I think peyton list did a great job in this movie. However, it would of been better if it focused on her childhood and what lead to her being the way she is. The movie "Monster" is really great and this movie had the potential but just lacked some things. Regardless, Aileen had issues and if she would of grown up differently maybe she wouldn't of done what she did. It's interesting though watching documentaries about her and stuff. Anyways decent spin on it, but not the best.
