    Clever, twisty film which suffers from a failed premise and a too-clever but murky ending. Could have been much better but the script and director fall down on the job in the last minutes of this film.

    A very smart and entertaining independent film. Definitely worth watching twice to get what I missed the first time around. If you're a Maury Chaykin fan like I am, this one is not to be missed.

    You got that right, "BULL" was what this flick was all about! I mean, who really cares about a Nerd Stock Broker, and why waste money making a movie on this BORING subject?? ...Peace.
