    Not bad, He was a monster. This movie is pretty accurate. Of course they have to amp up the drama. Other than minor details that make no difference to the actual events that happened, I was surprised at how well the movie told the actual evemts. This guy is sick pup.

    Definitely worth watching! Shocking true story portrayed perfectly by the entire cast.

    Nic sometimes doesn't give his all to a project and this was one of them ... I liked it but didn't love it. Maybe it was the writing .... or learning this movie was so far off from the truth.

    Dean Norris and John Cusack were excellent in this movie, and Vanessa Hudgens was so believable in her role that the whole thing was just heartbreaking and agonizing to watch.

    This is an interesting flick for Alaskans that can either remember the events, or the absolute shit show that was Pat Clives and him refusing to leave his position and the state. For years, and spanning multiple generations, the residents of Anchorage have found great reason to berate, and belittle anyone that aligned with him or the Dept. and specifically his family. Lol! He, and now his decedents STILL get harassed at grocery stores, and the like. His nieces and nephews made the mistake of "publicly" siding with him in the mid 90's and saying the women didn't matter... They ALL got beat up at school! Mrs. Tashima just told their parents that she "cannot delay the inevitable!" Lol! And Clate Johnson had 2 kids that were probably for sure his. Maybe Janet is the only one for sure... But still... One of which lives in the midtown area, and she organizes a block party in the housing division across from us, on the other end(south side) of Lois Dr in the Spenard neighborhood. It's yearly theme is the "shit-beardedness" of Pat Clives! Lol! FANTASTIC! It still goes on to this very day!
