A superintendent of a school district works for the betterment of the student’s education when an embezzlement scheme is discovered, threatening to destroy everything.
I was surprised by this movie. i didn’t know anything about the true life story behind it, so i was chocked on how terrible those people were. The movie does a great job on adapting the real life story of Frank Tassone. Hugh Jackman gives us a superb interpretation of this character. Allison Janney also gives a strong performance and you believe they are like that in real life. The production is well-made and its kind of unusual to see Hugh Jackman in a small scale movie like this one. It’s a light movie that i was intrigue all the way through, i strongly recommend.
Some details demand more explanations because we don’t truly see all the facts from the original story. You just accept it and make your own interpretation. Also, i was a little lost in the story at the beginning of the film but i quickly understood everything half-way. Telling this story in 2 hours only is hard.
