from the brilliant mind that bring u the exorcist . and cruise . rampage be unfortunately more like the latter . it an overall messy movie that have a major make for tv vibe go for it . the whole film pretend to hinge on the question and what if the boy next door be a serial killer . but instead it wind up be an uninspired courtroom drama and meditation on the the insanity plea and death penalty that make little sense . the movie be very loosely base on the richard trenton chase case and cull a few fact here and there to make a fake character and a different outcome . one of the main point of the film seem to be that end the life of a terminally braindead child and end the life of a murderer be somehow analagous . sometimes you just have to choose and say the lead character . yeah and sometimes you have to choose to pull the plug . on your tv .
