Too much of everything
To me, this movie is perfection.
Memorable, crazy movie
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
I have done quite a bit of research on Jeffery Dahmer and I must admit I am fascinated by him. I came into this movie with an open mind and realizing that maybe in an effort to make the movie more watchable they they couldn't show every detail but I wasn't expecting to see a Disney version of Mr. Dahmer's life.First of all almost no detail of the actually murders was shown and that is important as the method of murder is a great incite into the mind of a serial killer. Second it failed to show any part of Jeffrey's childhood for example him slicing up a fish that he had caught in front of his friends or the fact that he as an outcast at school and vied for attention, or his struggle with his homosexuality. All crucial aspects to this killers' mind.This movie is not good in any way shape or form
The first frame of the movie informs us that Dahmer was one of the most notorious killer of all time and he was sentenced to 937 years in prison!! You think that the movie will either tell you about the origin of this evil or will vividly show the kills. Alas, this is a philosophical discussion cum homoerotic dance which happens between Dahmer and one of his intended villain. Jeremy Renner is Dahmer, an unassuming guy who works in an ice cream factory. He is a homosexual. He lures guys to his home, mixes drugs in their drinks and then kills them. He likes a black guy, brings him home and the aforementioned philosophical bullshit starts. This is interspersed with scenes showing Dahmer's youth. Renner shows early hint of his awesome acting prowess but he cannot rise above the horrible script. It was as if the director chose the most boring 90 minutes of Dahmer's life to make the movie. Very disappointed. 1 out of 5 for Dahmer. This killer will bore you to death.
I saw this film a few years ago, The final scene showed Dahmer disemboweling one of his victims and having sex with the body. Just watched this again and that was no longer in the film. Doing a search shows this version seems to have disappeared with only a trace at amazon.co.uk Very unusual for there to be no record of this on IMDb or WikipediA. Made the film that much more disturbing. I wouldn't say that should be a deal-breaker because I would recommend this film for Renners portrayal and performance. I will say that the movie really let me down the second time viewing due to the total lack of gore that the UNCUT version provided.
I sympathize with the victims of this monstrous man.A look into the lifestyle of Jeffrey Dahmer a serial killer. The film does not show his cannibalistic acts, necrophilia, capture, court trial and death which I believe should have made it the most complete film of him.The film portrays the sexuality of Dahmer, who was a homosexual, but who hated his own sexual identity. This caused him to commit the foul murders shown in the film. He thought that homosexuality was a perversion in the eyes of his peers and family. However he indulged himself without limit with sex of this sort with prostitutes and with his helpless victims.He enjoyed dominating his victims during intercourse as we see in this film. After sex he usually dismembered his victims keeping their heads in his fridge. He enjoyed collecting human bones as well. He had made a fetish with human bones as well. And that is the bizarre part of his persona. Not only content with indulging in sex with his helpless victims, he has to butcher them as well? He could have indulged himself with gay sex freely with willing men without the need to kill.The only thing that fits here was that he was a sadist, a necrophile and of a deceptive turn of mind. He would lie to his victims, spiking their drinks with drugs to paralyze them, and then rape them at his leisure.Similarity here with John Wayne Gacy a notorious serial killer who similarly employed domineering sodomy to his hand-cuffed victims.Arrest and Death: On July 22, 1991, Dahmer lured another man, Tracy Edwards, into his home Dahmer struggled with Edwards in order to handcuff him, but ultimately failed to cuff his wrists together. Wielding a large butcher knife, Dahmer forced Edwards into the bedroom, where Edwards saw pictures of mangled bodies on the wall and noticed the terrible smell coming from a large blue barrel. Edwards punched him in the face, kicked him in the stomach, ran for the door and escaped. Running through the streets, with the handcuffs still hanging from one hand, Edwards waved for help to a police car driven by Robert Rauth and Rolf Mueller of the Milwaukee police department. Edwards led police back to Dahmer's apartment, where Dahmer at first acted friendly to the officers. However, Edwards remembered that the knife Dahmer had threatened him with was in the bedroom. When one of the officers checked the bedroom, he saw the photographs of mangled bodies, and called for his partner to arrest Dahmer. As one officer subdued Dahmer, the other opened the refrigerator and found a human head. Further searching of the apartment revealed three more severed heads, multiple photographs of murdered victims and human remains, severed hands and penises, and photographs of dismembered victims and human remains in his refrigerator.His arrest in 1991, subsequent court trial and imprisonment, and his death at the hands of by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver. with a bar from a weight machine on November 28, 1994. Dahmer died of severe head trauma while on his way to the hospital in an ambulance. Brilliant direction by David Jacobson. Superbly acted by Jeremy Renner as Jeffrey Dahmer and Bruce Davison as Lionel Dahmer.
