    I would punch this director in the face if I met him.

    How messed up is it to make a film about the death of such a legend, and create emphasis on his death not life, And to make the gut who kiled him a well known name which is what he wanted when he should just be forgotten like the fool he is.

    Interesting

    I found this surprisingly good. To the illiterate reviewer who gave it zero I would comment that as the film was titled 'The death of John Lennon' it is unlikely to focus on the work of the man...dohhhh. Also Mark Chapman will always remain well known because of the atrocity which he carried out. Give this one a try.
