actually a pretty fun film with a good leading performance.
its not anything more then just good, i think the brothers dick and max we're definitly a bit underdeveloped.
but its great to see old micheal keaton in a good film that isn't birdman.
also its so weird to see a story of a place you work at unfold.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp, propulsive portrait of one man's ruthless climb to the top, watching a smooth-talking salesman methodically dismantle and absorb the business of the brothers who made his fortune possible. It's infuriating by design, a study in how ambition and corporate machinery can turn invention into exploitation.
