Went in with low expectations and came out really liking it. A great crime drama with a terrific performance from Hugh Jackman.

**08/10.**

Gosh this is a good movie. Maybe I like it more because I am a sucker for white collar crime dramas. This is a complete Hugh Jackman show. Maybe his best performance in years outside of Logan.

I could see how this movie could feel boring to some but as far as I am concerned _Cory Finley_ is 2/2 after _Thoroughbreds_ and this.

Worth watching for Hugh Jackman.

The movie is alright, run of the mill. Nothing new.

But, Jackman makes it worth watching.

This movie is about a scandal in a Long Island school district not long after the turn of the century. The story is interesting and the acting is excellent (as you would expect with Jackman and Janney as the leads). The movie is exactly what you would expect it to be, for better worse. This is probably a good example of a movie with a high floor and low ceiling - if you're looking for a safe movie choice this is a good one.

There is a very interesting scandal mixed in with a slow start, unmotivated choices and relationships, a few cookie cutter characters and mild pacing issues throughout.

It could have been better.

[HBO] Corruption is worse when surrounded by silence. Like a matryoshka doll, the story discovers the surprises step by step. And in this game of truth and lies it is Hugh Jackman's performing that masterfully drives towards the end. "Accelerated".

A good film and a story I wasn't familiar with, Jackman and Janney were great, and so were the rest of the cast. Certainly taught me a lesson... don't judge a book by its cover, especially if that book is symbolic of a former english teacher.

It was worth watching, I didn't really follow it very well. Hugh Jackman was pretty good, but I didn't really feel it.

Great movie based on a true story about corruption in the school system. I really enjoyed it. Hugh Jackman was great as Frank a school superintendent who embezzles money from a school. A great watch this year.

Certainly surprising, a movie that grew into it's own before your eyes.

I love most things with Allison Janney in, this is no exception. It's a good film, I was really surprised to see at the end that its based on a true story. Oh and an extra star for having Dido's White Flag as the end credits song and reminding me of my teenagehood!

True crime with Allison Janney and Hugh Jackman? Count me in. And it didn't disappoint, but it also didn't amaze. I was surprised by how straightforward the entire film was. There were rarely any surprise turns and what small twists there were, were telegraphed well in advance. Thankfully the performances were solid and the story was intriguing enough to hold my attention.

I was completely surprised by how good it is. This is why I love Cinema. The big name movies and big name directors makes you expect things, you are not totally surprised by what you see. What I love about movies is that I still see movies that completly surprise me. I was expecting to see an average movie and was not really in the mood to see a movie about high school and instead I got a movie like if it was made by David Fincher with great score.

By no means a spectacular plot. [spoiler]You know immediately, that Frank encouraging Rachel to determine what her article is about will be his doom.[/spoiler] Only the performances of the actors make this a good movie. The music was pretty good too, though sometimes a bit too dominant.

A typical story about a narcissistic sociopath that takes advantage of their public office and government resources for personal gain. No, it's not about Trump. :laughing:
[spoiler]What the hell was that ending though? Why does Hugh Jackman keep trying to make us sympathize with narcissistic conmen? First P.T. Barnum, now this?[/spoiler]
