Likes : "Why would a best selling author go into hiding?" When a motivational book takes the world by storm. An actor, convict, mobster, and a rapper all swear by the book. Everyone is trying to find out just who the mysterious writer really is. Teddy (Berenger), the author has gone into hiding. When young reporter Roger (Astin) finds him he is the one that tries to motivate Teddy to revel himself.
This wasn't what i was expecting but it was ok, its pretty much explains itself as a drama film, it dosent just focus on one point of the film with a plot it focus on different people that have had their life changed by this book as it focus on take life for what is & take that step forward that that courage to move forward despite the fear, which is clever message really in real life, because so many people fear what they don't know or have fear it consumes them they don't take that chances of courage to make something of themselves, which is a sutal message i this film which i liked because in some way its inspiring to take your life & be better.
I would say this is not a film for everyone just depends on weather you like inspirational drama film's, although its slight weak in some place's it not a bad film, but still flawed.
Dislikes : The uk description on the DVD cover of this film is misleading, in curtain ways like with the casting this film has when it says it high octane & highly entertaining this description is a little over hyping the film plus saying this is a thriller it paints the film as Action thriller but viewing the film its nothing of the sort, as this is a slightly entertaining drama film that it really i was dispointed as it still a ok film, but i was expecting more from this film.
Overall : Great Acting, good inspirational message in the film, weak on plot without story-line.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 entertainment / 6.2 out of 10 for concept.
