A man trains a teenager and turns him into a deadly sniper, then the duo embarks on a rampage across America.

Critics Consensus

Smart, sobering, and quietly chilling, Blue Caprice uses its horrible true-life story -- and some solid performances -- to underscore the dreadful banality of evil.

Blue Caprice is an elegy, perhaps even a tragedy.

This is a film that stubbornly refuses to sensationalize; it's not interested in how these men killed, or in exploiting and fetishizing those acts. Instead, it explores their humanity-which is revealed to be even more terrifying.

4/5

“Blue Caprice” succeeds because of its great direction, two strong central performances, and an atmosphere and tone that does the story justice.

7/10

Surprisingly coming out of nowhere from the Sundance Film Festival, 'Blue Caprice' is a frightening, realistic, cruel, complexly psychological independent drama. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

Richmond has few lines, but the young actor commands the screen with his simmering rage, making it entirely believable that this once scared boy could turn into a remorseless killer.

Despite great performances it doesn't provide a complete backstory about the motives behind the murders.

Inspired by the events but the authors don't really know how the killers were thinking. It is still the important part. My take is that psychopathy is common in the US. That is why shooters are also common, relatively speaking.

The real life subject matter keeps it interesting but don't expect a lot of fireworks.

It is slow, and there isn't a lot of action but that wasn't the point of the movie. This was to understand the two DC snipers and why they did what they did. Moved slow, but I believe that was an artistic decision. Good movie on NetFlix

Misleading title makes it seem as though the movie would focus on the shootings from the car vs the behind the scenes story of the 2 men. Solid acting from Washington and Richmond.
