Very interesting (and excellent) cast. Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, Jeff Daniels, and Guy Pierce all step outside their general wheel houses and bring together a wonderful performance about a true chain of events that unfolded during World War II.

As a Red Sox fan I had a general idea of the story surrounding Moe Berg, but I was enlightened about several different elements of the story by the movie and even more so I was driven to do additional research and found out even more information about this unheralded American Hero.

If you're looking for an action romp this isn't where you'll find it. This is a movie that will capture your imagination and you will almost forget that this is all based on a true story.

For a movie a based on a true story its not a bad movie about three friends since childhood who save the lives of not only theirs and there fellow train passengers from a lone terrorist on route to paris. The movie starts slow as we see there lives leading up too that fateful day all three of them play themselves which is only right no else could have played well clint eastwood directs with his usual style. Deffo watch again

When I learned that Michelle Hoover based this historical fiction novel on a true family story about two girls who suddenly disappeared from their rural family home, I knew I had to read it. Find out why I have this book a strong four out of five stars in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/04/25/the-lost-and-what-they-find/

Can you really know someone after writing a few letters? This was an interesting film based on a true story of a woman who believed she had found her true love. the fact he was in prison for murder did not faze her and she was determined to have him released. She contacts two writers to investigate his case to try and get him freed. I really wanted to find out whether he was innocent or not and the twists and turns keep you gripped throughout. Very compelling.

This series was incredible. The cast was phenomenal and it all being based on a true story was what really made it worth watching. I wasn't alive when Waco happened. I have never really known much about the situation so to watch this and not only learn but to see what happened? It was amazing. I definitely recommend watching this series!

Overall, and interesting and entertaining film based on the true story of the youngest hustler/drug dealer/FBI Informant. Sadly, the trailers were better than the film. There were a lot of other random actor that didn't actually do much for the story, i.e. Jennifer Jason Leigh. Matthew McConaughey's part was smaller than advertised, I imagine he was used to sell the film, heck, it got me in the seat.
