The best mini series I have ever seen! Just watch it! You won't forget it!

I'd have killed the whinging woman within the first five minutes........

Not one word throughout this entire documentary about the fact that this man was obviously suffering from mental illness. All the people interviewed wash their hands of any responsibility. All the comments are about how they did nothing wrong by him, but what about what they could have done right by him! It would have been apparent to this whole town that Heemeyer was not well, but did anyone do anything about it? No one does what he did unless you are not well and had someone put their hand out and tried to comfort him and/or help him, then things might have turned out differently. So often I see examples in the USA of how guns are considered the only way to deal with a crisis. Did anyone try to communicate with him on the day? The other reviews here just glorify the spectacle of a maniac rampaging through a town and destroying everything in his path, as if it is some action movie or video game to be admired and enjoyed. Why was there not one moment of discussion in this film about the mental illness and trauma that this man was suffering from. His recordings are a clear indicator that he was suffering from paranoia and dellusions. It is no wonder that the US is looking more and more like a failed state these days. The mentality of so many Americans beggars belief by so many around the world. This is not an action film or a video game, but a missed opportunity to explore the real reasons behind why this went so horribly wrong, and pay at least just a little respect to the man this documentary is based on.

Worth watching just to look at the two main actors who are hot, especially with their shirts off!

Starts out OK and then becomes a boring mish-mash of unintelligable arty rubbish that is a great sleeping pill!

I am about the same age as the Goss brothers, and yes, I also have experience of family tensions and sibling rivalry. But these two, and their separate talents, are just too self-absorbed to get along with anyone, most of the time, it seems I remember dancing along to their tunes when I was younger, but I always thought of them as 'One Hit Wonders'. Which is why it's great to see that they have worked hard to use their individual talents and create new careers for themselves. But I can't help but feel that moving to the States has influenced their attitudes and mind-set in some ways. They are, after all, London lads and that is a huge amount of their appeal. But the Hollywood/Las Vegas superficiality and all things spiritual in a typical California style (large crystals in Matt's house) seems to have affected their outlook and approach to the things in life that really matter. I liked the flash backs and their watching them trace back their roots in London together, but their inability to compromise with one another is frustrating. In particular, Matt appears to have been affected quite a lot by the shallow, glitzy world of LA and celebrity status, much more so than Luke. At first I thought, wait a minute, if their identical twins, why is one bald and the other one not? Of course it became obvious that Matt dons a hairpiece and struts around trying to look like someone incredibly important. He looks younger than Luke. Plastic surgery perhaps? And he behaves like a petulant spoilt brat. In some scenes he comes across like a real Prima Donna and I couldn't help but think is this just simply attention seeking. All in all, the documentary is interesting, especially if you were around in the eighties and it shows how two people who biologically couldn't be closer, but are in many ways, so far apart.
