Synopsis:

 

Truman Capote (Hoffman), during his research for his book In Cold Blood, an account of the murder of a Kansas family, the writer develops a close relationship with Perry Smith, one of the killers.

 

Brian's Rating: C- : Somehow this movie was nominated for awards.  I can't imagine why as it had less entertainment value than watching my Roomba scurry about the house.

The movie was about the author Truman Capote as he researched and delivered his most famous novel, "In Cold Blood".  I have read the book, and the book was a very well written account of a pair of murders killing a wealthy farm family in Kansas.  The book was good.  The movie was not.

Mostly, I found it just boring.  Almost nothing happens, and there was little to nothing that was thought provoking.  Phillip Seymore Hoffaman, as always, does a top notch job acting as Truman Capote, but aside from that, there is little reason to watch this film.
