This movie was released in 2004, and obviously wasn’t worth watching when it released, or else i wouldnt have missed it. Anyways, it was selling for cheap ($3) at a local grocery store, so we grabbed it, and watched it yesterday, after two hours of Wii….

The Plot: A story of a headhunter (played by Christian Slater), “who always gets his man (or woman)” and would go to any lengths, even criminal acts to get a recruit, for his clients. He has a $1 Million retainer and never fails to get his man. 

The Review: The movie is borderline absurd. At first there is a headhunter, who would do anything to get a recruit and charge a $1 Million retainer. Secondly, he doesnt understands when to give up, and makes stupid mistakes all over the movie, that any technically inclined person, who’s being pursued, would catch, leave alone the “Genius” he after in the movie (played by Gil Bellows). I’m no geek, but if i were, i would know, not to trust anyone in this situation, leave along meeting with this person over and over again, and not getting any authorities (Police, FBI….) involved. Ridiculous. However, the movie does bring up a point, where you do stop and think that this could be possible one day, to anyone who has a brilliant idea and is looked upto  in the high stakes world of technology and venture capitalism. 

The Verdict: Nah…wont waste my time on it…
