This documentary had me struggling to stay awake. It is incredibly slow-paced and delves into details that aren't all that necessary.
We jump right into the ending, where Cullen is on the verge of getting caught, and detectives are filling us in on what led up to this moment. That opening hooked me and kept me watching till the end.
But then, the last hour was just tough to get through. It's all these personal anecdotes from people who either knew Cullen or his victims, but they're told so slowly and without much interest. I could step away to make myself a cup of coffee, come back after ten minutes, and it'd feel like the movie hadn't moved forward at all.
Seriously, filmmakers, it's been ages since the '80s. Let's pick up the pace and cut out the boring bits.
