The film lassoes you in with "ya gotta hear this" prurience.

Offers little save morbid titillation.

Particularly because many viewers have already seen the TV-news version, almost any other genre would have been even more compelling -- a fictionalized drama, perhaps, or Truman Capote-style narrative non-fiction.

An irresistible comic shocker, with more satisfying surprise twists to its narrative than one finds in a novel by Patricia Highsmith.
