A depressing real-life story. None of the description was in the movie. It shows that the police talked to him a few times but it doesn't show them providing him with fake ID to go to Vegas, or 'dating' the mayor's niece (it showed a one-time hook up). It wasn't until I came on here to rate it that I saw those things in the description and the film made a bit more sense. They just focused waaay more on this kids back story and not enough on what, how or WHY the FBI used him. I don't recommend this movie unless you want to be thoroughly depressed. NOTHING good happens in this movie, which I understand can happen in life, but I came out confused as the story was so misjointed.
Looking forward to Weekend at Bernie's 3.
Excellent acting but very depressing. Would not recommend.
NO STARS For this movie it was boring and I wish I left the theatre to get a refund
True to life things don't go as planned. Would recommend seeing WBR to friends /anyone.
Realistic! Entertaining! Dark! Excellent acting!
Sad but true story of lives gone wrong by clueless poor life decisions. Best acting you will see all year. Expect to see newcomer Bel Powley and veteran McConeghey on award lists this season.
being based on true story made it depressing and dark for me. But it is how life is for many, very realistic acting roles and sad as I felt it was, it is how many live and will continue to love. Sad. Our law enforcement officials are pathetic in this story, no empathy, no souls. good acting.
Good movie. But sad.
Debbie Downer........no light in this movie at all...... may be true but not all truth is worth spending millions to bring to the screen...
