A very good movie

I already saw this movie but it was such a long time ago and since I had it on DVD, I was really eager to check it out again. Back then, before I watched it the first time around, I kept hearing some really good things about this movie and I was eventually seriously impressed by the damned thing. Obviously, because of the Star Wars prequel, Hayden Christensen always had a terrible reputation but, after watching this flick, I'm not sure if it is actually deserved. Indeed, he proved here that he definitely can act as he delivered a really strong performance and the rest of the cast was pretty good as well. In fact, I'm usually not really a big fan of true stories but this one was just a fascinating. Indeed, how someone could get away with manufacturing stories for such a prestigious paper? It shows that the main character had some kind of mental disorder but, at the same time, that he was also really intelligent. You can say whatever you want about the guy but Christensen completely managed to display all the complex layers of this messed-up character, he did a terrific job and I hope some day he gets another shot with another interesting character. Anyway, to conclude, it is really an underrated gem and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
