Phenomenal film with phenomenal actors
I had no idea that it was based on a true story, but nevertheless if you are looking for a Chinese film that totally knocks your socks off, I recommend this film.

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.
