As I watched this movie all I could think about is why it focused on the story of Michael Finkel and not Longo. Jonah Hill played Finkel well enough, but the character was flatly written I feel. The most interesting part about him was in the first 5 minutes of the film.
Longo was played by James Franco, nuanced and slightly creepy. He left you not knowing if he really did it or not. Clearly the more interesting story was his, but it was not really explored until the literal last 20 minutes of the movie.
The story felt rushed and not particularly noteworthy. If you like a dramatic performance by Franco go see this movie. Otherwise there is no harm waiting until it comes out on Netflix soon.
I give this movie 4 proton torpedoes out of 20
