Bill Pullman stars as the title character Rick, a mean spirited businessman who does not care who he has to step on or what he has to do in order to get ahead.
The movie starts when he goes overboard with an interviewee (Sandra Oh)one day and not only insults her, but costs her her current job as well. He shows little regard for her and she loses it and "curses" him. Of course, from this point forward, he seems to have bad luck, but nothing too abnormal. At least not for awhile.
I did not care for this movie because it made you sit through some pretty boring drivel and it does not pay off in the end. In fact, it becomes pretty predictable. I also got a bit of an incestuous vibe from Pullman's character and that of his daughter, Eve, played by Agnes Bruckner (who is very beautiful and probably the best thing about this movie). This does not seem to have any purpose, therefore does not sit well with me, either. Also, too many coincidences to make the movie as unbelievable as it is boring. Pullman does not pull off the performance you would expect here and to be honest, I really can not recommend it. I give this movie 4 out of 10.
