Peter G. (247 KP) rated Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
Didn't think this movie would amount to much and was pleasantly surprised by the story which was cleverly marketed as based on true events.
All here are amazing with stand outs from Harrelson and McDormand who are both very believable and their characters fleshed out.
A little uneven in places, but the story telling is still quite compelling.

MissCagey (2652 KP) rated The Monuments Men (2014) in Movies
Jul 25, 2018
I can't say this is the most exciting film, I think there could have been more action, but it is based on a true story and the cast is decent. A bit confusing at times as the men are split into couples which go off separately to explore but nevertheless I was unaware of the real "Monuments Men" and found the story to be interesting.

Down the river
Been meaning to see for a while but can't say it particularly grabbed me. Based on a true story of a skier who got injured and begins a high stakes poker game.
I like poker but it doesn't actually feature much on the poker games. More of a biography of her. Not the most interesting story, one for Jessica Chastain fans.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Hotel Mumbai (2019) in Movies
Sep 27, 2019
Intense true story thriller
I caught a few trailers for this Sky original production a while back and it looked very promising. Based on true events of terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008, largely centered around the Taj Hotel.
The film is pretty straightforward in just depicting what happend on the night, although how much of the film is dramatised or true is hard to guess. It mainly seems to follow in line with news coverage at the time. It's interesting to offer an insight into the bravery of the staff and guests there in a shocking situation. Films based on true events can be tricky as you already know the outcome. Still it does well to create tension and build up the characters a little bit.

Tom Hanks appears again in Captain Phillips, following a ship’s crew as they try to survive being boarded by pirates. Based on a true story, this is an emotionally charged film with an incredibly tense atmosphere.
