Monster?

Monster, is a film that absolutely shocked me when I first viewed it. The unbelievable acting transformation by Charlize Theron, and Christina Ricci is phenomenal. I am not a major fan of the crime genre and some of the scenes I found a little over the top, but overall this film is extremely well put together.
Aileen Wuorons is an extremely interesting criminal character. Her ability to cope with her murderous situations is very different from usual films that depict these situations. Never did I think this film would be able to use great psychological behaviors in a very devious but pleasurable way. The fact that just the actresses were able to put on stellar academy award winning performances with these unusual characters was enough for me to thoroughly enjoy the amazing yet psychotic ride that is Monster.
For how much I did not enjoy the genre, I found this particular film to be one of the most influential films. There is very few films that I have seen that can beat this film.
Everyone needs to see this film if they enjoy the crime drama genre.
