Extremely Wicked Shockingly Vile And Evil 123 Movie Thats OccasionallyIts a brilliantly creative choice, setting the tone for a movie thats occasionally too lighthearted for its own good, but always intriguingly odd. Liz, a single mother who meets Bundy in a bar, can never quite decide if the man she is doomed to love is a monster or a victim of false allegations. The truth becomes ever harder to deny as new accusations come Bundys way over the years. Collins gets the less meaty of the two lead roles, gradually withering as she realises shes given her heart to the worst man possible. He plays it at just the right level, as if always behind a glass prison screen, never quite connected to the person in front of him. He struts through the court scenes (Bundy largely represented himself through his trials) like a precocious child, always seconds from a tantrum. It does, therefore, make for a rather lightweight biopic if indeed it can be called that, given we see nothing of Bundy before he met Liz. It could have used a proper focal point to stop it feeling like a grab-bag of ideas it doesnt fully explore Bundy or Liz enough to work as a full examination of either; the birth of crime as entertainment point isnt fully interrogated; and the victims are footnotes, as is the investigation. But youll likely come away remarking on Efrons performance, rather than anything surprising learned about Americas most famous serial killer. Its perhaps fitting that the film falls flat when he, playing a killer who loved the spotlight, leaves the screen.
