Cool, I remember DiCaprio and Jonah Hill were attached to this directly after Wolf of Wall Street. Cast looks strong regardless.

I remember being 9/10 when this happened. Shyt was crazy.

damn, jonah lost a hell of a role

 

[El Guapo]

I remember when this happened

Dude was first hailed as a hero, then they thought he was in on it. He wasn't but it got exposed to the world he had this huge porno mag collection at his mom's place or something

An angry white man movie by the anGry white man movie director

Reminds me of Sully, which was only good when they were checking out of hotel in the beginning and the reenactment, I slept through the rest

FBI had cable news calling him a bomber everyday

Interesting story, I remember from my days of reading tabloids at like age 10 or so, which I still don't fully understand, but he was innocent of the bombing? The tabloids really fueled in some ways, a lot of false narratives in the 90's, and now, with Trump, Bezos, AMI, the federal investigation we see how underhanded some of the business practices were.

That said, another beleaguered white man movie, and after catching The Mule on HBO last month, Eastwood is an embarrassment. The Mule is a racially charged white savior story, with no less than TWO threesomes with a 90 year old man. It was awful.

I remember he sued damn near every cable news station and I think all but one settled with him out of court

Yeah he was innocent...Erick Robert Rudolph is the guy who did it...

It was wild what they did to this dude though...picked his life apart and then was like "oh it wasn't you no worries"...

it’s “keith” from “kingdom”...dude always plays a slow character (he played a dolt in ‘I, Tonya’ as well)...does a good job of it tho

 

[re'up]

Yeah, the federal law enforcement agencies esp. FBI were very reckless in many cases in the late 80's and 90's, think of Ruby Ridge, Waco, and a few more. It took a lot of oversight to get it's reputation back, in the wake of 9/11, actually under former director Robert Mueller.

In an investigation like that, there is a potential for collateral damage, and was it. The FBI were overly aggressive with Jewell, and someone leaked to the press, which ran with the story. The Feds nearly had him confess apparently, they were so certain it was him.

He played a slow billionaire heir on The Incredible Kimmy Schmidt too

Clint Eastwood is using this story to make a political statement about 'oppressed' white people but that was probably one of the craziest events of the 90's, I mean the media was tearing this dude apart.
