This film was really weak. Gere had the opportunity to really run with this film but the film and Gere never get out of "Park" in the transmission of a potentially great story vehicle, about the headline-making fraudulent Howard Hughes Autobiography.

Richard was good, but the film was........so-so. It's OKNLY savinf grace (for me) was that it was based on a true story. Had it been 100% fiction, I wouold have ejected it in the first 30 mins. But the ending was worth the watch (ONCE). I'd never sit through it again.
