Bernie (2011)

  • What's it about?: A mockumentary/docudrama going over the case of Bernie Tiede, a well liked nicest-man-in-town type guy in a Texas small town who gets in a relationship with a well hated meanest-lady-in-town type woman who eventually pushes him to the point of murdering her. Apparently based on  a true story.
  • Thoughts: Fairly nice movie, Jack gives a good performance as this super nice guy you wouldn't think could hurt even a fly. Matthew McConaughey also gives a decent performance as the sheriff handling the case and not letting Bernie off the hook just because everyone likes him.
  • Rating: 7/10
  • Recommendation: Recommended
  • Tier: B
