What a great surprise this was, don't know how this slipped by me when it was released.
Quick Side Note: I'm surprised Giovanni Ribisi isn't in more things. He's a solid actor.
This movie checks off all the boxes of what a good film should have. Really surprised that this isn't talked about more.
Felt like this movie was inspired by Casino. It had all the same elements and was presented in pretty much the same manner. Only difference is that Casino dealt with mafia stuff and this dealt with the internet boom. (Well this had a mafia element as well.) The similarities are uncanny.
The story flows nicely with no drag and kept you engaged. Luke Wilson isn't what I would call a good actor (unless Wes Anderson is directing him), but he is decent in this. His narration was really good. This movie has a few laughable and oh crap moments. You'll definitely be entertained.
The movie shows what it was like for a credit card billing company in the early days of the internet. An idea so simple that I'm surprised no one had thought of it until that point.
They faced a few obstacles at first and were expanding too fast. They got help from the Russian mob and you can kind of guess how it all went down.
This movie shows that you need to be careful who you do business with. Also, it matters how you conduct business.
This is what you would classify as a popcorn movie. Just sit back, relax and enjoy. I would recommend it to anyone looking to kill some time after a long week at work.
This gets a LennyReviewz Score of: 6/10.
