Search - The Versace Murder on DVD

Movie miserable, Matt Servitto excellent

"I though this movie was truly dreadful however, I would like to make honorable mention of Mr. Matt Servitto who played one of the victims. His performance, although brief, was a tour de force. I recommend fast forwarding to his scene and then moving on to your next video. I predict he will be a substantial star someday."

Too bad for TV

"THE VERSACE MURDER was originally planned to air as a US made-for-TV movie, but the plan was nixed quite possibly because of the shoddy execution of the film. While the excellent techno-rock score by ex-Goblin member Claudio Simonetti and the performance of lead Franco Nero can make the film watchable for some, the rest of the participants are terrible. Model-turned-actor Shane Perdue, who plays Cunanan, is embarrassingly impossible to watch. Initial reports suggested that director Menahem Golan was seeking to avoid exploitation, but instead the film seems to be nothing but. There seems to be little concern on the part of the filmmakers to tell the story with class and quality. Buy the soundtrack CD to obtain the film's best element and skip the film itself."

Poor Nero Surrounded By Amateurs

"I feel so bad for Franco Nero. He is such a talented actor and , as always, he is good in this movie. The story is good also, but the real problem is everything else. The other "actors" (with the exception of Steven Bauer) are absolutely pathetic. I've seen better acting on an episode of 'Cops'. The direction is far below sub-standard. Ed Wood would laugh at this. For fans of Nero and bad movies only."

Absolute Drivel

"Don't waste your time.An amateur night at the set, whoever though Shane Perdue (?) was a suitable actor must belong to an extraterrestrial culture. Awfully shot and written, full of loopholes and inaccuracies, even Nero looks properly embarrassed.An "Ambulance chasing" production a viewer must avoid at all costs. Ugh."
