    Saw this today with my wife. Yet another great movie by Clint Eastwood. Anyone else see it? How’d you like it?

    Went to see it on Christmas. It won't win any awards but we were entertained and also educated. Most of it was pretty accurate from what I have read. There were two books that most of the material was drawn from. The scene where the reporter sleeps with the FBI agent doesn't seem to have any known basis in reality. Interesting to read about what happened to female report after this. It really messed her up and she was never the same. Ended up dying of a drug overdose at a still fairly young age.

    Watching the portrayal of Jewell was infuriating though. You just wanted to keep telling him to shut his damn mouth.
