So Underrated!!!
All facts aside, this movie was riveting from beginning to end. The acting was incredible and the scenes were shot really well. Whether you agree with the truth of the story or not, it has an extremely powerful message. I personally think Kevin Bacon was robbed of an Oscar (or at least a nomination) and Christian Slater (who I don't particularly like) also did an outstanding job.
If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest you do.
