Review

good film about the nascent internet billing industry. of course that means much of it focused on the porn aspect because the guys who got into the business and revolutionized the way internet commerce was done were in porn instead of book/music sales. i like films about recent history because it’s a lot more relatable and i am able to fill in some of the gaps; i lived through the early internet days when it was the wild west so it’s interesting to see the story of a few guys who helped change it into a legitimate commercial arena. seeing a film about 15th century france, on the other hand, doesn’t have nearly the same degree of relevance for me.

luke wilson has moments of very good acting and he steps outside of his comfort zone. kudos to him. he didn’t nail it, but he did a good job.
