Too Fast Narration

Just finished watching this.

Completely heartbroken and angry for the Bagby family.

But the only thing that grated on me the whole time was how fast Kurt narrated the story.
Why was he rushing so much of it. During some scenes, where he is building a case against the judicial system but interjecting direct quotes from Welsh, its just going too fast. I think it kinda of ruined the quality a bit.

Did anyone else notice this?

Yes, it was very noticeable and really detracted from the film. I also couldn't stand the fast-paced slideshow of photos during some segments. And man, that background music was terrible at times.

It's an incredible story that should be told. However, it could be so much better as a film.

Yes the narration was so stupid and ruined the tone of the film, along with the super fast editing. He was talking like an auctioneer, no idea what he was thinking.
