Gripping from start to finish; Ralph Fiennes puts in one helluva performance as Charles Van Doren, the upcoming golden boy of 1950's quiz shows in America in the film, apparently and quite believably based on a true story. The actor who plays Herb Stemple (I forget his name at present sorry but he's also been in Anger Management amongst a few others, but I think this is his finest hour)is such a clutz that you almost feel sorry for him, but not quite. Gripping from start to finish, and very much a favourite film of mine. Enjoy; I wholeheartedly recommend it.
This movie comes as a timeless piece of cinematic work showing well loved entertainments of the days of yesterday, today and tomorrow because not only of its topic but of the description and the critics about human character and all sorts of systems invented by human beings, but by being consumened at the same time proving not that human at all.......The actors playing the key characters are very convincing and so are the supporting ones directed by a very giftet director. This movie isn't an action movie at all but it contains surprising turning points, changing of direction and an unexpected solution. Me and my family really do recommend it to a critical and/or curious audience which likes to get thinking about these subjects - there is no point not liking anything about it in our opinion! Just buy, watch....and enjoy.Read full review
This was I think a very well made movie, what I liked about it was how it showed how people react when they think they found an easy way to win lots of money. It showed how the top people in charge of the game show coaxed the game show entrants into thinking that they were the right people to be welcomed into the home of millions and win in the process lots of money. It also showed the peoples consciences clever or not making money the easy way was priority.I decided to buy this film because I like the actor Rob Morrow, but Ralph Fiennes is also a great actor in it.
