While the subject matter is somber and at times quite dark, I also found the film to be captivating, hypnotic, and deeply moving.

It’s difficult to make something that will make people laugh, it’s even harder to make something that will make them laugh and think at the same time.

It features some big names, a distinct visual design and good production values, but it loses its way with muddled ideas and disjointed storytelling.

Aaron Sorkin’s strength has always been in his writing. His skills in direction, pacing, and visual composition are not as refined.

Verity promises a wicked good time. In reality, it only manages to provide it in small doses.

This only lightly covers the subject matter, and true crime fans maybe a little turned off by the "creative liberties" that were taken.

You can tell a film is working at a high level when a mere conversation is just as riveting as any shootout, car chase, or big explosion.

The action is good, the humor works, and – perhaps to the largest degree – Kenneth Branagh is a near revelation with his performance.

The narrative unfolds in a flat, somber design. We sit back and wait for any sign of life to pique our interests. Unfortunately, that never comes.

I don’t know if this is for everyone – some may not latch onto the tongue-in-cheek satire Kelly brings to the table. But for those that do, they’ll have an absolute blast.

The only thing that holds it back from true greatness is the insistence on what’s coming as opposed to what is happening in the here and now.
