I wasn’t a big fan. My biggest problem: I just don’t buy Wahlberg as a college professor. The classroom scenes feel like the classroom scene in a movie. They’re showy scenes that bear little relationship to what classrooms are like. Having such a big scene like that early in the film establishes th

The ending scene SHOULD HAVE BEEN ... a showdown with Lange/Goodman/Williams = GOLD!!! The movie was on point, for most of the film, hence why I stated the audience reactions. Even after the bank scene w/Lange, I heard at least 15 people say Whoa/Wow. EXPOSURE = EVERYTHING!!!
- On another note, I can't exactly put my finger on if Larson was just miscast here or what. I'm sure she saw the script, saw the actors attached, then said "I'm in," even though the role sucked. At least with Hutton, she was a 'sex goddess' (which is a subjective notion) at the time. Larson is by FAR not a huge sex symbol, like Hutton, so no one, outside of here, really has a clue who she is. I think they should have cast an absolutely smoldering beauty with that WOW factor, because to be honest, there were some scenes I viewed of Larson that actually left me feeling she had been in the morgue for a few days (check out the makeup/lip color in some scenes).
