Saw this movie today, brilliant performances by Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby ( Ted Bundy). This movie is from a very different point of view, it's a drama not a blood soaked thriller. Although I am a big fan of gore , blood and horror this movie which has none still caught my attention. It's mainly because of the direction, screenplay and brilliant performances Watch this one, I don't know why it has just 6.5 rating mainly I guess because people are fools and must've been on their stupid cell phones while watching it. But this movie requires attention all through and you'll love it.

There are few movies that you bother to watch more than once because they just aren't thoughtful enough. Like Blade Runner 2049, once is enough. Like Blade Runner 1983, 10 times is not enough. I though this movie had many interesting insights that that you cannot grasp in one viewing and I will watch in multiple times.

This is a very good decent phycological drama, based on an interesting true story. The screenplay is great and full of interesting powerful dialogues. It also nicely tackles serious topics. Performances by the two leads are superbly solid. My only issue with it is that it sometimes rushes and gets a bit superficial.

No Man of God manages to be an interesting movie in the sea of media based on serial killers. This is mostly due to the two leads performances. Luke Kirby puts himself on the map with a sinister and haunting performance as Ted Bundy, while Elijah Wood crushes it as usual as the cautious and wide eyed FBI agent that interviews Bundy. My biggest problem with the films shot selection is a bit basic, as it really seems the director just let the actors sorta do there thing. Still this movie is very good.

Solid performances with chilling dialogues.... This have some uncomfortable revelations and makes you wonder why a person could do this. Can be a painful watch but worth it.

No Man of God is a good film. They tried a different take and I enjoyed it. The acting was great, the actor who played T was a pleasure to watch, a captivating performance. Wood was interested yet a little confused, as always. The problem with the film was that it felt like the biggest and the most interesting chunk of it was missing. They jump to being 'friends' too fast. They didn't want the film to drag and feel boring, but in these types of films, the forming of a bond is the most interesting part. I can listen to the interesting dialogue, it's no problem. Overall, good take, great acting, but they stopped just a little short of being great.

Hundreds of TV shows and movies have been made about Ted Bundy and his FBI Profile work. There isn't much that makes this movie special among those builds. But that doesn't mean the movie is bad. Elijah Wood is a strange person. You will understand what I mean if you focus on the films he produced, such as this one, rather than the films he starred in.
