The only redeeming quality of this film is Phillip Seymour Hoffman and his portrayal of Truman Capote. Everything else is lacking- especially a good cast and storyline. It barely scratches the surface of events surrounding the killings and its aftermath. It can't hold a candle to the orginal "In Cold Blood" starring Robert Blake. Those who read the book will notice all the flaws of the film "Capote." one of the worst films of 2006.
