McVeigh’s ominous atmosphere is omnipresent, clinging to Timothy like a dog to a bone.

These films have sometimes been accused of exploitation, but the time is more than right for a movie like “McVeigh,” which records how its subject’s descent into terrorism was propelled by the ideas of the new right-wing zealotry.

... establishes an underlying tension as it moves toward an inevitable outcome, but doesn’t provide much fresh perspective on the broader underground radicalization of ideological extremists or fringe groups, despite the contemporary parallels.

Mike Ott succeeds in avoiding the glorification of Timothy McVeigh, but in doing so, he also sacrifices emotional investment, resulting in a film that, while thought-provoking, often feels distant and difficult to watch.

McVeigh is a tough sell, and far from “entertaining.” But as a snapshot of a reprehensible human being, it’s an effective and upsetting reflection of the way things were in America, and continue to be.

Well-made, in the sense that the dialogue and behavior is all credible, the performances are good, and the imagery is consistently bleakly handsome.

I really don’t see the point of this, unless it is to make McVeigh out to be a mindless drone who smokes a lot of cigarettes and is still someone no one seemed to really know, it showed nothing of interest. It honestly makes him seem like more of a patsy if this is all they could gather for material to base a movie on, or maybe this is just a really bad movie. Might have been better as a fictitious work.

Slow, monotonous, boring as hell. Offers nothing in the way of historical content. It's just miscast actors sitting in the dark, not talking. You can trash this film for being boring and poorly made or you can trash this film for not really giving any perspective or insight into Timothy McVeigh, take your pick..

This crime movie was terrible. Alfie Allen, Brett Gelman, Ashley Benson, Tracy Letts, Anthony Carrigan, and the rest of the cast did a terrible job in this movie. This true story about the psycho Tim McVeigh, the man responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing was tedious and pathetic. This movie should've been more about Tim and the FBI capturing him. Not just about Tim. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it.

This movie didn't care to portray geographical accuracy. Filmed around Covington, KY, and that area looks nothing like Oklahoma and Kansas, where McVeigh spent his days before the bombing. The movie was slow and did little to portray McVeigh's background in the film. Do not pay to watch this film. Watch one of the documentaries on Hulu or HBO I stead.
