"Based on a true story," but leaving out so much to make all those involved look better.
It made headlines nationwide, a San Antonio cop who was not a vigilante, but a serial killer. Vigilante means killing criminals, and most assume it's revenge for murder. This murderer killed anyone he assumed was a criminal, usually over petty crimes. A kid stealing car stereos. A streetwalker. A guy buying drugs. Not a dealer among them. Not a murderer.
And then he threatened to kill the DA. And the mayor. And the chief of police. And they all knew about his killings and did nothing until he threatened them.
Three police chiefs were fired for refusing to do anything. All of this is left out.
Plus they even try to make the serial killer sympathetic instead of the psycho he was.
Good in its technical aspects but the story is so misleading.
