Boring Movie


I didnt know this was based on a true story when I watched it. It was set in the US and I didnt remember a case like this. The movie sounded interesting but the acting was horrible and the half movie/half documentary look to it made it even worse. It was aired as "New" on Lifetime Movie Network, so I thought it was one of their original movies, but its isnt, so why they chose to air it I dont know. The movie was set once the murderers were 18 and released from jail, the movie barely talked about the murder that put them in jail. When it was discussed it had no feeling to it, just cold facts.

It is probably airing because it is close to the anniversary of The child's death. I know once I started watching it, I was surprised it was not an original lmn movie or new at all. After the horrible first scene I googled the movie, despite not remembering the murder, I just assumed it had to be loosely based on one. I came across the victims mother's twitter, where she was upset about a story being published, in which pictures of her son James were used. There was a comment about how the anniversary of his death seems to bring on more articles. Must be awful for her to never be able to live at peace. This movie was obviously very loosely based on the killers, since the only facts that were correct included the portrayal of 2 ten yr old murders, a male toddler as the victim and minor similarities of what they did to that poor child. Their actual crime was far more vile. Anything after they were release remained a mystery since those two pieces of garbage were given new identities to go on and live a nice normal life that neither deserved. One was actually arrested a few years ago for child porn, but I didn't find much out about the other. I actually ended the movie feeling more disgusted than I did with the first scene, after they tried to set the story up as if one of the boys was the ring leader, so only he deserved to die, when in fact both of these parasites should be eliminated. Sorry I am a mommy and what they did was so appalling, that the movie should have at least ended with justice, and not trying to absolve either of the two characters.

Yes the movie was boring, kind of a terrible movie overall, that I hope does not give me nightmares after seeing the little boy dead and having read what was done to him.


** May little James Bugler rest in peace and may his family find their peace as well.**

I agree with every word you wrote!

This disgraceful film should never have been made. Hopefully the poor boy's mother finds peace. What happened to her son and her family shouldn't happen to anyone.
