I wish this film had been in the hands of a more competent director and writer. I knew absolutely nothing about this case or movie, but the filmmakers manage to spoil absolutely everything of value within the first couple of minutes. (Ironically enough the IMDb summary is also a spoiler...)
The structure of jumping backwards and forward in time effectively undercuts even the slightest hope of any tension. If this movie is anywhere near the truth, it's impressive in a way that a man with absolutely zero charm or charisma managed to dupe everyone around him for almost two decades.
The story is there for a good movie, it just wasn't this movie.
