My god this is awful in every single way. This film is an insult to the memory of Cunanan's victims. The lead's acting is horrendous. It skips over important details of the previous murders, painting no picture of who these unfortunate souls were or the twisted reasons they became victims of this psychopath. After a short 15 minutes into this film, I was ready to turn it off. Regretfully, I stuck around until the end.

As someone who lived and worked as a bartender at an after-hours club (Hombre) on South Beach the summer that this happened, I could write a more accurate rendition of the story. I spoke with the FBI who went to all the bars asking if anyone had seen or knew of Cunanan's whereabouts. I was interviewed by a particularly annoying NY Post reporter. Thankfully I never had the misfortune of meeting Cunanan, but I knew a few people who had met him briefly, which I found out later on. There was a dark cloud hovering over the beach for the week he roamed free after the senseless murder of Gianni Versace. We were all afraid and our guard was up.

Cunanan's victims deserved better than this garbage. Everyone involved in making this project should be ashamed of themselves. Do yourself a favor - skip this tragic mess and watch the Ryan Murphy mini-series instead. Flaws and all it is a much more accurate and thoughtful portrayal of what really happened.

For all the people who complain that the show is too political. don't think for a second we don't know EXACTLY who you are, You are people who were never truly a friend to gays. You were fine if we were there to do a dog and pony show for your entertainment, but you refuse to see that we are real people with feelings. and we might not think so highly of a government that treats us as second class citizens. The current administration has nothing but ill will and absolute contempt for gay people. I'm sorry if that isn't convenient for your compartmentalized, myopic views on life. I'm sorry you seem to resent the fact that gay people might have a problem with with being viewed as less than human. As for the show, if you don't like it, that's your choice..but don't come here to crap about it because it doesn't fit your narrative. We have every right to be resentful - especially toward people that don't take a stand for us. Frankly, the only people I really see whining about politics are the ones who show up here to pass out one star reviews. The show is just a great as it ever was. You are the ones who've become narrow minded and bitter,
