Lame, predictable, uninspired

Rating: 4/10 (15 April 2008)

The biggest reason people will flock to this movie is because Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne are in it. Fine actors whose talents are wasted in this predictable, boring, canned Hollywood movie. Spacey's character is schizophrenic. . .apparently motivated by the intellectual challenge of beating the system in the beginning of the movie, then becoming nothing but a selfish, greedy criminal in the end. "Ben's" character goes 360 degrees from meek geek to raging Maxim playboy and back to meek geek only after losing a few hundred grand twice. . . and tells his story hoping to impress an admissions officer. Boring! Don't waste your time.
