If you want to pick a movie for a group of friends to watch, where you know how it is, one might be offended by violence, another by sex scenes, and so on, this could be that movie. It is entertaining with excellent leads; we hadn’t seen Bryan Cranston or Annette Bening in anything for a while. It isn’t groundbreaking and it doesn’t have an edgy plot; it is just fun viewing. It is based on a true story, so there’s that.
