In Cold Blood

I first heard of the Clutter's when I read Truman Capote's non-fiction novel. The story fascinated me so much that I went on to see the movies "Capote" and "Infamous", both of which were more satisfying than this remake. It could have been very insightful and beautiful as it was well casted and interesting, unfortunately, it didn't evoke as much emotion as "Capote". It seemed as though as soon as we were getting to know Perry, he and Dick were being executed. Perry is probably the most interesting character, as he is a genuine person that did an unthinkable thing, this is what I think of when I think of the Clutter murders and Truman Capote's brilliant work of art. I would have liked to have seen Perry reflected in the light that is thought-provoking and serious. In "In Cold Blood", this image of Perry was only vaguely hinted upon. With a longer runtime, I believe this film could have been quite spectacular.
