Who’s in it

Hayden Christensen, Peter Saarsgard, Rosario Dawson, Steve Zahn

Should you see this movie?

I think so. This was suprisingly entertaining and for the first half of the movie, the best acting job Hayden has ever done. It’s a true story about a writer who “cooks” all of these stories, or fabricates them, and has everyone fooled. He goes to great lengths to make up all of his sources and lies, and uses the system of checks and balances so he can advance his career. Saarsgard, like usual, is very good, and the movie is engaging, but towards the end the regular “Anakin” whine starts to come out and you want to turn it off. But don’t, it is a good one.
