A truly boring movie, exciting only because you kept thinking it was going to be. I only watched it because the ad copy linked it to 9/11. I thought there was a tie-in and kept waiting for the planes to come over and make the movie interesting. Instead, it turns out to be a boring commentary on the failure of so many ****.com back then.

The acting and the story was forced. It was never certain what the company did or why it failed, just that it was propped up by the culture of personality as if that would have succeeded in 2001. The relationships were uncertain and the pace never picked up. When it ended, I was glad for the break, but dissatisfied because it never went anywhere. No one gets killed and no one jumps out of a window. BUST.
