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!
... View MoreBefore watching this movie, I had nearly no idea who Tim Chey was. I read a quick summary a few minutes before watching it, but I hardly knew any specific details. After watching it, I know exactly who he is, and what he stands for. He stands for freedom of speech. Freedom of thought. Some might call the film too intellectual. Others call it a patriot movie. I believe he is the latter. While I don't know the exact story of Armand the terrorist's motives from any other sources than this movie, I don't know if it's completely accurate. The plot is great, for a thriller piece, the acting is superb, by most actors, especially the three main characters. Most of the cinematography fits the movie perfectly. The only thing that bothered me a little, was there was relatively little information about why Armand (tom sizemore) did what he did, believed what he believed so strongly. I sympathized with his character in several scenes, but I never fully understood him. Chey should have had at least a few more emotional scenes with Armand, to explain his actions better. Overall, a very good drama. Recommendable to most fans of the genre, as long as they can stand what the movie shows them. If you have an open mind, you're not too easily offended and you're into super intelligent mind-blowing dramas, this is a good film to watch. 8/10
... View MoreThis film was ignored by critics when it was first released, and to this day, I have absolutely no idea why.One critic from LA Weekly apparently got the message and knew it was a great movie.Perhaps its because it discussed God too much. This is the most important question to mankind, don't you think? I'm not going to go too much into the story as many others have, but the performance of Stephen Baldwin was fantastic. Never knew he could act like this - not sure why his performance wasn't singled out, which just further goes to show the naivety of the critics.Genius Club is worthy of your time, and I am not surprised that people are finally discovering it and realising that its not the failure that critics would have you believe.
... View MoreI really enjoyed "Genius Club." It was a wonderful, satiric (take your pick: black comedy/crime drama/mystery). The acting was tremendous. Tom Sizemore was fantastic and his performance was definitely Oscar-worthy. The movie itself pushed the lines between arguing the truth and arguing the facts. With 7 big intelligence intellectuals! Although the movie was never clear on whether Sizemore really meant to blow up the world, the movie was actually more enjoyable because of its ambiguity. The tactics used by his character were very convincing and plausible. One thing I must complain about was the addition of the professor into the film, which wasn't very well done. Otherwise, fun for the whole family, if your family is a sardonic, evil, emotionless wreck.
