Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. Reviews
Unfortunate didactic turns undercut what could have been Morris' best film yet, but his subject's disarming candor and misplaced vanity don't fail to fascinate.

Like all of Morris' films, "Mr. Death" provides us with no comfortable place to stand.

Ultimately, Leuchter comes across not as a fundamentally bad man, just a hopelessly deluded one, a technician overly impressed with his own expertise and infallibility, a small figure blindly sucked into the vortex of consummate evil...

Morris, com sua habilidade narrativa habitual, conta a interessante mas incmoda histria de um homem destrudo pela prpria ignorncia.

Despite its morbid subject, this documentary is far funnier than one would expect.

As Errol Morris shows us how this strange little man got into the execution business and Holocaust denial, we should ask ourselves: Did we create 'Mr. Death'? Is he us?
