Jul 29, 2013 Well doen docudrama about the killer teenagers of the 1950's with outstanding performances from Tim Roth as Charles Starkweather and Fairuz Balk as Caril Fugate. Close to the facts and expertly done for the television. good outdoor scenery and auethinic period of the 1950's clothes and cars make this a worth while watch. See more Dec 17, 2010 Spannende Story, die aber ruhig eine halbe Stunde Kürzung vertragen hätte. Davon abgesehen ist die Besetzung aber toll. See more Feb 1, 2010 Outstanding film. One of the most intense. Simply excellent. I thought it was quite horrific, cold, disturbing and thrilling. Kept me entertained all the way through. Tim Roth's performance was magnificant and dominant. This film is quite underrated. But it was spectactular to watch. Was quite messed up with the court and such, so much lying in such little time. It ended with a bang. Well, electricly speaking. Haha. Freaking awesome, and messed up. <a href="http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/gaspardxx/?action=view¤t=jjj.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa55/gaspardxx/jjj.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> See more Jul 13, 2009 Good movie True movie too, which gives Nebraskians a chill down there spine.
