When it’s discovered New York Times
journalist Michael Finkle has fabricated details for his latest article, he’s
fired from his job with his reputation in tatters. As he tries to reach out to
contacts in the journalism world, he learns that an accused killer has been
using his name and decides to find out why.
Christopher Longo is accused of killing his
entire family and when he agrees to meet with Michael, he says he will tell him
his story as long as Michael teaches him to write.
As a fan of Michael’s work,
Christopher sends him notes he’s made on his life and explains how he is innocent,
but as Michael becomes involved with Christopher and starts to visit him
regularly in prison, his partner Jill feels he’s becoming too involved, especially when
he begins to question whether Christopher is as innocent as he claims.
Based on a true story, I enjoyed this movie and found it really
interesting to watch. With Jonah Hill and James Franco making a good pairing, I
found myself along with Michael doubting what Christopher was saying at the
same time as feeling sorry for him and not really knowing which direction the
movie would move in.
A good watch which I wouldn’t mind watching
again.
