Review of The Profit

This movie isn't great. It's kinda like a Lifetime movie based on true events with low production values. It's essentially a very loosely disguised adaptation of the book "The Bare Faced Messiah", a few things changed here and there but if you've read that book it and know about Scientology that's essentially all that this movie is. Now The Bare Faced Messiah is laugh out loud funny at times but the film largely focuses on the more serious aspects leaving out the funniest stuff. I dunno what genre you could classify it as, it's a fictionalized adaptation of a biography, but you can't really call it a biopic. It's OK I guess, not great but interesting. Worth a viewing if you know about Scientology.
