"I just recently watched this movie after having already watched the Netflix documentary about the true story that this is based on. The movie is well made and seems to stick to the facts, other than that it actually happened at a McDonald's and I believe that they got sued. This whole horrible story is a testimonial to just how dumb and gullible people in our country can be. Just sad really. I prefer the documentary, but the movie is a good watch. I give it a 7/10."
"Definitely the most shocking true story for a movie. At least that I have seen.
Good movie just definitely not for everyone. I kinda wish I didn’t watch it after finishing it.
I did enjoy it. But knowing it’s a true story. Is very weird.
I would say I don’t understand. But obviously never been in that situation.
The husband is 100% at fault though. "
"This is a drama film based on the true story of a prank call that went horribly wrong. The movie takes place at a fast-food restaurant, where a manager, Sandra (Ann Dowd), receives a call from a man claiming to be a police officer. The caller accuses one of the employees, Becky (Dreama Walker), of stealing from a customer, and instructs Sandra to conduct a strip search and detain Becky until the police arrive.
As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the caller is not who he claims to be, and that Sandra and the other employees are being manipulated into committing increasingly disturbing acts. The film explores themes of obedience, authority, and the dangers of unchecked power.
While the true story behind it is shocking, the movie itself is somewhat uneven. The acting is strong, particularly from Ann Dowd and Dreama Walker, but the pacing is slow and plodding at times. The film's tension builds gradually, but it's often interrupted by long, drawn-out scenes that feel unnecessary."
