James Franco plays the role of Christian Longo, a man accused of murdering his family.
Jonah Hill plays the role of Mike Finkel, a journalist with a failing career. Finkel agrees to
write Longo's side of the story.
These actors actually play serious roles but the movie does feel slow at times.
The ending was also a little disappointing. I must admit I was interested in finding
out what the real story was. I still found the movie intriguing, especially because it was
based on real events that occurred.
