As far as a movie for entertainment value goes, it is bad. But, as a true crime buff watching this movie, I will say that it is closer to fact than any other movie that tries to depict the Son of Sam. Yes, the cult scenes go a little further than they should, but it is much closer to the reality of the situation that Berkowitz was in back in 1976 than to think that a dog barked and he killed people amazingly unabated and that was conveniently it. I've discounted Maury Terry long ago, but there is too much evidence to support the fact that the NYPD knowingly let murderers free to clean their books of this lunacy. Use Terry's book as a guideline and do your own research. If you are really interested in this case, you might wonder if your 60 year old neighbor that grew up in Yonkers just might be a killer.
