What we follow throughout is witnessing Dahmer’s infamous case files unfold – the drug-induced kidnapping of a young hispanic adolescent, for example. He mutters something to the effect of “these hours will make you go crazy.” An ironic statement given the opening job scenes are where we find him at his most sane. We meet Jeffrey Dahmer (Renner) at his chocolate factory job being asked to train a transferred employee. But that news overshadows a very potent film laced with visually-arresting images and a tense story about one of the most prolific serial killers in existence. This film is now most famous for helping director Kathryn Bigelow hand-pick actor Jeremy Renner for the lead role in her film The Hurt Locker (2009). Was their father absent or abusive? Did they grow up in a strict home? Were they bullied by their peers growing up? In Dahmer, director David Jacobson uses past and present sequences to ambiguously determine Dahmer’s undoing and allow audiences to decide. One vital component attached to serial killers involves the public’s fascination with pinpointing the root cause(s) of their violent psychotic nature.
