror. The killing scenes are tame, giving no sense of the rush of adrenalin in perpetrators or victims, or the ugliness and finality of violent death. So overall it feels like an old-fashioned made for TV movie.You get to the postscript and find an entirely different character from the one portrayed by the lead actress, and it's a real head scratcher to think they didn't use that angle to mess things up and break from the linear story telling.Performances are fine. Lighting is mostly bright, so no great moodiness. Music did its job.Overall: Simple tale of depravity that didn't feel depraved.Seems there was controversy in Canada over this, and several of the actors repudiated the film, with lurid tales of misconduct on the set. Its real weakness is that it pulls its punches and fails to be nasty enough.

m1xer The film portrays Karla in not as even of a light as she should of been.They made Paul look extremely bad which he was so that is all fine by me. But Karla they made to look like a psychotic victim. Lets get one thing clear, she shows little remorse for the victims she just might of killed, and agreed to kill (so either way shes psychotic) and she is a sociopath with no empathy. She has s huge IQ and she is just an awful person.So to the see the film make her out to be a confused, helpless victim was just as sick as what these two did to these three or four, or more poor girls if you count Pauls rapes in Scarbourough.Anyway the movie is disturbing as expected but it does a good job at looking at a real-life story and something that can happen. It is all so amazing and shocking this happened in Canada, my country that is supposed to be safe. But this is an evil, evil world.I feel sorry for the family and friends of the victims and do not encourage them to ever watch this but I think it is important the world can see this story so they know the evil these two committed and sure it is a big injustice she is now free after her deal with the devil twelve year plea bargain. But it is important Paul spends the rest of his life in prison as a dangerous offender. Karla is a sociopath, Paul is a sick, evil, psychotic scumbag that should never see the light of day again.If your into true, killer movies, then it is not bad at all. Just be prepared for some altered facts and disturbing scenes.7 out of 10.

ShempMyMcMalley Well, I have written reviews about people wrongly convicted, as in the movie "The Trials of Darryl Hunt" (a must-see), a scary discourse on a sometime court procedural. And now conversely, a comment about someone rightfully convicted. However, she didn't nearly get her due behind bars. So I guess that's not so "rightfully." Hence, I guess sometimes 'justice' (whatever that word means) - is like the wind and leaves. On any given day, it scatters about to and with the whim of the day.As a movie, this has the feel of Lifetime or the Hallmark channel written all over it. It is basically Karla at her eight-year prison mark meeting with a psychiatrist and discussing events from her case in hopes of parole. We see everything in retrospect - as she and the shrink discuss it. Prepon is good and goes through the motions of what this unfortunate script requires. I recommend watching a documentary rather than this dramatization. It is better towards the end, but with all the movies available, unless you're ardently following this case - skip it.Sidenote: With all due respect to the victims - this can be quite funny in a few spots, but only in the way tragedy borders on comedy. Megalomaniac-psychopath-sociopath-misanthropic Bernardo, GET this, actually thinks he's a rapper. These scenes when he is attempting to rap somewhat place you in a vortex and you're caught in a glazing gaze not knowing what to think or do. I laughed. But in the confusion of blowing leaves - it's not so easy to know what to do.

wispy-1 I've seen a few reviews here and in other media about this movie that complain that it is too realistic and/or never should have been made out of respect for Canadians and, especially, their victims and families. Well, I'm a Canadian and I was stalked and almost abducted off the street by them. Luckily, I was a lot more street savvy than their victims, very smart, strong and in peak physical condition, and more a leader than a follower. They wisely realized that, appearances to the contrary, I was not a good choice of prey and moved on. All this is to say, that I probably have more reason than most to agree with those who argue that the film shouldn't have been released.I do, in fact, agree that it shouldn't have seen the light of day but not, however, because of bad memories, sympathy, or outrage at glorifying the horrific crimes, but because the movie sucked! From writing, through directing, to acting, it's just bad. It's too late for me, but not for you who haven't had to sit through this sludge - save yourselves!
