True Story

Im not a fan of Kevin Harts new comedy specials so i went into this series with low hopes. The whole series was shot well with a good performance from Kevin Hart. With that being said, the writers were absolutely fantastic. Good Job, would definitely recommend.

This is a strong suspense thriller building on each episode with solid pacing, sometimes Netflix seem to need filer episodes to get to ten . Not for the first time a strong offering at seven where every episode progressed the plot with well time twists and turns that keeps you ready for the next episode. Kevin Hart Wesley Snipes lead a number great supporting performances very enjoyable journey.

So, what makes this Netflix title stand out? Excellent cast, good script, and some plot surprises. There are moments of dark comedy, along with a moderate number of violent scenes, so beware, if you are sensitive.

So good to see Snipes on screen, and Kevin Hart really shines in this role... would love to see him in more dramatic projects. Aside from these two veterans, Theo Rossi was riveting in his role as "Gene".

Also like the format of this limited series: the first episode clocks in at about an hour, and rest are about 30 - 35 min. I just wish more series were like this.

Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes are fabulous! They have an excellent chemistry. Billy Zane is terrific in a small but pivotal supporting role! I was HOOKED watching this from beginning to end. This show is intriguing, filled with twists and turns. Kevin Hart is playing a serious role here and just nails it! Binge watching will be how most watch this I bet!

So many revelations in this - and I am not even talking about story or twist developments. I mean the actors that turn up in this. Yes Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes are the ones that get the biggest spotlight and highlight - but you have so many great people in this. Seeing Billy Zane having as much fun as he can have with the character he portrays is just amazing. Reminds you of how of an actor he is. And the charisma he is still able to produce and the screen presence that really sucks you in.

But while I could go on and on about him - there is also Theo Rossi. And Chris Diamantopoulos and so forth and so forth. So you can guess I am a fan. Of the actors but also the performances and the characters they put on screen. Then there is the story and the twists. Now I would say that one big twist (that is revealed fully at the end of episode 6) is one that many might guess. Sooner or later - I can say it was sooner for me. Nevertheless, the show has so many other twists and turns, that it doesn't matter if you or when you figure that one out.

There are some inside jokes in this too - be it about multiverses (or cinematic unvierses) or about political correctness and how it is used. There also is a lot to be said about the connection of stars/celebrities and their fans. Not always an easy connection - not always a fruitful relationship.

Yes famous people are just that - people and humans too. Kevin Harts character makes the point verbally too, in case you missed all the other hints before that. There is so much goodness and a bit of violence at times (a lot of swearing too, with one scene of sexuality if you can call it that) - but it really is rather kept at a minumum. With big spikes when necessary. I only mention if for those who rather don't want to be surprised and offended by such scenes and vivid imagery.

But if you can stomach it, the movie is more than rewarding as I already pointed out - great writing, acting and directing.
