Phenomenal film with phenomenal actors

Very short run time (0 more)
A thriller based on the true story of the Manson family's murders in the summer of '69. It feels like a cliche home invasion film. With a run time of 73 minutes it feels like half a film.

Compelling but dull
Based on the true story of rodeo riders, they took non actors and created a compelling movie which does have a lit of good traits but is just a little dull.

Weak
This one was not good. The acting and cinematography was ok. The story was weak. Supposedly based on true case, this from their was slow and boring. The plot was very predictable. Not worth a watch.

Crazy true story
The story is so silly you couldn't make it up, but it's actually true. I think I remember it on the news even here in the UK at time vaguely. Based on true events as Tonya Harding is looking to make the Olympic figure skating team. However her husband takes drastic measures to help her.
It's an interesting story with some oddball characters. Margot Robbie is very good. Enjoyable but not a film I would watch over and over.

What a remarkable story!
This story was inspiring, frustrating, frightening and at times heart warming. The fact that it was based on a true story made it even more remarkable knowing that someone lived that horror and still had the hope and faith that someday they would be allowed to live and love freely.

My All American is based on a true story of a college football hopeful turned standout who is faced with a life altering diagnosis that will change the lives of everyone around him forever.

Very strong performance by both Aaron Eckhart and Finn Whitrock (fun fact: this is the first movie that I ever saw that Finn starred in.)

I'm a sucker for a true story, especially when it involves sports. If you are, you should definitely put this film on your list.
