Very flawed. Protagonist is miscast — deliberately older than the real person, also unlikable when the real person, shown in flashes, does seem likable. Instead of someone who inspires us with the message anything is possible with persistence even for older people (60 isn’t old anymore) Nayad comes across as a narcissist who doesn’t really care about others. The plot is repetitious and totally predictable, with zero suspense, dialogue full of boring cliches. The background music, made up of hits from the sixties and seventies, is cheap. The movie is an example of the constant lowering of standards of contemporary movie production.

Great movie with a theme reminiscent of “Blow up” and “The Magus” — what’s more significant, illusion or reality, what happens or how you perceive it? Great suspense with unexpected twists, and a cool ending. Great acting by all, especially Mcoughnahee.. A cool movie!
