This film is meant to be an inside look at Mark David Chapman's thought processes and life in the 3 days leading up to his shooting of John Lennon. Jared Leto, who plays Chapman, does do a pretty remarkable job with this role in that he is so believably disturbing as a demented killer would be. He even gained 60 something pounds to fit the role. So in that case, the film seems pretty genuine.

I am not sure, however, that the world is ever truly ready to look at the evil and confusion and mis-wired brain of a man who plots to murder someone we really loved. It's just almost too disturbing and dark.

The title of the movie come from the book Catcher in the Rye, which Chapman had been reading in this 3 days while in New York, stalking John Lennon. The book has only 26 chapters.
