Great advertising for their film
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
So dumb it has to be a publicity stunt
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.
speaks to the state of things in general when the answer is to sue instead of looking within
The thin-skinned blue line?
So now everyone is going to want to watch the movie. Can’t beat that advertisement.
