Chris Watts: Confessions of a Killer

Some reviewers have missed the point of this film. It isn't entertainment so much as an historical document following the actual timeline closely and without gratuitous violence. If one serious criticism can be made of it, it is that it was produced with indecent haste, but this is hardly the first time American cinema/TV has done something like this. The TV film "Amanda Knox" was released less than four years after that infamous murder in Perugia and while legal proceeding were ongoing. As Watts confessed and there is no suggestion of either another suspect or a belated claim of insanity, the legal proceedings are at an end in this case.

"I'm not a monster" he says in the police interrogation room. You strangled your heavily pregnant wife then murdered your two beautiful young daughters, then blamed their murders on the first victim, then instead of doing the decent thing and ending your own life, you disposed of their bodies like pieces of rubbish. If you aren't a monster, who is?
