4 1/2 stars Super Sleeper Movie
Best Buy, you need to allow reviewers to use half stars instead of only full stars when we are rating a product! True Story is based on a true story. I really wanted to see this in theaters but it had a limited release and none of the theaters running the film were near me. That aside, this is a fantastic movie! I think many people look at Jonah Hill and James Franco and think comedy, and sice this is a drama, it was overlooked. These guys killed it! Franco portrayed the serial killer in a goosebump chilling way that you will not soon forget, and Hill didn't miss a beat. The plus is the price. For such a new movie, it's a steal!

True Story Blu-ray Disc 2015
"Sometimes the truth is not believable but it does not mean it is not true." Mike Finkel (Hill) is an important and respected journalist for the New York Times. After a story he wrote is exposed as not true his like is ruined. While trying to decide what to do next, he receives a call saying that a man named Christian Longo (Franco) killed his wife and children and said his name was Mike Finkel. After traveling to meet Christian, Mike decides to write a book with and about him, while at the same time trying to decide if Christian is innocent or if he really did do the horrible things he is accused of. This is a flat out an amazing movie. The acting is great, as expected, but the fact that this is a true story makes it that much more engrossing. You spend the entire movie wondering, as Mike does, about Christian's story. One minute you think he is innocent, and the next you think he is guilty. The constant flip-flopping last until the very end of the movie and that also keeps you absorbed in what you are watching. This is a movie I could go on and on about, but I will just end with watch this. Right now. Overall, a flat out a terrific movie that will keep you engrossed and involved all the way to the end. I loved it. I easily give this an A+.
