This is the kind of relational programming I have been missing. No over-acting, women with no unnecessary hysterics (we are not all hysterical, many of us react as humans, not stereotypes which is also true of men). Gemma Arterton (as one person said) did not act in a 'wooden way' in my perspective. Her character acted like a grown up who was working through the issues.
I love how the movie moved through the storyline. I don't care for flashbacks usually as they can often confuse the story, so I was happy to see very little of that aspect. Although they can be done well at times.
I enjoyed the ending but was sad to see that within a short time his sentence was reduced.
Great story telling, a movie done very well with fine acting, in my humble opinion.

Excellent, realistic acting...
Stranger than fiction
I saw the documentary and it shows that Freegard was so much worse than in this movie adaptation. What some people can manipulate others to do is scary. And it's not always the victims faults. People get caught up in another's web and away they go!
It is completely and totally Freegard's fault. The parents of the people in his web did their best to get them out, but it was impossible. Once they were in his grips......
The movie is fine. Gives a brief outline of Freegard and a few of his followers and the incredible amount of damage he did.
Hopefully it'll help us steer clear of people like that!! Hopefully.
Amazes what people get away with !!
Most of the reviews are very negative about this film . Don't see why
I was hooked from the first , the fact this is based on truth and after seeing it I can faintly remember it .
The story here is far worse than anyone could ever imagine and that the conman could be so unscrupulous.
I felt the story kept you watching from the first minute hoping for a good end . I felt it was well put together and did exactly what we hoped .
Well worth the watch.

the movie is very loosely based on a real-life event. The plot is engaging and dramatic. I just feel like they rushed with the ending. (spoiler ahead) Oh yeah, the real-life crime is 10x more horrible than this but hell he was released from life in prison in short 4 years WTF!!!
Reading the commentary that some post yts should limit membership to those with an IQ of at least a double digit number. Realizing that this will severely limit the amount of comments however the quality and intelligent response will be appreciated.
1st Thanks For Good movie , Hey guys Please don't cheat anyone , don't break heart , we all humans .do not any bad thing because karma all was behind your back .... And Thanks Declan Lawn for this movie , GOOD Cast too .
Boring plot line... and the trailer is no different... pedowood still hasn't learnt that not every story should be turned into a movie.
Looks good also watch The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman.
Thank you FREEMAN
