This movie sort of reminded me of the film "The Social Network" except with porn and not as a polished, sharp and well written script and dialogue. But on the bright side this film has many elements that young adults like watching in movies. The direction just isn't that polished and not believable but quirky at times. The plot is based on a true story about the pioneers of internet commerce so that people would pay with their credit card to watch porn on the internet. And the struggles that comes with it and I mean ridiculous struggles. Some wacky and not very believable struggles. But they basically became rich by coming up with the idea to bill them with credit cards from other people through the internet. Watching the lifestyle of these pioneers in the porno industry after there success about 50 minutes into the movie was sort of fun to watch, but after a while the movie just seem to run out of steam. And not just reaching the top and ending, which is fine if pulled off right. Rade erbedija stood out the most in this movie who played the mobster, but not because of his performance but because he looks like Einstein. The movie has it's entertaining moments but it tries to be something it's not and felt like it's copying other gangster films. Most of the characters in this film was also irritating and annoying to watch intentional or not, especially the narrator's wife. I thought this movie might have potential since it's about something that maybe more interesting to watch than about the social network, but it just isn't crafted all that well. So it isn't really a shock that although this movie had a budget of 20 million but grossed less than a million. While "The Social Network" made over 5 times it's budget. This ain't a terrible movie but it just isn't a great one, in fact the trailer is better than this movie itself.
