A Flat, Underdeveloped Thriller

"McVeigh" (2024) attempts to chronicle the descent of Timothy McVeigh into domestic terrorism, but ultimately fails to provide a compelling or insightful portrayal of its subject. Directed by Mike Ott, the film had the potential to explore the psychological and ideological motivations behind one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Instead, it delivers a hollow, underdeveloped narrative that neither informs nor engages.One of the film's biggest flaws is its lack of character development. McVeigh's disillusionment with the U. S. government-particularly his anger towards the federal response at Waco-is a crucial aspect of his radicalization, yet the movie barely touches on it. Without a deeper look into his beliefs and frustrations, McVeigh comes across as a one-dimensional figure, reducing the film's impact. The supporting characters are similarly neglected, existing only to move the plot forward rather than adding any real depth or nuance.As a thriller, McVeigh is disappointingly flat. There's little tension, and the pacing drags, making it a struggle to stay engaged. The lack of emotional weight or psychological insight leaves the film feeling empty, as though it merely goes through the motions without saying anything meaningful. Even Alfie Allen's performance as McVeigh feels restrained, likely due to the script's failure to provide any real substance for him to work with.Overall, McVeigh squanders its potential. Instead of offering a gripping or thought-provoking look at its subject, it settles for a superficial retelling that neither informs nor captivates. A film tackling such a disturbing and complex event should leave an impact-this one doesn't.

Could have been a contender

Such a poorly made film. The writing and directing in particular are truly bad. Turns out the writer and director are the same clueless man. A Mr Ott. I hope Mr Ott has a day job. Perhaps it is true that morons like McVeigh have no friends, no personality and no prospects. Mindless cowards who find purpose in hate. Yet a movie about a dull witted, friendless, stupid man does not have to be the same. This film is really boring. We gain not one ounce of insight into McVeigh. He is on the phone to somebody. A lot. We never know who. The photography is as bad as the writing. Dull shots framed in dullness. It is hard to say about the actors. They were doing what they were paid to do, which is mostly nothing. It could have been a contender, to try and give the viewers some insight into this mindless and soulless act of murder and destruction, but that did not happen. If you are looking for even the tiniest shred of insight, it is not here. I watched this turkey so you don't have to. Give it a hard pass. You will have missed absolutely nothing. I only gave it a 3 because it is, in a small and sad way, at least an effort at understanding stupid, aimless and lost men like McVeigh. But F for effort.

Predictable

Very predictable. I knew how it would end before the title card.OK, jokes aside, this movie was super flat. It left everything very 2 dimensional. Nothing felt really explored.I remember these incidents, and honestly, I feel I could have written a better movie, with more insight into the events based solely off of my recollection of the news from the event when it happened.It didn't really answer anything, and felt like it didn't even know what to ask. It was honestly boring, slow, and uninspired.I didn't go into it with high expectations, but DID know there was a rich bit of storytelling to be had here. Instead, it was barely paint by numbers regurgitation of the story.
