feels like reading a script for an upcoming action based spy-movie. But I guess truth is stranger than fiction

- forgotpwtomain 10y agoThe difference is that in spy movies it looks cool and glamorous, not a bunch seedy dysfunctional ex-military types pretending life is like a james-bond flick. Maybe if someone like Tarantino got their hands on this.
- 6stringmerc 10y agoSomebody coming from the documentary side of things - Alex Gibney would be my pick - in order to 'nail' the grime and feel without resorting to lazy 70% f-bomb script dialogue and using pastiche from other, better directors, which is essentially Tarantino's calling card. Caveat: I think Michael Mann could pull it off though.
- ianhawes 10y agoMichael Mann is the ONLY director that could pull this off. Add in the twist in the end that Le Roux turned state's evidence and you've got a decent film.
- maxerickson 10y agoWhy Tarantino? I'd expect him to pay homage to some obscure filmmaker more than I'd expect him to bend a fairytale back towards reality. I'd go with a showrunner from "Justified" and yell at them not to make up too much of the mayhem. The "bad guys" on that show ring true to me, they are self serving, nihilistic and make poor decisions.
- gestirn 10y agoIt's interesting how life imitates art.
- joshmarlow 10y agoOr how life is inspired by art. You have to wonder how much of Le Roux's... antics(?)... were inspired by a desire to be something like a fictional super villain.
