About this movie

James Franco and Jonah Hill star in this taut thriller from writer-director Rupert Goold, based on Michael Finkel’s chilling, real-life story.

But as time goes on, Finkel realizes how dangerous Longo really is.

Ratings and reviews

The beginning is great, yet True Story grinds to halt towards the halfway point. When you think something is going to happen, there is no real pay off, and it just ends on an ambiguous note.

No English subtitles for foreign languages!! And I bought this movie! Not happy

Holds you to the end. Could not look away.
