My god this is awful in every single way. This film is an insult to the memory of Cunanan's victims. The lead's acting is horrendous. It skips over important details of the previous murders, painting no picture of who these unfortunate souls were or the twisted reasons they became victims of this psychopath. After a short 15 minutes into this film, I was ready to turn it off. Regretfully, I stuck around until the end.
As someone who lived and worked as a bartender at an after-hours club (Hombre) on South Beach the summer that this happened, I could write a more accurate rendition of the story. I spoke with the FBI who went to all the bars asking if anyone had seen or knew of Cunanan's whereabouts. I was interviewed by a particularly annoying NY Post reporter. Thankfully I never had the misfortune of meeting Cunanan, but I knew a few people who had met him briefly, which I found out later on. There was a dark cloud hovering over the beach for the week he roamed free after the senseless murder of Gianni Versace. We were all afraid and our guard was up.
Cunanan's victims deserved better than this garbage. Everyone involved in making this project should be ashamed of themselves. Do yourself a favor - skip this tragic mess and watch the Ryan Murphy mini-series instead. Flaws and all it is a much more accurate and thoughtful portrayal of what really happened.
