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...

Why !!!

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.

The film was slightly better than I thought it would be but it was a bit overlong and repetetive. More importantly it didn't really provide any real insight into why Chapman committed the killing. I got the impression that the director was a bit of a Salinger fan too.

Yawn...

I was soooo bored. It was way too artsyfartsy for me and much of the dialogue was lost in mumbling/drowning in music. I really had to force myself to keep watching and gave up towards the end. Those are 2 hours of my life I won't get back. The only thing I liked was that it was filmed on the actual locations.

The killing of John Lennon

A good portrayal of the mind of a lunatic, and his obsession with one man. But not the reason you think. I got so mad with this lunatic, even though it was a film, but a true one. This man will never be safe while he is alive and he deserves not to be. worth watching, but if you are a beetles fan like me then it will also effect you.

Sorry folks, but this film was boring. I fell asleep through it and woke up to find John still walking around. If you are a fan you will be very disappointed.
