Here’s the review:
The Boston Strangler is a gripping crime thriller that explores the notorious case of the serial killer who terrorized Boston in the 1960s. Starring a talented ensemble cast, including Keira Knightley, the film takes the viewer on a chilling journey through the mind of the infamous killer, while also examining the impact of the murders on the city and its inhabitants.
Knightley delivers a strong performance as a journalist who becomes obsessed with the case and sets out to investigate it herself, putting her own life in danger. The supporting cast also delivers strong performances, particularly in the portrayal of the victims’ families and the detectives who worked on the case.
The film’s direction and cinematography are both excellent, effectively creating a tense and foreboding atmosphere that keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. The script is well-written, with several twists and turns that keep the story engaging, and the pacing is just right, ensuring that the film never drags.
Overall, The Boston Strangler is a well-crafted crime thriller that will appeal to fans of the genre. While it may not be for the faint of heart, those who enjoy a good mystery with plenty of suspense and drama will find much to appreciate in this film.

Seems like an interesting take on the case. I am from the hometown of DeSalvo and he did second story creep and climb in my neighborhood (Prattville). Plus, with this country’s absolute fascination with anything murder or rape, well, it’s a guaranteed hit. See the past forty years of television and cinema for reference.
