Had I not already read the book, I would have given it 4 stars. It followed the book closely although there were some changes from real events. As an example, in the movie, both trials were in West Memphis. Actually, one was in Corning and…

A docudrama of a very disturbing, and tragic story about 3 young boys losing their lives to murder and 3 young men losing their lives to a group of detectives and justice system blinded by emotion....

This is a well made, atypical, understated dramatization of an obscene crime by Atom Egoyan. The casting is good, acting very good, soundtrack very evocative. The five stars are for all this. But this is a very disturbing subject and I…

This docudrama delves into the murder case of three kids. The police focuses on a trio of teenagers suspected of devil worship. The private investigator reveals that the evidence doesn't all add up. I watched the documentary a couple of…

Not one of Atom Egoyan's best but worth watching

Based on the true story of the West Memphis Three about three teenagers who were accused and convicted of murdering three younger boys in their town.

Not the greatest of films, but a fine example of get the 'criminal', and make sure they're in jail no matter what. Based on actual murders, and some gruesome scenes. This is not a pretty story. I feel the director presented it in as much…

No wonder I never heard of this movie. It was fragmented and directionless. I stopped watching. When something horrible like this happens you don't want to wait until the end to find out who did it or listen to all the garbage regarding…

This movie is extremely disturbing! Just thinking about the fact, that there are people out there, that murder children out of some form of a cult. Three children's lives were taken from their families, and the REAL truth, is never…

I don’t think I would want to be allegedly guilty in Arkansas. The judges seem to get their education from a Quik Trip. “Comes across as a cinematic, dramatized Cliff Notes edition of a story that’s been told too often.” Lots of major…

A well-done movie based on the true story! It is gripping and a good study of the characters in it! Wonderful acting! I highly recommend it!

Tried to watch, but too gruesome a subject and depressing.

Gripping story of any parent worst nightmare.

This is another take on the Memphis Three event two decades ago. As a dramatized version it is not as gripping, and truthful, compared to the documentary versions. I also think Egoyan has lost some of his directing touch.

The film, a fictional account of the West Memphis 3, got slammed by a lot of critics because this film didn’t add any new information that was already presented in several documentaries over the years. Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon did…

A very disappointing movie. The talents of two very fine actors in Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon were completely wasted! Almost "cameo-like" appearances and stilted dialogue made for painful viewing. As for the direction...yech!

pretty good. it's too bad the family hasn't had closure on what really happened

A docudrama exposing the shoddy and biased police, prosecutors and the judge in the 1993/1994 gruesome murder case. The "pipe crossing" in the movie looked authentic and similar to the picture in the book with caption: "Detectives stand on…

I was not aware of the history of this story/case. Not as well developed as it could have been as there appear to be a disconnect somewhere in the story line. It was not clear who the PI was working for or why. Colin Firth was miscast…

I had read the book before seeing the movie. The movie is quite factual, although it leaves out a great deal of the information discovered about the background of one of the father's, which I thought was very important to the whole case…

Atmospheric melodrama. The balance of creative licence versus historical accuracy wavers back and forth.
