TL;DR

Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon star in "Boston Strangler," a retelling of the true crime story of the US serial killer who murdered 13 women in Boston during the early 1960s. The film focuses on the role of two female journalists who first named the killer and forced authorities to take notice. However, the film lacks dramatic excitement and macabre horror, leaving the chill of fear missing.
