"So I made a deal. I said God I gotta spend this 5 bucks but when it's gone so am I, so, if you got something for me in this life you better bring it on, and there she was." – Aileen Wuornos

Why watch this? Charlize Theron proves that she can method act. Wow!

Plot Summary: Based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, the film explores the life of a prostitute who becomes a serial killer. After years of abuse and hardship, Aileen finds love with Selby, a young woman who offers her a glimpse of hope and companionship. However, Aileen struggles to maintain a legitimate life, and when confronted with violence from a client, she makes a desperate decision that spirals into a series of murders.

Dad's Preview: In one of filmdom's great actress transformations, Theron literally becomes Aileen Wuornos - the poor, rough, damaged prostitute who murdered several of her male clients in the late '80s. This film is painful to watch as her past always resurfaces to block any attempt she makes to go straight. Things predictably spiral downward. This film won numerous awards including Theron's well-deserved Oscar for Best Actress.
