Despite the admittedly unique angle, this ambitious drama gets crushed under the considerable weight of its artistic, as well as budgetary, limitations.

3/4

"The Lennon Report" offers no special insights into Lennon, or the country, or that awful night, but it does bring back the time. It looks and feels like 1980.

Profe does an admirable job walking us through the day's events, weaving together the accounts of people on the scene.

2.5/5

Built upon interesting details that haven't been widely shared, but gets bogged down in minutiae.

Dramatic recreation of the night John Lennon was murdered matter-of-factly recalls a dirtier, less tourist-friendly New York City and an era when bad news was no surprise.

B-

The production doesn't have the budget to fully recreate the era, but "The Lennon Report" comes through with an original vision for a dire subject matter.

Nothing spectacular, the trailer pretty much covers it all. Just an alright movie with Lennon as the back drop. Nothing new is presented and the movie ends with the real hospital staff and reporter who was in the hospital that night.
