Quizically enough, I liked this movie

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2007)

Strangely enough, I liked this movie. Now, I say strangely because I am definitely not a fan of quiz shows, especially those similar to Jeopardy in which you have to be of genius status to be in the game, let alone win. But alas, I am intrigued by conspiracies and the uncovering of conspiracies, no matter how trivial. This movie held my interest just because there was the air of foul play throughout and I wanted to see if and when the cover would be blown, and also whose head would be on the chopping block for it all. I found myself even more interested knowing that the movie was based upon a true story. Bravo to Robert Redford for his role as a director. I had no idea he directed this movie at the time, but I'd say he hit a ground rule double with this production (not quite a home run, but long enough to hit the ground and bounce over the wall).
