Leofwine_draca The most surprising thing about this amateur effort re-telling the true story of the Washington, D.C. shootings that were perpetrated by a guy shooting out of the tail light of his adapted car is that it was directed by Polish director Ulli Lommel, the guy who brought us THE TENDERNESS OF THE WOLVES and THE BOGEY MAN all those years ago. I had no idea that he was still working (or even still alive) and reduced to making straight-to-DVD junk these days.The ONLY - and I mean ONLY - good thing about this film is Ken Foree, one-time star of DAWN OF THE DEAD. Foree plays the main villain of the piece and around half the running time is made up of him ranting to the camera about various facets and flaws of modern society. Sadly, the script is atrocious so a lot of what he's coming out with is absolute nonsense, but Foree is still good value and the only reason I bothered watching this rubbish to the end.Sadly, everything around him is terrible: the supporting cast of non-actors are wooden beyond belief (including the director himself in an unwise acting role) and the direction is amateur. The various kill scenes, although gory, are robbed of any suspense or shock value thanks to the poor way in which they're conceived and shot. D.C. SNIPER isn't the worst film I've ever seen, but it's certainly very close to the bottom of the scale.

barnesyard This film was terrible in every aspect. The acting, filming, sound, character drama - all bad.The idea was captivating - I kept hoping it would get better...but it didn't.Someone could make a good version of this movie and it would be decent...it would probably be tainted by the stink of this movie.I believe this was supposed to be some kind of drama - there was nothing dramatic about it though. Lots of long slow pans over scenery were used. Why would someone go to all the trouble of making this movie, and then after watching it say, "I still want other people to suffer through this."

icebergslimproductions First off this movie was horrible.With that being said this may be considered a spoiler to anyone thinking they are going to learn some thing about this case or the people who purportrated these acts. The only thing they got right were the names John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. Thats it nothing else.I live in the DC area so I know a lot of the facts and what happened because we here in the District were very frightened and paid attention to every detail of what was going on around us.Fact 1. Only 1 of the 13 shootings happened in DC. 10 of the 13 were killed. Unlike in the movie where they were just riding around DC.In the movie they made it seem like Lee didn't want to shoot anyone when they were talking in the car(already in DC). When in Fact (2) They were linked to more than 10 shootings throughout the country before getting to DC.Fact 3. There was no manifesto sent to the White House. They did however leave a few cryptic notes at some of the crime scenes one demanding that police say that they had captured them "Like a duck in a noose"(or something like that) Fact 4. There wasn't 2 lone agents (who looked like they were going to make out at one point in this movie) It was a joint task force of Montgomery Co PD & FBI.Fact 5. The gun in the movie looked like a .22 rifle without a scope LMAO. they used a Bushmaster In the movie they just shot a lot of white people (mainly women) Fact 6. They shot or killed people of all races and nationalities in order to make it seem like like everyone was a threat including a 13 yr old black boy.Fact 7. They were caught sleeping at a rest stop in Maryland by a trucker the same night the description of Muhammad and the car was broadcast. Not by 2 agents in an alley.Its one thing to take liberties with facts but this was utterly ridiculous.Avoid at all costs unless you want to see how not to make a movie.

jphendu This movie was full of clichés, horrible acting and cheesy dialogue. How can you make the DC Sniper story boring? Before I watched this, I wouldn't think it would be possible. The camera work was very low quality and shaky. The confessionals between the characters and a camera were almost humorous and the voice over work of the federal agent was unneeded. Why was it important to know about his run away daughter and her venture into online pornography? I'm telling you... I don't know how anyone can say they enjoyed this movie. It was unfocused, poorly written and simply corny. I would expect this at film school.
