My database app, CLZ Movies, has a cool function whereby you tilt your phone and it generates a random film from the 17,000, which I then find and post a picture. Here's today's indiscriminately picked title... TO CATCH A KILLER (1992)
neutral · AI labelView post →The film I'm watching is called, To Catch a Killer, with Ben Mendelsohn and Shailene Woodley, after 15 minutes she dives into a pool, near perfect stroke action, and fabulous tumble turn...I really don't need to see anymore 5/5, same as Daisy Ridley who played swimmer Trudie Erdele, 5/5.
positive · AI labelView post →Also, if you liked Silence of the Lambs, catch To Catch a Killer on Netflix before it leaves Feb 18. Not in the Hannibal universe, but same vibe in a solid movie.
positive · AI labelView post →#ShortHorrorReviews To Catch a Killer (1992) A 90s TV series? I know what you're thinking but this has great writing, idiosyncratic direction, and a towering terrifying performance from the late great Brian Dennehy 👻 Don't ya like clowns?🤡 #movie #film #TV #horrorfan

positive · AI labelView post →Thank you to everyone who's watching To Catch A Killer (Damián Szifron, 2023) on Netflix US. It's lovely to see our indie movie still finding new viewers, and enjoying the work of our brilliant cast. Streaming on Sky Cinema in the UK.
neutral · AI labelView post →This To Catch a Killer movie on Netflix is just… bad. I love when movies decide Baltimore is their location then do zero research. So many white people. And in one scene, some guy in a velour jumpsuit refers to a bathroom sink as a “basin”. Gtfo here, Netflix. This shit is Canadian af.

neutral · AI labelView post →IF we're going to keep getting generic police procedural thrillers, directors should strive for what Damián Szifron delivers with To Catch a Killer. Not always indicative of his talents, but there is a noteworthy pulpy flavor here. #FilmSky More: letterboxd.com/kriegs/film/to-catch-a-killer-2023

neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks to #filmcast podcast - I'll be watching To Catch a Killer very soon. I did not know it has the same director as Wild Tales. Wild Tales has the best movie opening ever. You know you are in for a treat after Pasternak then it sticks the landing with the the wedding short.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched To Catch a Killer (1992)last night on a whim. It has a terribly generic name but it might be the best made-for-TV movie I’ve ever seen? It’s absolutely incredible. It’s an absolute crime that more people don’t know about this movie. Haven’t stopped thinking about it since.
positive · AI labelView post →One of the great joys of cinema is the depth of character that great actors bring to even the briefest roles. This is Chip Chuipka, who plays Jim Lassky in our film TO CATCH A KILLER, delivering a lifetime's wisdom, warmth & regret in a single scene. What's your favourite one-scene role in a film?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched another disappointment: To Catch a Killer (2023). 📽️ Watch Szifron's Wild Tales (Relatos Salvajes) instead. boxd.it/4MoViN
negative · AI labelView post →Sitting down to watch Robots, mostly because I'm genuinely curious whether it's possible for Shailene Woodley to be in a worse film than To Catch a Killer this year.
negative · AI labelView post →To Catch a Killer Directed by Damián Szifron; starring Shailene Woodley, Ben Mendelsohn; written by Damián Szifron, Jonathan Wakeham A troubled police officer joins the FBI to help track down a ruthless killer. Clever script with original main characters, giving Woodley and Mendelsohn the opportunity to show their range. The direction and production design however fail to deliver a distinct tone that would elevate the film. Rating: C+ #ToCatchAKiller #Misanthrope #MovieReview #Movies

neutral · AI labelView post →"To Catch a Killer" was a mediocre but fine movie for like 2/3 of it, then decided on its own to become a mad, forgettable movie in the final 1/3.
negative · AI labelView post →If you liked Sicario, it is a pretty safe bet you'd like To Catch a Killer. That film deserved way more attention than it got, especially for its performances. Woodley and Mendo are magnificent.
positive · AI labelView post →I'll look for it, I was only watching 'Dexter Resurrected' so far. My sweet spot is a film on Netflix, 'To Catch A Killer', which is great and not as namby as the name implies.
positive · AI labelView post →This was such a weird film. Some of the scenes were so slow and careful, but then whole plot points seemed to happen off-screen? I feel like maybe a half-hour of the movie was either cut out or not filmed at all. I recommend "To Catch A Killer" as another compelling yet off-kilter movie!

neutral · AI labelView post →To Catch a Killer is a solid movie. Brutal at times. Methodical but un predictable at key moments. I can usually figure these things out. No such luck this time.
positive · AI labelView post →“To Catch a Killer” on Netflix is a movie filled with tremendous talent — yet is… so bad. But bad in a strangely comforting throwback way. Wonder if that’s intentional.
negative · AI labelView post →To Catch a Killer 👍 Much better movie for Shailene Woodley. Great chemistry from the actors, decent story.
positive · AI labelView post →If there was ever a movie I could recommend to you, that will make you uncomfortable no matter what your political stances are, To Catch a Killer, is that movie. It handles politics very well. A full display of, during a crisis, the conversation of politics will always get in the way.
positive · AI labelView post →So the film To Catch A Killer (2023) on Netflix is set in Baltimore but NOT FILMED HERE. WTF?? The streets, skyline and buildings were wrong, except for the opening scene (stock footage?). And no one in Maryland would ever say "down state" to refer to somewhere in the state. Do better.
negative · AI labelView post →Just watched To Catch A Killer, and it's a damned depressing movie. Not sure what to think about it, except I need to watch something funny now.

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation: 'To Catch a Killer' on Netflix. The cinematography is great for the genre and Shaeline Woodley is awesome but it is disjointed in figuring out what exactly it is. Good, fun thriller though and I quite enjoyed it. It is VERY graphic and viewer discretion is advised.
positive · AI labelView post →Home for the Holidays isn't available to stream anywhere so Maryland will be represented by the Shailene Woodley serial killer film, To Catch a Killer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, admittedly, “To Catch a Killer” is an equally generic sounding, almost Lifetime movie kind of title. It’s just that it’s about a dark enough subject, and a real serial killer, that the idea of a Rifftrax version seemed really odd.
neutral · AI labelView post →Btw, this film is terrific. Kudos to Shailene Woodley and full cast + crew. #ToCatchAKiller is available now via #HULU variety.com/2023/film/re...

positive · AI labelView post →Hmmmm, are we to believe that perpetual 16-year-old hippie Shailene Woodley is a cop then #film #filmastodon #ToCatchAKiller
negative · AI labelView post →TO CATCH A KILLER is way better than I expected with its TV-movie-ass title and marketing. It makes a good argument for the continued existence of the feature procedural by making it feel fully cinematic throughout, genuinely distinct from a well-produced TV cop series.
