Hey, my first "BOMB" rating this whole year - and how fitting a recipient! I thought this sucked big time. No, not merely because as a John Lennon fan I consider it a sin that this tragic event was glorified into... Full review

This movie was just okay. Jared Leto's acting was the best part of the movie. This man's life was just not worth making a movie about. He was not interesting, and his motive for killing John Lennon was unclear. I'm glad... Full review

This movie was so so to me. I'm still trying to figure out if Jared Leto really gained all that weight for the part or not. I almost fell asleep towards the end. It was pretty drawn out.... Full review
Excellent portrayals of both Chapman and Lennon

In his latest movie, Chapter 27 , Leto gets fat and explores his inner crazy, all while speaking in a strangely stilted southern accent.
Although the movie has a few great moments, it doesn't really go anywhere.

Schaefer and Leto deserve praise for technically making a wonderful movie
Chapter 27" is as tasteful and as accurate as any movie on Mark David Chapman is ever going to get.

Even Leto, who saves the film from Chapter 11 with his notable performance, is likely to walk away with nothing more than a bad case of the gout.
Of course, the filmmakers were tiptoeing around making such a notorious killer seem mildly sympathetic, but it wouldn't have hurt anyone's memory to give us a little character development.

Chapter 27 is far from flawless, but Leto disappears inside this angry
Chapter 27 mirrors the three-day span of The Catcher in the Rye , the novel Chapman regards as his assassin's handbook.

| Mar 28, 2008Premiere Magazine
Visually ugly, morally non-existent and a complete black hole in the departments of insight and wit, Chapter 27 is quite possibly the most godawful, irredeemable film to yet emerge in the 21st century.
In the most repellent scene, he meets little Sean Lennon and his governess.
