I loved Scott Leet's performance, but I have to say the primary, fundamental and defining ingredient was very ludicrously omitted: Bonin's motivation. Bonin was motivated not only by the power & mania as depicted, but also and primarily so by sex. He raped all of the men he killed, brutally. That was the defining horror of his crimes. This movie doesn't even let on that Bonin was into guys, let alone that such was his primary motivation for engaging in the hunt. For that, the movie comes across as positively embarrassing. It's such a sanitized version of the truth, it has no right claiming to even be -about- William Bonin.
So if you want to know the true story, don't watch this movie. Or if you want to watch this movie, pretend that the movie world's Bill Bonin is some other person entirely, because he sure isn't the real-life version.
