Chapter 27 is a dark and disturbing story of Mark David Chapman and what could've led him to the encounter of the legendary John Lennon on the fateful weekend of December 8, 1980. Chapter 27 stars pretty boy Jared Leto as the overweight Chapman. The transformation from Leto to Chapman is startling and amazing all together. Leto himself gives an outstanding performance and if this film were to come out more near Oscar season he would most certainly receive a nomination. The movie is incredibly disturbing and hard to watch. The movie runs for an hour and forty minutes which is not too long and not too short but just perfect enough to capture the true feel of what happened on that weekend and how easily Chapman could've wrestled down his demons and gotten back on the plane to Hawaii. But unfortunately, we all know how this sad story ends. Now there were some things about Chapter 27 that frustrated me. For instance, the story becomes too repetitive and doesn't expand on the pshycological motivation of Mark David Chapman. With just a little more insight on the thoughts of his pshycee, Chapter 27 could've even been better. This is a deserving and respectful story of the infamous murder of one of the most famous singers and activists of all time.
