Would've preferred it to be a fictional accout of Richard Chase

I thought the additional dramatic elements took away from the events of the court proceedings.
Also having the guy kill deputies and escape was absolutely over-the-top.

The procedural aspect was top-notch, and it's unfortunate that it has such cheap tricks to drive the story.

It was a strange movie that felt like something big and dramatic would happen, like a showdown or something. In spite of that it was engaging; the issues covered in the movie are salient even today
