Top Critic Renner?s face is chillingly unemotive, yet he communicates a great deal in his performance. See it for his performance if nothing else.

Director David Jacobson gives Dahmer a consideration that the murderer never game his victims.

Does what should seem impossible: it makes serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer boring.
11/24/02
Renner carries much of the film with a creepy and dead-on performance.
11/17/02
Since Dahmer resorts to standard slasher flick thrills when it should be most in the mind of the killer, it misses a major opportunity to be truly revelatory about his psyche.

It's not that "Dahmer" was a bad film, which it certainly wasn't, but it was a pointless one that was more unsettling than informative or penetrating.

Writer-director David Jacobson and his star, Jeremy Renner, have made a remarkable film that explores the monster's psychology not in order to excuse him but rather to demonstrate that his pathology evolved from human impulses that grew hideously twisted.

Top Critic It's shocking, intense, and totally creepy, yet compelling and sad. Jeremy Renner gives a career-making performance.
