   Not good. I highly DO NOT recommend. The only good thing: the acting was very good. John Malcovich does not disappoint. The movie overall does disappoint. One of the last lines of the movie sums it all up. It said the whole thing is a big cluster F$%*. And that’s about what it was. Not enough laughs either.
