Boston Strangler landed on Disney+ possibly last month or the middle of March when it was released Stateside by Hulu.
The historical crime drama film written and directed by Matt Ruskin, is based on the true story of the Boston Strangler.
Viewers head to Boston in the 1960's, where the strangler killed 13 women.
With a killer cast lead by Keira Knightley as Loretta McLaughlin, Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, Chris Cooper, David Dastmalchian, and Morgan Spector.
Loretta McLaughlin is the reporter who broke the news for the Boston Record American. We see Knightley go from reviewing toasters and other lifestyle news to reporting on a serial killer.
To be honest, this was a damn fine quality film. Very cinema like. This is where cinema's are starting to have a problem. Yes there is the current Guardians film, Fast X on the way along with other blockbusters set to hit the big screen. However for dramas like this, you can easily sit back at home and enjoy the film at your desired time, at your desired pace.
Loretta and Jean Cole are two women on a mission in solving the case of the Boston Strangler. The pace of the film is decent with the run time hovering under the two hour mark.
Disney+ have some damn quality content right about now. With a new Aussie series The Clearing commencing soon, the latest Ant Man film incoming along with loads more current and incoming content.
Boston Strangler follows the typical historical crime film, however it is never too violent or over the top.
Ahead of the end credits we learn, Loretta becoming an award-winning medical reporter at The Boston Globe. Jean continued working as an investigative reporter for 30 years. She and Loretta remained close friends.
Marsh was never charged with murder. Nassar never received a reward and is incorrectly said to still be in prison as of 2023. In 2013, DNA evidence linked DeSalvo to the 13th murder but not the other 12.
I give this at home film, 3 Stars.
