Rating : Interesting movie but might leave you a little disappointed and confused.
Director : Brian Klugman, Lee Sternthal (Story writers for Tron : Legacy)
Cast : Bradley Cooper (A Team, The Hangover), Jeremy Irons (Lolita, Man in the Iron Mask), Dennis Quaid (The Day After Tomorrow, Vantage Point)
Story : The movie begins with a writer (Dennis Quaid) reading an excerpt from his new book. The book is about another writer (Bradley Cooper) who stumbles upon a manuscript and passes of as his own. what happens when he meets with original author of the manuscript (Jeremy Irons) and what has the first writer got to do with this story?
Review: This is a movie which tries to be multi-layered, complex, philosophical and insightful. Unfortunately it tries a bit too hard. The premise is good. And at one point you actually have a story within a story within a story. However for all that build up it ultimately leads to nowhere.
For some people the ending might be an anti-climax while some might find it confusing. Though the directors do a good job of handling three stories within the movie it seems that towards the end they were in a hurry to finish it off.
In the acting department they have assembled a pretty good cast but not utilized them enough. Bradley Cooper has the maximum screen time and does a very good job. Jeremy Irons is competent though is role is not much. Dennis Quaid has nothing much except show off his voice modulation skills.
Overall an interesting premise, good cast but doesn't seem worth going to a theater to watch this movie
