Faking a Murderer follows two filmmakers on their noble yet perhaps misguided quest to track down a seedy-looking stranger they've discovered online who -- in a disturbing video -- seemingly confesses to a murder. Or at least that's what they think. Seeing the popularity of true crime shows, they decide to try and turn this discovery into their own killer hit. With the support (both moral and financial) of a distributor, Stuart Stone and Adam Rodness set off on their journey to try and track down this elusive creep. When they bring the video to law enforcement, they're told -- repeatedly -- that it's really not much to go on, and they're putting a lot of time and energy into what essentially is a fool's errand. Determined to make this work, they flex, stretch, and break their budget in pursuit of a hit new crime story, but are they in over their heads?

If you are ready and willing to chug-chug-a-chug your way through nearly an hour of puffed-up information similar to a college paper on a subject you BARELY studied, it’s worth it to get to the gooey center at the end of the film. Go to Full Review

The story abruptly turns so dark that the meager humor is completely lost. Go to Full Review
