OK. I watched this and Suing the Devil over the last few days. I was looking for something really interesting, but in the end, both these films by the same director have a flavour of religion in them, which, for me, does not impress. It's pretty obvious Chen is a believer, so my research confirms.Acting: terrible. Music: disastrous. Destroyed any points to be made. But can we solve the world's problem? Some interesting questions within the appalling acting. Who am I? A very important question. Does it solve the problems? It can, but you need a driver to encourage this. What stops us from always looking at self? it's amazing not one 'genius' brought this up, even Chen to omit it in the script. Money. Money is the most oppressive measure that stop from understanding who we are. If we valued the quality of people, and not think to give it a price, we would always want to create the best, not the worst for the highest price. Time and resources are scarce, but what we can do with them is abundant. Money doesn't and can' represent people or wealth. Only what people create does. Money owns people, so give it up and own yourself.I could expound here, but to not bring up money in this films totally inept, considering the object matter. Believing in God is not going to solve the world's problem. Knowing you are a god is far more valuable for you to know. it's true, so get used to it, and act like one.

I cried the whole time, the movie made me look at myself. I loved how they used very different people from different cultures and the acting was stupendous! Its a great movie for everyone to see though it does have some violence and language but they don't exactly spell it out. I liked the drama it made the movie so realistic and also repeatable. The ending it's self was so sad it made me cry. It lists things that people today don't even come to think that these things a problem. It tests everyone. Who Am I? What Is the meaning of life. Why is everything happening? I choose this movie to be 10 out of 10 stars because of the reality relativity drama action and It's a great Christian movie.So guys go watch the movie!

After watching this film one thing I was left with was a feeling of tremendous euphoria, a glowing feeling which lasted well into the next morning. I could not help but think that this collage of events in the lives of 7 genius people in winter DC was realism. Not the harsh gritty realism of 'Taxi Driver', but a different realism. This movie is who we are, as people. This movie chronicles the emotions we may have when confronted with a persistent terrorist who actually understands the world's problems. And the acerbic intelligence of the script is tempered with director Altman's stunning technical virtuosity.The style is very pastiche, and one scene cuts to another, as the title suggests, with reckless abandon. This lends a very fresh and watchable quality to what is by any standards a long film.

This film was, in my opinion, exciting, thrilling, and an overall entertaining film to watch. It delivered the necessary chills, to keep its audiences fully awake, and engaged."Genius" does benefit from its moody atmosphere, which may cover up any of the film's shortcomings. Towards the end, it does lose pace a little bit as things seem to be spiraling down the haunted house route, but quickly regains momentum as it draws to a close especially Baldwin's monologue about his dying mom. I know that despite its flaws, I was glued to the seat and really "in" the film's tight tension, which thankfully doesn't let up.I can't remember the last time I've been surprised by a movie's final twist, but "The Genius Club" has an ending that I didn't see coming at all. This thriller is the most original piece of independent film-making since "Cube". I'm really looking forward to seeing how Tim Chey's 'Suing the Devil' measures to this.
