The main problem with this one is that is how inaccurate and dishonest it is. Almost all of it. The coupon scam was real, but the none of the characters or plot is. She was not a Olympic Gold medalist who was driven to this because she was broke and miscarried her baby because she is infertile. They only added those bits to manipulate the audience into making you feel sorry for/and sympathize with her willingly break the law. There were two other women that did it with her and they weren't influencers that had their lives ruined because of a hacker which also didn't exist. The FBI actually did investigate right away along with the USPS; I can go on and on about how the screenwriters completely made up most of this film in order to make it appealing and interesting.
The problem is, it was wholly unnecessary to do that. The story seems fascinating and interesting as it is. Why invent all of these characters and plot elements in order to manipulate the audience into liking the protagonist? Was it that Kristen and Vince wouldn't have done the movie if they didn't?
For these reasons, you can pass on this. It's hard to watch when you know that most of it isn't true. Plenty of other "based on a true story" crime dramas out there that at least can stay accurate.
