In some ways, this felt like an unaired episode of Mindhunter - though it lacked the polish of that show.
Luke Kirby delivers the most authentic portrayal of Ted Bundy on film. He not only eerily resembled Bundy, but had his mannerisms and speech down too. His chemistry with Elijah Wood as FBI agent Bill Hagmeier was solid, though the film didn't offer much more than that.
It was literally just two guys talking at a table, without any real startling or dramatic conclusions or observations. Various montages occasionally interrupted proceedings, but they felt cheap and jarring in style.
While No Man of God may fill the void for those missing the likes of Mindhunter, it fails to deliver the impact needed. It could have been so much more. Instead, despite strong performances, it will no doubt be relegated to just another entry in the already over-populated Bundy film canon.
