New Release Tuesday: The Imposter

The Imposter IMDb
I saw the trailer to this crazy documentary mid-last year and damn I been wanting to see it ever since. The whole thing feels like a movie. You can almost say this is a docu-thriller. But, it's all real. It kept me on my toes through the whole thing. Didn't know what to expect. How can a 23 year old Frenchman con a bunch of government officials and a family to believe he's a 17 year old boy from the U.S.? Well, this documentary goes all out to explain all that. Very good and solid documentary. Since I saw this late at night, I thought I was going to fall asleep. Luckily, I had me some hot chocolate. But, even if I didn't, this documentary had me on full alert.
