A very shallow film

Rating: 5/10 (8 August 2008)

This movie doesn't have much substance. It was strange seeing two Asian characters in the group. I thought that was kind of unusual. When I watched the special features of the DVD, I noticed that the consultant on the film was Asian, and was in fact one of the MIT students which the movie was "based on". Now, after investigating the true story on the internet, I find out that the original students were Asian. I think that's why the story lacks any substance--it's phony. It's pathetic that Kevin Spacey doesn't have the balls to present the real story. It's even more pathetic that they got an English actor to play the main character. What I realize now is that this movie is a theft of a cool true story and turned into a bland b-movie meant to stroke white mainstream movie-goers.
