Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

PATRICK DAN (PratikDhan) The start was awesome , there was the suspense going through till the halfway then suddenly the ending was all clearly visible to the viewers and yes it is based on a true story but who cares unless it's not an awe inspiring one, to be honest....P.S: It's watchable

Petru Tiglar The movie blew straight past my expectations of a Jonah Hill and James Franco film. It was great to see the two playing such serious roles and the two of them really did a fantastic job. I loved the movie, very deep & emotional. The story was strong and the directing was A+. I'd love to see more films like this from the two, they are remarkable characters. Great Job!

DrSoup007 My expectations of this were really high. The concept of the entire thing was really fascinating, and based on a true story no less. But it ultimately fails to do anything interesting, even once. It starts out with some really artistic and compelling visuals, and I got excited. And while Jonah Hill, James Franco, and Felicity Jones all gave good performances, each with a scene to really shine, they do very little to help the movies apparent flaws. Which is mainly it being boring. The pacing is all over the place, never rushing, but not quite dragging. The writing was so-so, and things just kinda happened, I never really cared about what was happening, who it was happening to, or why. The cinematography is clean, a very David Fincher-esqe look, but that fails to help it in anyway, as it starts to feel like a shorter, less interesting, Zodiac.

hughman55 I don't enjoy taking time out to write a review of a film that I find thoroughly without merit. But here goes. This film is about a horrific crime. A husband and father murders his wife and three children, gets caught, and attempts to place the blame on his murdered wife. He flees to Mexico where he tries to pass himself off as NY Times reporter/writer, and easily impressed sycophant, Mike Finkle. This film deals with their relationship. As one character (a relative of the murdered wife) puts it to Mr. Finkle during a trial recess, "you could have written a story about anyone and you chose him". She's right. And so this film, like the book it's based on, and the real life relationship between the cold blooded killer and the "hero" worshiping writer, falls into the narcissistic formula of being about the observers rather than the crime or it's victims. It is sickening. The screen writers inject redemptive moments into the story line which does nothing to change the fact that this film has the wrong perspective and is about all the wrong people. And instead of having a ring of truth in them they simply come off as a unnecessary confection, and an utterly distasteful device, in order to sell this bad film. I didn't buy it for a second. I really hate movies like this. It, like the book it's based on, is a vulture picking over the bones of four innocent murder victims for profit.
