"I'm not a business man, I'm a business man"

3/5 Stars

Josh Hartnett - Perfect fit, excellent job

I actually liked this film. It was well written and passionate. The acting was exceptional. The dialogue was real and not overdone. And even though it was flooded with a lot of business jargon, I was able to fight through it.

Au contrar, the film was a little slow and pretty predictable. The F bomb was dropped wayyy more that I would have liked it to be, although seemingly fitting for this obnoxious character Hartnett undertook. This film reveals how miserable and over-demanding the lifestyle of an extreme business man, who is only money hungry, can be. Though in the case with this film, the entrepreneur came to his senses about what really matters in life and redeemed himself.

Acting: Real
Writing: Well meditated
Cinematography: Fitting and moving
Story Line: Typical

Maybe just watch it on TV to obliterate the cursing and nudity.
