Definitely was somewhat informative about the subject it was covering even if it wasn’t entirely accurate

Michael Margetis

Sean Penn and especially Christopher Walken are great and give the somewhat generic plot some much need gravitas.

Loved this. Performances are top notch and story is very developed! Go track this down. It’s very worth the time.

Terrifying source material, but the filmmakers pulled punches too often. I never felt in any way distraught.

A bleak thriller. Penn and Walken give performances superbly. Screenwriting is wonderful. Foley directs with reality.

Great score tho

Actually pretty good
