Review of The Killing of John Lennon (2007) by Marc G — 08 Aug 2008

It took me a while to get into this one as it starts off quite slow. Style over content was my original feeling but then after 30 mins it really gets going. Filmed on location and over three years, the attention to detail and fact is faultless.

I really admire the makers of this film, for telling the story but never passing judgement. Chapman is never going to be popular and this film in no way excuses or glorifies his actions or insults the viewer by pretending to know why he did it.

Its just the facts and what went down those last months in 1980. Great film making!
