Trivia
Fairuza Balk made an effort to get in touch with the real Caril Ann Fugate in order to make her role more authentic. Fugate, who was living in quiet anonymity in Lansing, Michigan at the time, rejected Balk's invitation and stated that she wanted nothing to do with production.

A remake of a classic

This movie does a fair job of re-telling the Charles Starkweather story but falls short of the original picture starring Martin Sheen. The story itself is quite different and I have to believe the latter is a little bit more accurate. Excellent acting by Tim Roth and Fairuza Balk's courtroom scenes were quite good. Overall a fair movie.
