The movie follows Detective Joe Kozenczak as he tracks down John Wayne Gacy, who raped and murdered over 30 young boys. This is the true story of how the worst mass murderer in the history of the United States was eventually brought to justice.
Lamely directed by Eric Till, whose actors often appear to wander about without understanding the real-life characters, To Catch a Killer rambles when it should rant. But crime will probably pay in the ratings.
