Great advertising for their film
So now everyone is going to want to watch the movie. Can’t beat that advertisement.
Two South Florida police officers claim Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s recent action thriller “The Rip” used too many real-life details in its fictionalized narrative, causing harm to the officers’ personal and professional reputations, according to a defamation lawsuit.
From m-w.com (emphasis mine):
the act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person
Not that I agree with them, but their point is that they used real life details alongside fiction.
Like if I made a movie with all of your personal info but made your character a pedophile.
So those two cops personally broke those laws. Well then they need to be put in a prison. Funny way of confessing their crimes.
So dumb it has to be a publicity stunt
speaks to the state of things in general when the answer is to sue instead of looking within
The thin-skinned blue line?
