In a word: creepy.
‘The Riverman’ tells the story of the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy (played here by Cary Elwes), on death row for his crimes. He reaches out to criminal profiler Bob Keppel (Bruce Greenwood) to tell him that he may have insight into the series of “Green River” killings that were plaguing Seattle. Sometimes working the case with a stressed-out detective (Sam Jaeger), Keppel sits down with Bundy for a series of interviews.Stories like ‘The Riverman’ (based on a non-fiction book co-authored by Keppel) aren’t for everybody, since they make us get to know sick minds better than most of us would really want to. But, on that level, it can be fascinating, as we learn from both Keppel and Bundy some ideas about those deviants walking among us: how they select victims, their ways of justifying their actions, etc. This being a made-for-TV movie, it refrains from showing much of the graphic violence that turns off some viewers. But, as directed by Bill Eagles, this solid film is a good case study in both pervasive atmosphere and subtlety. Characters like the real-life Keppel are now familiar to any viewer who’s watched their fair share of yarns about serial killers: they become haunted individuals. Indeed, we get a sense of the toll that Keppels’ line of work has taken on his home life.
The wonderful Kathleen Quinlan is typically great in support, even if she’s obliged to play a kind of standard-issue “concerned spouse / partner” type of character. Jaeger is okay, but he’s outshone by the more interesting Greenwood and especially the riveting Elwes, who’s rarely been as good as he is here. The face-offs / conversations between Bundy and Keppel provide an effective foundation on which to build this picture. Also good in a supporting role is David Lawrence Brown; he plays the off-putting Gary Ridgway, the man who would be identified as the Green River killer decades later (thanks to improved forensic technology).
This is definitely the kind of movie that stays with you after it’s over.
Filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Superb acting by Cary Elwes and Bruce Greenwood
I just saw this on TV from about the halfway point only, but was familiar with the plot from my reading. I’m anxious to see it again. I thought Cary Elwes BECAME Ted Bundy in a way that was eerie and absolutely impressive. Bruce Greenwood had a part that could have been mundane, but his tremendous depth as an actor turned it into a disturbing and memorable role. And I thought their joint scenes were .. well, completely intense — contrary to the lead-in review from IMDb. Greenwood has always been one of my favorites, but I found Elwes a bit more of a surprise. Would recommend this to acting classes everywhere and to anyone who can withstand an in-depth look at psyches that are way outside normal boundaries.
