Real Life Horror: Blue Caprice

The Blue Caprice: 2013: --:Drm/ HrrI came across this movie and decided to watch it because it dealt with a difficult and troubling subject, i.e. the sniper who hid in the blue Caprice and randomly shot many innocent people with little to no remorse.

It's hard to watch this movie and not draw parallels to the Manchurian Candidate because the father in this movie essentially brainwashed the adolescent into killing in cold blood for feelings of revenge (the first killing) and feelings of social rejection.  In a time of the mass murder in CT, this movie is very chilling.  The scenery, the acting, and above else, the realism in this film astoundingly convincing. 

There isn't much to complain about in this movie, as it accurately depicts, are as accurately as I could imagine, the killing spree which took place on the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks.  Not only do I recommend this movie, but I say that it is a movie that everyone should watch that is curious as to why this youth would kill indiscriminately to appease a man who took him under his wing. 

The only thing that I can take away from this movie is that it ended abruptly, but I guess that is true to life as well.  Alexandre Moore directed Isiah Washington and Tequan Richmond with great success in this movie based on actual events::::84%
