Review of The Gray Man (2007) by Vänessä L — 13 Aug 2010
An unsettling, horrific and shocking true crime/period piece/drama that was surprisingly well filmed, portrayed and sported some decent acting for a direct to dvd film. I thought the story was well told of child killer Albert Fish and gave good enough details about his life though some of it was a mystery but you can see that a great effort was put into this movie and it definitely surpasses the very disappointing The Black Dahlia and is somewhat similar to the Clint Eastwood film The Changeling but with a lower budget and unknown names.
There were several disturbing scenes and some of those are not for the squeamish but most of it is off screen so it makes you use your imagination of what happened to the victims which makes it all the more chilling.
Overall this wasn't amazing but there is a very solid effort to be found in this movie and I'm going to go ahead and recommend it especially if you are a fan of true crime stories. Not half bad!
