Även om man redan känner till några av turerna är filmen stundtals spännande på riktigt, dessutom underhållande varje gång som den bombastiske, cyniske, självgode och ständigt lika skeptiske konstkritikern Jerry Saltz yttrar sig.

...precis vad man kommit att förvänta sig av välproducerade true crime-dokumentärer: skickligt spänningsbygge, oväntade vändningar, snyggt foto och dramatiska stråkar.
