ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Jeffrey Burton This is a very well done thriller. It really captures the workings of the psychopathic mind. The performances are all great. Jack Rowan deserves an award for the charming and sinister, Sam. Romola Garai is great as the mother, slowly realizing her son is a monster. Daniel Mays and Lara Peake also turn in quality performances.The direction and story are tight and keeps you wondering what will happen up to the last minutes of the series. 'Born to Kill' doesn't fall for any psycho-killer cliches, either. It's the story of a burgeoning serial killer and though the situations are tense they remain natural. This is not movie story writing. This is allowing the events to unfold as they would. If you like thrillers that have the feel of True Crime, you will really like this limited series. Highly recommended.
giannaormerod The teenagers in this were perfect, totally 3 dimensional and realistic to their circumstances. It doesn't feel plot line convenient that they were friends solely down to the way they interacted together.Could've done with a 5th final episode though just to give more substance to the final drama.
samhume-72568 I felt obliged to write this review after just finishing the final episode. I'd missed the series when it was initially aired but so glad I discovered it. It tells the story of a troubled teenager who dotes on his mother. As the series progresses I felt more attached to the character.. As Sam learns more about his dad, you see the similarities build. To devastating effects. It might be a slow burner for some, but certainly worth sticking with it. I thought it was thoroughly entertaining. With a few twists and unexpected shocks, I thought it was a great four parter.
vicstevinson Jack Rowan delivers an astonishing performance and has commanding presence. He posses heartthrob looks and an intriguing ability to sell this character's treachery and quirks. What an amazing feat for a young talent.Romola Garai is surprisingly convincing in this role that is 10 years older than she is. Her character compartmentalizes and as situations become overwhelming, Garai keeps the lid on the melodrama and cuts to the heart of her character.The title is so very on-the-nose and unfortunate. The show itself is an incredible journey into troubled psychology masked by teenage angst and turmoil.
