    Scoop is a movie that based on the true story about what's happening between two controversial figures Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. I'm not going to go too far on this one because it's got sex offenders, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell who are both in prison for lives but one is dead. New York City photographer stakes out a private Manhattan home for an exclusive shot. He takes pictures of Prince Andrew walking with Jeffrey Epstein in Central Park. Nine years later, after major staffing cuts are announced, young BBC Newsnight guest producer Sam McAlister comes across the photo placed next to a Prince Andrew sponsored, young entrepreneurs event article. So, she tries to contact the photographer. The rest goes on as it is a true story of what goes on. The two sex offenders, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are both convicted and sent to prison for a very long time and I'm glad to hear that. I'm surprised to hear Harvey Weinstein mentioned in the film. It also mentions that Jeffrey Epstein being dead by killing himself or is it the other way round and you know what, I'm glad he's dead. I don't care what everybody says. I hate him but I'm not the only one. Whatever happens to him in prison that year, he deserve what he got. I hate his mug face, I hate what he's doing and I hate his criminal life so don't app and indoctrinate me, people. You should be happy that he's dead. If I'm glad, you should be glad too. Rest in P*** to Jeffrey Epstein and p*** on his grave. Hooray! Anyway, the actors and actresses did really well acting in this movie. All I can say is that Rufus Sewell did very good as Prince Andrew. I didn't realise it was him at first. Maybe it was the prosthetic makeup to make him look like the real Duke of York. All actors and actresses really serve the t**t on this one. They completely knocked it out of the park. So for what I've seen so far, it's a decent watch. If you're looking for something that is based on the true story, this is one of them. I hope this review is not dodgy for you to read through.
