This movie is lazy rubbish and makes no impact

This movie was fragmented crap, with huge portions of the serial killers life left out. I found it extremely difficult to follow and weak.

Let me first explain - I wasn't very familiar with this killer anyway. I remember the reports on TV in my country, only a brief tabloid period. Besides the odd documentary, it was largely forgotten and ignored over here. I get the feeling that I'll personally forget this movie quicker than those 90's news reports.

Where were all his victims? Where were the repeated animal dissections? I saw one crow and (I think) him beating the *beep* out of the infamous dogs skull on a stake. Vague. If I hadn't have read up on dahmer, I wouldn't have understood he killed animals or collected roadkill from these scenes at all. How was he socially withdrawn, outcast or inept? Where was that depicted? I think he threw a party at one point!? Unless that was supposed to be some loners pretentious 'theater of the mind, imagination scene'. It was a really badly put together movie. Where were his interactions at school or in the army? There's 5 years of his life missing right there! I think these were necessary scenes to include in order to portray him properly - instead of some watered down time lapse *beep* thing. Especially for people unfamiliar like myself. And I didn't get alcoholism from this at all, not until the very end. The film kept flip-flopping between past and present with little distinction, until it got to a point where I didn't know what the hell as going on. Then it abruptly ended lol !

I can only think people praising this pile of *beep* were already familiar with trivia on Dahmer before watching. And why exactly was the woodland scene at the end just so 'beautiful'? What did that represent? Because to me, they simply cut the movie off.

If you're reading this having not watched it, please skip it and watch Ted Bundy instead (assuming you haven't already). It's a far, far superior biopic of the same year which provokes more thought and is much more disturbing.

ED- I forgot to add that Jeremy Renner looks nothing like Dahmer. He's far too short and stocky in comparison. He also has boyish looks, which look the same throughout the entire film - give or take the odd fake mustache.
