This got mixed-positive reviews in Tribeca and it's screening at Austin next week. Been going thru a lot of title changes; I wonder if they cut or changed the voiceover - which almost all of the reviews lambast. Rather iffy distributor, don't think this will touch awards (it leans a lot into comedy someone said like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot). Trailer could hit us in a couple days or so?
The film stars American Horror Story’s Evan Peters along with Oscar nominees Barkhad Abdi, Melanie Griffith and Al Pacino. The plan is release it in 10 markets nationwide day-and-date December 8.
Based on the New York Times bestseller The Pirates of Somalia by Jay Bahadur, the story follows rookie journalist Bahadur (Evan Peters), who, after having a chance encounter with an experienced war correspondent (Pacino), uproots his life and moves to Somalia looking for the story of a lifetime. Hooking up with a local fixer (Abdi), Bahadur attempts to embed himself with the local Somali pirates, getting in way over his head.
