True Story

 

True Story with Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes is a bit predictable, sure, but mostly it’s a well-done thriller. I knew nothing about the behind-the-scenes machinations of big-time stand-up comedy, but now I feel that I do. (Aside from the murders, which I hope/assume are purely fictional.)

Screw that. I prefer to label the Cumberbatch character the old-fashioned way: he’s the bad guy.
