Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The grainy texture of the imagery is darkly arresting. Isaiah Washington is charismatic and fearsome, channeling a toxic mix of compassion and rage.
Fresh: Don't miss it.
Fresh: May be a frustrating film for viewers looking for a straight piece of historical fiction...This is no photograph, but an impressionistic sketch of the communicability of evil - and in that respect it's a powerful piece of filmmaking.
Rotten: Despite the solid performances from Washington and Richmond, we get a little bored and begin waiting to see what will happen (or, more precisely, how the filmmakers will handle the ending) ...

WELL...
I was at the steering of "Blue Caprice" at the 2013 Deauville film festival in the presence of the director of the film and jury of the festival. I knew about the story of the DC snipers and how they killed many people. But focusing on the film I just found it so lifeless, dull, and at times, extremely slow. That being said, it is a true story and it is basically very well portrayed. Worth the rent at least. Grade: B+
Agree w/J-lhollywood above review
Anyone watching this movie already knows about the story but I'm not sure they realize how much the adult brainwashed the younger character.
In fact, parents "brainwash" children every day under the guise of 'child rearing'. And quite a few idiot parents (ok forget that angry analogy) are STILL repeating the abuse they endured as a child onto their own children. Break the cycle of abuse people!!!!! Wake up!!!! Your children are watching & listening to you. Be better parents than our's were. When you know better, you do better.
Eh
I thought this movie was going to be more emotional ....great actors... Maybe just the timing was off about
