Ted K (2021)
6/10
Interesting but quirkily cheap '80s styled biopic on Ted Kacynski, aka The Unabomber

"Ted K" is a true-crime biopic on Ted Kacynski, aka The Unabomber, whose social awkwardness drove him from being a maths prodigy to an impoverished hermit in rural Montana where without plumbing or electricty he grew increasingly angry at technologic advances represented by planes, snow-mobiles, loggers etc disturbing his tranquility (& destroying modern life). This drove him from low-level vandalism to his infamous '78-'95 mail-bomb campaign that killed three & injured 23. Co-writer Tony Stone directs with a curious low-budget '80s style and relies heavily on Sharlto Copley's lead performance - but Copley delivers. Quirky yet interesting.
