Tentang film ini

James Franco and Jonah Hill star in this taut thriller from writer-director Rupert Goold, based on Michael Finkel’s chilling, real-life story. After a disgraced New York Times journalist (Hill) learns that Christian Longo, a man accused of murdering his family, claims to be him, he is intrigued and begins meeting with Longo. But as time goes on, Finkel realizes how dangerous Longo really is.

From the get go, Jonah Hill is both hard to watch and listen to in this role. He's already saddled with a grating voice that sounds more female than male - which in itself is unpleasant in it's airy, nasal tone. But combined with his own apparent physical discomfort with his increasingly massive girth, he delivers a constrained and rigid performance physically. Clearly uncomfortable in his own skin, he relays the same to the viewer with a complete disconnect between intent and delivery, physically.

Wow.....never thought how great the movie would be but they had good actors playing. Im a fan of Seth Green James Franco Johan Hill. They know how to make someone laugh and how to kinda take things seriously.

I wanted to connect with the story. I waited for it to become something good. Even good, it would have been enough to overlook its shortcomings. It ended up feeling like fragments of other films, like I was constantly expecting something other than what I was watching, and it wasn't really clear until the end that this film just isn't much at all.
