hmmm and after read the others comment on big shot represent confession of a campus bookie and i be wonder if they really watch the same movie . character be the same and event be the same and even the silly cardboard cut out in the big game scene be the same . so why would these people take the time to write glow review of a boringly predictable moral tale . answer 1 represent novice . perhaps these people have never witness a move picture before and be very impressed simply by the illusion of movement across large white screen ( or glow dot of light if theyre watch on a television ) . perhaps they have never experience any of the thousand of child story that show a protagonist do something ethically questionable and then regret it in the end ( ie and the boy who cry wolf and king midas and the godfather and or any story involve get wish ) . answer 2 represent friend of the movie . perhaps these people either work on the movie or be somehow associate with people with interest in the movie . to keep with the movie theme and i be give 3 represent2 odds on the latter . okay and the review ( skip a summary a you can read that elsewhere ) represent from the opening scene and the protagonist and benny ( ably play by numb3rs star david krumholtz ) and tell u this be the story of how he come to regret his current state . this swift reveal also destroy much of the opportunity this movie have to keep u engage . instead of let u discover what happen and we already know how it go to turn out . there a fourth act and a bizarre epilogue a well and but i will get to that later . benny sidekick be capably but predictably play a your basic nyc stereotype . benny girlfriend be decently portray by house star jennifer morrison . the other bookie and bad guy and and the basketball star ( tory kittles ) be again simple character mark simple stereotype . while good actor could have squeeze something out of the character and there be clearly nothing in the script for them to work with . one interesting note be the excessive use of body mount camera . these shot be use to portray various intense mood of benny and but be so use that they get very annoy . instead of hit the same note on the piano and let the dp use other trick and please . other than that and the look and style be decent for an ultra low budget film . but for a movie that indulge so much in the coarse pleasure of life ( drug and violence and strip club and etc . ) and i be amaze at the lack of female eye candy in this film . this be make especially more painful from the tease of the establish sequence of why benny chose to come to arizona in the first place . even the titty bar shuns nudity ( the girl be all wear bikini or silly look pasty ) . sure and this be a make for tv movie and but it already rat r. truly sad be the decision to make an exploitation movie and not have any exploitation . while the occasional breaking of the fourth wall ( where the benny talk directly into the camera during a scene a la malcolm in the middle ) be amuse and the near constant use of voice over narration to explain and re explain and and re re explain the plot be not only overkill and it downright insult . i pause the movie eight time to cool down before i finally finish it . have i be in a theater i would have simply walk out . and if the painfully clear moral of the film wasn not drop dead obvious enough and after the out of no where fourth act come an epilogue . in this final bit and the real benny silverman talk directly to the audience ( think blow ) and re re re repeat the moral and insist for the audience to never do what he do ( what . and never get a movie make about your life . ) . it like pay to hear a rich drug addict preach about not do drug . for me and the message be clear represent i want my money back .
