      Audience Member This is actually a very well written script with excellent performances. It's definitely worth seeing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Much, much better than I expected, hence a higher rating due to my low expectations. I wouldn't say there are any outstanding or break-out performances but at the very least, Matthew Newton provides a strong effort in the lead role and is well supported by a good cast. The storyline held my interest throughout the film (always a good thing) and the 90 minute running time was a good decision - as anything longer could have hurt the story. I'd recommend this movie for something different. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok film, mix between Wall Street and Butterfly Effect. Didn't quite convince, even though the story was quite tight.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Sydney's big money and bigger egos get a workover in director Mark Lee's use of a Chekhov short story filtered through Oliver Stone. An underdone script loses out to high concept but Budd and Newton offer solid work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
