Director : Brad Furman
Running Time : 92 mins
When Princeton student Richie Furst (Timberlake) discovers that he has been conned out of his money by an online gambling site, he takes a trip to Costa Rica to confront Ivan Block (Affleck), the illusive billionaire who runs the website. Apparently impressed by his ability to spot the con, Block offers Richie the chance to make an immense fortune by working with him, but when the FBI turn up at Richie’s door, he finds himself having to decide who he can trust.
This over-the-top thriller makes a man who runs a gambling site look like a Columbian drug lord. On the whole these sites are harmless, so why Affleck’s character chooses to torture people to make his money is beyond me. And the FBI agents were no better, basically beating up on a guy they want to help them out. Timberlake and Affleck are okay in this, but by no means is this Oscar worthy or even really noteworthy. Don’t bother if you’re expecting a great thriller, but try it out if you can live with watching a mediocre one.
