In Uncategorized on September 26, 2008 at 5:18 pm

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor, Michelle Williams…

Tagline: “When you’re in this world, no one is who they seem, and everyone is playing the game.”

Plot: An accountant is introduced to a mysterious sex club known as The List by his lawyer friend. But in this new world, he soon becomes the prime suspect in a woman’s disappearance and a multi-million dollar heist (Source, IMBD)

Review: The first few minutes of the movie, seems like an excerpt from a documentary…though, it get’s interesting as soon as Hugh Jackman enters the scene…..and goes on from there. The movie is a suspense-thriller, involving an accountant (played by Ewan McGregor), who’s charmed by a hot-shot lawyers (played by Hugh Jackman), and gets introduced into an exclusive “Sex-Club” called The List…..none of the members know each other, and are not supposed to…they just hook up for a night…needless to say, lots of sex scenes follow…
However, the plot thickens, when the truth comes out, that the hot-shot lawyer is not what he pretends….and a love-interest (played by Michelle Williams) goes missing…..to rescue her, the accountant has to transfer a sum of 20 Million Dollars from a clients account to his…for the lawyer….What follows is interesting chain of events….to a nice ending.

Verdict: Quite an interesting movie…..lots of sexuality in the begining….but comes down to the main point in the latter half. Not bad, not an edge of the seat thrillers as others have claimed…
