(NOTE: Both uses of the F-word do not feel gratuitous. I actually didn’t hear the first one until my second time through the movie.)
If you don’t have access to Netflix or you are concerned about the language, you can read the Wikipedia movie summary HERE and a review with some thoughts HERE.
This movie is based on a true story of the lawyer who was tasked with putting a monetary value on each person who was died or injured in the 9/11 attack.
