The Killer Inside Me, by Michael Winterbottom

I did not understand why, with so many good films being offered by the festival, we were required to seat through this one.

There were many box office names in this movie such as Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, and Casey Affleck, which is probably the reason behind such high expectations. I think they wanted to be part of an edgy production in which they could prove to be ‘real actors’ who take on real roles and risks. However, they completely failed at trying to achieve such goal. The acting was mediocre and the fake accent was painful to listen to. They proved to be only good at the kind of blockbuster films that made them famous in the first place. However, the acting was not the only problem. The story was very simple and predictable without real underneath suspense or plot, a must have for a serial killer film.
