Too bad that it's dying at the box office (we were one of 9 watching in the small 55-seat theatre at our local multiplex) as most of the acting is excellent, especially the lead (Paul Walter Hauser) and his lawyer (Sam Rockwell). While I get that advance publicity cites the movie as being "Trump Republican" in attitude and viewpoint and that the AJC reporter who broke the story is depicted as a s.lut, which the AJC denies, it's a good story, and IMO, done fairly, at least as far as the Jewell characterization. The acting makes it worthwhile regardless of one's political slant. My wife and I both agreed that the only major character who came off as cartoonish was Jon Hamm's FBI agent. The film also got me wondering what the market is for fat guy leads. There aren't many opportunities for guys with Hauser's size, but the dude killed it in this role. [/QUOTE]
