Too much sympathy for a killer?


This movie was pretty bias IMO. I mean, I cried a little at the end cuz I felt bad for the guy. There was obviously something really wrong with him mentally.



i hope you choke on your bacardi & coke!

Yeah, I just finished the movie and I feel really weird now because it made me like Philip. That's just wrong in so many ways and I feel like I need to take a shower because of it.

It made a little difference to me when I learned he never tried to rape or wanted to hurt them, just rob them to pay for his growing gambling debt because sex trade workers were least likely to go to the police. The murder was depicted as an unplanned occurrence. Not sure if there were any other violent accounts or if there was other motivation besides money.

Regardless they are still victims. they were still traumatized by being threatened at gunpoint. the guy collected their panties and kept them under his mattress! the guy was a total creep.

Yeah, but they totally played down his actual pervesity (cross-dressing, etc.) in the movie. Made it more typical "hot guys like hot chicks" thing. A little white-washed for TV.
