This is quite good, I was interested in the story of a real female serial killer so I rented this out and the script/story and performances were very well done.

Unbelievable performance by Charlize Theron. She deserved the Oscar.
Stunning. The movie captures your attention right from the start, and really takes you into the mind of Ailleen Wuornos. The film is more of a love story gone wrong, but the film really captures the side of Ailleen no one believes or wanted to believe. The way the film is shot, and the locations, really give it the feel of the actual time she was killing. What amazes me, is that Charlize Theron can look like what she does in this movie. Charlize is young, and she is made out to be a white-trash hooker. The film is definately one of the best of the year, and the movie is just so emotionally wrapping.
The plot, was really well written, and from what i believe alot of it came from letters from Ailleen to her closest friend (not Selby). What I liked ws that Ailleen wanted to get out of the hooking buisness and try to make a better life for herself and Selby, but somehow got Selby wrapped up in it.
The acting was superb. Nothing in this movie stands out like Charlize Theron does. She changed her voice, look, everything to be the perfect Ailleen Wuornos, and succeeds. Christina Ricca also delivers a thriving performence as the supporting actor, that is nothing short of heart-warming.
Overall "Monster" is bloody brilliant, and Is a must see before you die. My rating is 5/5.
