Synopsis:

No one really knew him. Not local politicians awed by his “Kennedy-like” presence. Not the coeds he charmed. And when the nation found out who Ted Bundy was, it was too late to save the lives of innocent young women nationwide. Mark Harmon (NCIS) portrays serial killer Bundy in a movie that’s harrowing as only true-life crime sagas can be. Seattle reporter Richard W. Larsen’s book Bundy: The Deliberate Stranger provides the basis for this startling portrait of an elusive killer, who was finally tried and executed in 1989. Nerve-frayed investigators (Frederic Forrest, M. Emmet Walsh and others) detect a pattern in the victims’ deaths and ultimately arrest Bundy – who escapes twice! He resurfaces in Florida. And before the modern era’s most desperate manhunt closes in, he strikes again.

Disc 2 had "disc error" twice at the same spot, was sent back to beginning of disc. On the third time, I ejected the disc and put it back in and it worked.

Delivery was in excellent timing for gifts.

Comments about Deliberate Stranger, The (2 DVD Set):

In light of Mark Harmon's career, it's interesting to see him as a charming and heartless killer in this film early in his career. Ted Bundy -- the killer he portrays -- is a fascinating and terrifying character. The fact that this really happened is terrifying.

This movie is just good as I remember from watching it on TV in the 80's. Maybe better because this time around there were not commercials. Mark Harmon did an outstanding job of protraying Ted Bundy.
