Very amateurish
“Boneyard,” starring Mel Gibson and 50 Cent, attempts to dramatize the true story of a serial killer but falls remarkably short. The film suffers from an amateurish execution, burdened by a dreadful script and inept direction. The acting is uniformly poor, with even Gibson unable to elevate the material beyond mediocrity. Distracting and inappropriate music frequently overpowers the dialogue, further detracting from the viewing experience. One has to question how such an ill-conceived project ever secured funding. “Boneyard” is a stark example of squandered potential in filmmaking, serving more as a cautionary tale of what not to do than a compelling narrative. It leaves viewers wondering about the standards and decision-making processes behind its production.

Dull and lifeless
Yet another geezer teaser.

Gibson here looking like he walked on set after spending the morning drinking at the local dive bar. 50 Cent plays a police chief and mumbles through all his lines as fast as possible to collect a paycheck. Yet despite that they are the two best parts about this. Whenever they aren’t on screen this drags and feels like an episode of CSI or some cop procedural that accidentally got made into a movie.

Guarantee this will be streaming for free on Tubi by the end of the year. You’re better off watching this that way don’t waste your money on this. Gibson and 50 Cent deserve better.

Misconstrued
I live in Albuquerque and have followed and researched this particular case pretty closely with all available evidence and theories from other researchers and people.

This movie is nothing more than a imaginary tale developed by a Hollywood up and coming that wants to debut his craft.

The beginning, or the discovery of the crime scene was legitimate. It was a woman walking her dog beside an up subdivision at which the dog uncovers a human bone(femur bone) and the dogs owner who was a nurse was able to identify it as human and alert the authorities.

The remains of 11 women and a fetus were discovered buried in shallow graves in a certain area of the west mesa area of Albuquerque NM.

Something that was left out that was pretty important to the case was how the review of satellite images of the particular area of the west mesa between the the year of 2004 to 2009 showed the appearance of tire tracks and what appeared to be graves on the very lot of land that these bodies were discovered at in 2009. The interesting part is how the tracks increased in length off the desert dirt road and the number of supposed graves grew from one set of satellite images to the next. That development was conveniently left out of the movie which is sad.

Furthermore the actual suspects in the case were completely different than those portrayed in the movie as well as the events and characters that led to the narrowing down to the final suspects.

So this movie is pretty much a Hollywood caricature of what really happened in the high desert New Mexico city of Albuquerque. And it’s unfortunate because it is basically a fictional exploitation of the victims of the West Mesa Bone Collector and their demise.
