    Film came out three and one-half months ago. Not exactly "new."

    A bit long and wordy, but fun. Also, important to read the true story afterwards, to separate fact from fiction in the movie.

    Coincidentally just watched it last weekend. Thought it was pretty good for what it's worth.

    I watched about fifteen minutes of it before the high-speed, rambling narrative got so annoying I couldn't stand it anymore. It reminded me of an over-caffeinated Rudy Giuliani speech. At least in the short time I watched, it also seemed to suffer from having no likable characters. I was quite disappointed.

    So-so...It wasn't too bad.
    I'd prefer watching INSIDE THE EDGE.

    I haven`t gotten around to seeing the movie yet, but I did read an article about the game that the movie is based on. Player X is Tobey Maguire.

    So it is assumed, but not confirmed.

    I should have mentioned that part; it`s kind of complicated. The director says that Player X is "an amalgamation of different players" that were in the game. However, the writer of the article has the opinion that the movie makes that part just murky enough to not be blatant about who it is so they don`t have to deal with the drama of calling out someone. They make a really strong case too, because they give examples of specific things that Maguire does in her book (by his name), and Player X does pretty much those same exact things in the movie. The link is below if you want to read it. For those who haven`t seen the movie, be aware there are spoilers.
