Title: BUD BUNDY CHOKES
Review: This "untold story" of Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be The Boston Strangler suggests that Desalvo really wasn't guilty and was merely a conman and pervert. It has been assumed that Desalvo was not the Strangler due to evidence collected later and the case remains unsolved.David Faustino (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN) is miscast as Desalvo. His perfomance is a caricature of method acting with little polish or maturity. I just didn't find him convincing at all. Ditto to Andrew Divoff as the world-weary detective, Kostas Sommer as Desalvo's co-conspirator and possibly more, and Corin Nemec's turn as the sheisty lawyer. Writer/director Michael Feifer has little artistic vision or sense of creativity. He offers an alternate theory but doesn't commit to exploring or exposing the alternative strangler.Overall, an interesting premise lost in a dull execution.
