I Got a Monster (2023). 1h 30m

“u0026quot;I Got a Monsteru0026quot; was a highly disappointing documentary that promised to delve into a fascinating and complex story of police corruption, but instead delivered a sensationalized and shallow portrayal of events. While the subject matter is undoubtedly important, the filmmakers seemed more interested in exploiting it for entertainment value rather than providing any meaningful insights or perspectives.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe pacing of the documentary was slow and tedious, with long stretches of talking head interviews that failed to offer any new or interesting information. The editing was choppy and disjointed, making it difficult to follow the timeline of events and keep track of the various players involved. The music was also poorly chosen and often intrusive, adding to the overall sense of disjointedness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePerhaps most frustratingly, the documentary lacked any real depth or nuance in its exploration of the issues at hand. The filmmakers seemed content to present a one-sided and simplified version of events, failing to engage with the complexities and gray areas of the story. The result was a film that felt shallow and unsatisfying, failing to do justice to the importance and complexity of the subject matter.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, I would not recommend u0026quot;I Got a Monsteru0026quot; to anyone looking for a thoughtful and well-made documentary. While the story of police corruption is undoubtedly an important one, this film fails to offer anything new or meaningful to the conversation. Instead, it comes across as a cheap attempt at exploitation, more interested in entertainment value than in truly grappling with the issues at hand.”
