tcavadino Review of The Anthrax Attacks

The Anthrax Attacks (2022)

Worth watching if you hadn't heard of this case

[6/10 · 11 September 2022]

This documentary was good in highlighting the Anthrax issue as I had never heard of it before so now I have awareness. That being said, this is a long documentary which starts off really well, then feels like it is dragged out a lot. The acting for certain scenes or maybe even the whole film probably didn't need to be in there but I guess due to the doctors ending, this made sense instead of just the FBI agents monologuing. My main gripe with this film was that the apparent main motive for the doctor wasn't even revealed until the end of the film? A major clue left out seemed very silly, as I was on the fence as to whether he was guilty or not up to that point. I thought the postal employee interviews were really good and the film does leave you thinking about whether the doctor really did it at all.
