Benjamin, of course, isn't aware of this, and he let's his friend, Lonnie, make a completely awful movie based on the story. After the premiere of this awful movie, Benjamin picks up Chevalier's new book, and realizes he stole his story.
Bronco/Brutus is played by Sam Rockwell. Rockwell does an amazing job in both the roles of Bronco and Brutus.
The whole movie is hilariously awkward.

Anyway, my interest in this story was what drove me to see this opening weekend. Also, Paul Walter Hauser was AMAZING in I, Tonya, so he was also the draw. Along with Hauser, Sam Rockwell was great. The entire cast worked, and they were entertaining to watch.
Of course, Eastwood threw shade at the FBI and the media, but, they were super shady so... yeah.

Don’t get me wrong, it was a very good film. There are some fantastic performances in it from Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell and they deserve every accolade that gets thrown at them. The rest of the supporting cast too are great, with the exception of Abbie Cornish who I really don’t rate. I know she’s Australian but her accent in this seems very changeable and atrocious.
The cinematography itself is beautiful and the plot takes some very good and unexpected twists and turns. The bits of dark humour throughout really help lift what would otherwise be a very depressing and sad film. My issue is that for me it seemed very slow paced. For me it felt like it had been on for far too long and dragged a little, but I was surprised when it finished that it had been on for less than 2 hours.
I’ll happily acknowledge that this will likely be one of the best films I’ll see in 2018, impressive as it’s only January. But I feel like I need to reserve a final judgement until after a second viewing (preferably in a nice peaceful environment - not a noisy cinema screen).

There are some times that the moving gets a bit slow, but it almost has to in order to tell the story it's conveying.
Sam Rockwell deserves far more credit that he received for his role, and Kathy Bates might have been shunned for a supporting actress award, as well as Jon Hamm for supporting actor.
If you have any interest in history or events from American (or world) history, this movie is definitely worth the time.

Taraji P. Henson is all but unrecognizable in her adaptation of a civil rights activist who's been drawn to the brink after a local school is damaged in a fire. The fire damage threatens to desegregate the schools as there aren't many options for the students, who are caught in the crossfire. What ensues is a mostly peaceful war of attrition that surprises everybody involved.
Stellar acting throughout. Based on fact. Definitely worth a watch. Without understanding our history, we are doomed to repeat it.
