I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreA film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
... View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreThis one is way too trivial and not thought through. It is about these four people from different backgrounds that make a bet who can get the highest net worth after a month in an unfamiliar city (Salt Lake City)with an initial amount of a hundred dollars in their pockets. All the persons are way too stereotypical. The "hippie" spur of the moment type guy has had a hard upbringing, the seemingly wealthy hotshot stock broker is really up to his neck in debts, the sensible one takes the hard but right way, and so on... It's a movie for people who believe in the personality types that were built up for *NSync and similar bands are telling the truth about the members of the band.... Anyway, no matter what their differences between the movie characters are, it's still just a test of how good their friendhip is. Come on... Whoever said this is original is wrong. This is too predictable. And too slow. And too stereotypical.
... View MoreThis movie had it all - a great premise, plot, character development, believability, solid dialogue, and a script that kept moving forward. Very little wasted scenes that did not keep the story moving. Great Acting, a solid directorial job, etc. Every scene interesting. Every character interesting. One heck of a movie. It is a pity that apparently no one saw this film has whoever was in charge of promotion either 1) was asleep, or 2) had not budget to work with. I dare say that this movie is better than 95% of all movies out there. Jeff
... View MoreThis is a film with such an intriguing premise that I wish they had put more effort into the characters and story-line beforehand.It has a very capable cast who over and over again pull the film up to a higher level than its really earned. In the end I was moved and touched by the characters -- even while I was aware of being manipulated. But as I said, the premise is worthy and the actors are really making an effort.In the end it left me thinking, which is more than most films do. And it's always nice to see these actors in almost anything so there is definitely an upside to it.
... View MoreI just loved this story. It had very interesting, well developed characters with real depth that will steal your heart. I really enjoyed their history and friendship with each other. The deal they made leads them on interesting adventures with life changing discoveries. I highly recommend this independant film. I was extremely impressed with Michael T. Weiss and Todd Field's performances as well as the rest. Language and sexual content not extreme.
