Most movies that say they are based on a true story are extremely loosely based on said story. Obviously, some of this story was "Hollywooded", but the fact that the real life characters were incorporated was definitely reason to believe that it was pretty close to what really happened. I think that this style of moviemaking, weaving a documentary into a feature film, is the future of movies that are based on real events. This film is captivating and definitely worth a watch. It won't win an Oscar, but it had me zoned in from beginning to end.
