Pretty Good and Twisted

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2014)

So the movie itself was Oscar Worthy, great cast, Amazing acting, intense moments of insanity. I just couldn't help but feel that this was a re-hash of the Scott Peterson murder that happened a few years ago in CA. Only this was told from the Husbands point of view, then twisted to make it a little more Hollywood than real life. Honestly, it kind of reminded me of Jeepers Creepers, in that it was a movie taken from a real life case, and dolled up to fit Hollywood's needs. I don't think there is anything wrong with that so much however, didn't work for Jeepers(for me anyway), but it definitely worked here.
Ben Afleck was excellent, (and I hate Ben Afleck)and played his part to a tee. Very cool performance, very convincing. But really everybody in this film was spot on.(except Doogie Howser,I did not believe that he was a straight man for a second.Really needs to stick to either Barney or the angry Itch.It was kind of like watching a vegan eat a steak.)
Not too many movies came out last year that were this good. The only reason I gave it an eight was because of that above, and the Scott and Stacy Peterson case.(Ben even looks just like Scott Peterson) I was telling my wife what was going to happen next, all the way up to about 45 minutes from the end where things get weird. However I don't think it really took too much away from this movie. A-
