I would punch this director in the face if I met him.

Reviewface from from Milton Keynes, 25th February, 2008

How messed up is it to make a film about the death of such a legend, and create emphasis on his death not life, And to make the gut who kiled him a well known name which is what he wanted when he should just be forgotten like the fool he is. my rating -1000...

Pauli from from Halifax, 27th April, 2008

I cannot understand why this film was made at all ! Unlike packaging behind film - no insite into Chapman at all. He did kill John Lennon ! Question - why his he now out !! Oh it's America and not oil !

Not bad

A Customer from London, 11th April, 2008

Although rather macabre, this portrayal of Mark Chapman seems to follow his life quite accurately and the locations are all real. The film never really gets to the answer of why he killed Lennon and the murder remains a brutal and pointless act by a deluded and confused man. If you know nothing about this, then it is worth a watch but people familiar with the event will find nothing new here. Fame is what Chapman wanted and making films like this only in the end satisfy him.

No Soul

CharlieLinton from , 20th October, 2008

This movie just had no 'oomph'. It didn't grip or engage me with the characters. As EVERYONE knows the ultimate ending of the film (even if just from the title), the build up and scene setting should be everything but instead was really nothing - no soul and no depth. I didn't even bother to pause it to go and make a coffee!
