You won't be disappointed!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

To John_Merritt2011Just the fact that your very first statement tells us you did not even see this film, your critique of this video is nonsensical, uneducated, and flat out stupid! Your assertion that it should not have been made due to the brutality of it and insulting to the victims families, is ridiculous! By your way of thinking movies like: Full Metal Jacket (RIP Gunny), JFK, Goodfellas, Glory, and every other movie based on Actual Events. Gimme a break!

As a true crime aficionado (or is it afficionada?), I watched the true story and capture of Colonel Williams play out on one of the States' true crime networks. I was thrilled to find out that Lifetime had recreated the story, but I was very disappointed. Except for Gary Cole's performance, I found every other actor in this movie lacking any real depth. The performances by the leads- Laura Harris, Rossif Sutherland and the actress who portrayed Captain Novak-were so lackluster that I really didn't believe any of them could crack a case of this magnitude.Gary Cole saves this movie from being completely horrible.

Gary Cole's understated portrayal of a psychopathic alter-ego taking control of the daily ego is relentless, disturbing, and masterful. This (along with the fact that it's based on actual events) makes this movie worth viewing. Cole does not go all dramatic and tear up the scenery. In fact his *persona* (his personality mask) remains the same throughout his changes -- meticulous, thorough, rigid, controlling, polite. It's his soul that darkens and falls into this demonic abyss. Cole somehow communicates this transformation and makes us believe him (to our horror).It should be noted that the the police characters are all fictional, and they even seem fictional in the way they are portrayed. But for those of us who wondered how a "Base Commander" on a Canadian Armed Forces base could possible lead such a double life and be one person, Cole makes us see -- not comprehend but accept.

This base commander had it all. Deeply respected by all and a favorite of the Queen, he had some career ahead of him. Go know that he was a sexual predator whose escapades became more and more violent and eventually would lead up to a double murder.Go know that the tires on his car would eventually do him in. What dastardly acts he committed. Dressing up as a woman was part of the act as well.Interesting to see how the case was cracked. You'd think this commander would have been beyond reproach. However, when the evidence started pointing to him, they had no other alternative but to pursue him.
