POSITIVES…
The true life school embezzlement scandal is a fascinating story that this movie captures well.
Watching the rabbit hole of how bad this scandal was should keep you invested in seeing it through until the end.
Hugh Jackman is fantastic in his portrayal of Frank Tassone and is one of the main reasons to see this movie. He is quite the charismatic actor.
Seeing how Frank Tassone works his charm and wiles in getting his way with other people is incredible to watch.
Solid supporting casts with highlights by Geraldine Viswanathan, Allison Janney, Ray Romano, plus more.
Along with the themes about greed and lost of trust, there is also a commentary about appreciating our educators that really pays off in one remarkable scene towards the end.
NEGATIVES…
This is not what you would call a very cinematic movie, so don’t get too distracted and keep your eyes on the screen.
It’s easy to forget who all these supporting characters are, and how they are relevant to the plot.
