This will quote you twice for some reason. You can't delete quote son this stupid update. Anyways, you realize it's based loosely on Moby Dick and not actually Moby Dick, right? Ron Howard said portraying Moby Dick would be close to impossible as the details of it are sketchy. So he was able to do what he wanted with it without getting being constricted to a plot. If the story sucked, it sucked haha. All I was getting at was that most true stories are done very well.
Amber Alert (2010): 10/10 - Ties into the true story. This is the story that actually inspired the thing we call Amber Alert. I recommend this to anyone, and I mean anyone. It has that Blair Witch POV for about 25% of the movie but thats doesn't really make it any worse. Honestly if you're tied for a movie to watch on Netflix, look this one up. It was somewhat jumpy at times too (as in I was literally on the edge of my sofa).
