| 08.17.05 | Netflix | This is one of those movies everybody assumes that i've already seen so i feel like i had to see it to avoid any future uncomfortable silences. It's really cool when the occasional movie comes along that actually is a true story instead of just saying it. The names haven't been changed, there's no "hollywood" ending, invented or composite characters, or inserted scenes to make things more interesting. When movies like this come along and you can trust that they are really true, the story becomes much more engaging. I can definitely see why James Woods got work after this. Not a big John Savage fan, though. |
