The protagonist is no more than a conman, steals money, pretends to be a lawyer, escapes from gaol a bunch of times. At the end of the film they tell us that after his last escape he was sentenced to LIFE imprisonment with 23 hour/day lockdown. Wow. I keep wondering how he is going to get out of that.

Steven Russell, the subject of this true crime story, is a rare individual, a genius who has run afoul of the law, a prodigious intellect endowed with boundless energy, audacity and guile.(...) Journalist McVicker has written an unexceptional book about this exceptional man, but Russell's charisma—shining through lackluster prose—is what makes this offbeat biography a success.
In I Love You Phillip Morris, journalist Steve McVicker goes right to the heart of this improbable-but-true story of crime, punishment, and passion. Thanks to unprecedented and exclusive access to Russell, his family, and his friends, he retraces Russell's journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal and jailhouse Houdini. It's the darkly comic tale of a man with a spectacular ability to manipulate almost everyone he meets, yet who is himself helpless in the face of love. No library descriptions found. |
