The Killing of John Lennon is a chilling insight into the mind of Mark David Chapman, the 25 year old narcissist who gunned down John Lennon outside his Dakota apartment in New York in 1980. Meticulously researched and filmed on actual locations where events occurred it is a gritty and imagistic examination of a celebrity stalker's mind leading up to the kill - and his descent into madness and exorcism.

Independently financed and filmed over three years in Hawaii, Decatur Georgia and New York it is unflinching in its presentation of the truth. It does not set out to condone or exonerate the shooting death of Lennon or his killer's desire for fame. Its theme of bomb-ticking loneliness and, by extension, the notion that America is a nation of angry strangers who vent paranoid resentment toward public figures couldn't be more resonant today.

Intriguing more than engaging, this film is brooding and intense but the tone is too relentlessy bleak. I found it hard to lose myself in this overlong psychological study. On the other hand it's clearly tirelessly researched and feels authentic. Overall, I'd recommend it, but I'd say it's one to rent, not buy -- unless it gets stupidly cheap.

This film is a must for anyone who is intrigued by the persona of the man behind the murder of John Lennon. The film is shot in a documentary style manner but the artistic direction makes this production enthralling and terribly engaging. The mental health of the killer is the main focus of this film and the viewer is given an insight into the workings of this sick man's mind. The writer and director went to great lengths to research all documents written about Mark Chapman and so the story is as true to life as it could possibly be. A masterpiece.

A very good film regarding the degenration of madness of the killer. It makes you wonder why fixations like this occur, what a waste of a life. He should be released by now - but never will be. Thought provoking.
