This should be interesting. Darkly comic is an apt description of the books. I think Giamatti is well cast although maybe not fat enough. Maybe I'm remembering the character wrongly.
Maybe not tall enough. He was not fat. I'm reading Miami Blues for the umpteenth time this week. He was around 205 and got down to 185. He tries to stay on his diet but is always hungry.
There is nothing in the four books to suggest that Mosely was "possibly insane." That's the problem with book-to-film adaptations. Just watched again this week the Alec Baldwin version of Miami Blues. Sad.
Willeford used to say, Tell the truth and they'll call it dark comedy.
