"A real story with Al Pacino (no introduction needed) and Evan Peters ('X-Men: Days of Future Past'), Melanie Griffith ('Body Double') and Barkhad Abdi (Oscar-nominated for 'Captain Phillips') in the cast. The result is a fascinating movie, with an excellent performance from Peters bringing some humor and keeping us hooked. A must watch for fans of real stories and journalism in general."
