Reaction: Wow! Astounding numbers for a small drama about a game show controversy with no A-listers. Sometimes all you have to do is make a solid film and people will show up (granted it goes the opposite direction just as often).
"Wyatt Russell shows he's that he can be a capable leading man with his captivating performance here. He doesn't have to carry the film with the talented supporting cast he has around him, but he shows the ability to do so." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"I think that the material could be made into a strong film, but I don't think director Bennett Miller or writer Chad Taylor really give enough of an insight into Michael Larson's mindset. They give us the facts about his life, but I don't feel like we really get to know him." - Josh Manning, NY Daily News
"Bennett Miller has always excelled at these true life stories featuring quirky main characters. Overall, the film is a good one, although it goes on autopilot here and there." - Madison Bennett, Vanity Fair
