Thought-provoking, but warning: somewhat sad and painful. Discredited reporter who is eager for redemption, sets out to write the tell-all book about the death-row man who (perhaps) murdered his wife and three kids. Wow! One publisher bites hard, and ponies up a $250,000 advance before the man's book's half written. But then, uh-oh...things start to go wrong...the publisher is pissed and redemption seems a lot further away than the would-be author first thought. Nice turn by Oscar nominee Jonah Hill, (War Dogs, Moneyball, Wolf of Wall Street) as the writer in question. What makes this movie MORE interesting since it was first released in 2015, is the our growing preoccupation since then of "fake news," what it is, why it is, and who's responsible, and also because co-star James Franco (the man on Heathrow) is claiming "fake news" about those reportedly suffering from his sexual harassment...
