Writer/director John Stockwell displays a firm grasp of filmmaking technique. Stockwell, who also wrote Breast Men for HBO, has alot of talent, and will be sure to make it in the future. Stockwell propels the story forward through montage, and he does it the way it was ment to be done. Some of the camera shots are awesome, and its clear he wants to take you on a trip, the camera never ends up where it starts off in the shot.
Jena Malone does a good job in the movie and she will be on the up and up for sure, you may remember her from CONTACT or FOR LOVE OF THE GAME.
Jeff Daniels does a good job as the teacher, but everytime he talks I can't help but think of DUMB AND DUMBER.
The great thing about this movie is that it is not exactly what you would expect. I don't want to say too much in fear of spoilers, but the ending is a perfect example.
If your looking for a movie that will teach you that cheaters never win, and its bad to cheat, this is not the movie. This movie teaches more the lesson that it's bad to get caught, if you cheat right the sky could be the limit.
Pete's Movie Rating (out of 10): 7
