Good. Watch.
Christina Ricci and Charlize Theron having lesbian sex a turn off? You'll believe it possible.
Theron is Wuornos, from speech to facial expressions, to body language. Excellent performance too.

A few problems though: -
1) The last killing screams of the studio changing circumstances to avoid getting the ass sued off them.
2) The "confession" speech, where Selby traps Aileen into admitting the crimes, is NOT the confession that occurred in real life. This screams of Hollywood manipulation to garner sympathy for Wuornos.
3) All blokes in Authority are b@stards. Straight from the Spike Lee school of broad brush strokes.
I watched a pirate. I have the utmost belief that Wurnos case was unfair, Jeb Bush refused to lift the death penalty for her, and she was clearly mentally unwell when she is interviewed by a documentary filmmaker after her 12-minute psychological interview before her execution. Lots of controversy surrounded the original case, where police and other people related to the case tried to sell the movie rights (I assume the movie rights of the movie I watched) and Wuornos was convinced that evidence and her trials were suppressed / influenced for the desire for third parties to make money out of her story.
They are not making any money out of me, out of respect for Wuornos and the miscarriage of justice she suffered.
[edit]The "Monster" title of the movie is not a reference to Wuornos.

I want to see this film - I saw the documentary on the real woman, and she scared the hell out of me. lost the plot completely.
Sagacious One for notable.
I've seen Nick Broomfield's two documentaries about her.
She should not have been killed, she was absolutely not in her right mind.
Haven't seen the film because I'm just wary of Hollywood doing one of those "True Story!!!" biopics, however sincere their intentions.
It's just the glorification and revelling in misery for, what I feel is, pornographic entertainment.
But that's just my opinion.

Haven't seen either the film or the docu yet, but I've read quite a bit about the case. For her crimes, well to be honest I'm inclined to think she deserved punished by life in prison or death. And I think death is kinder.
But evil? If she was evil, then she was made that way by being abused, raped, and generally tortured by people in her life whom she should have been able to trust. I feel incredibly sorry for her, and though I think her execution was the best for all concerned, the reasons for it happening were wrong.

B@ll@cks. She was mentally unwell. I think years of systematic sexual and physical abuse, along with being ostracised at thirteen when she gave birth would be difficult enough, but it was being tortured by a john when she was hooking that tipped her over the edge.
Her crimes cannot be excused, but she was executed as a political sacrificial pawn.
