If you think about it, the story is just a mishmash of ideas strung together into a boring film that spends too much time setting up the climax without actually justifying it, and then the movie just ends quickly with no resolution. Plus the entire story can only be reasoned via the main character having unlimited finances. Hella plot holes throughout with no explanation and plot devices that a 3yo can see through.
Pointless into scene with kids... the movie could exist without. Super rich guy goes to magical retreat to get a magical medicine (not over the counter btw) that "poisons" people in some unknown way that makes them tell the truth and is exasperated by adrenaline (not making this up) and causes death if too much is ingested. All we know is that he is a great poker player and he is dying from cancer. And he and his friend created some program that is used by the govt (justifies being rich, as if the govt would just pay a single person trillions of dollars for software). All bur one of his friends are horrible people that have wronged him in some way... one is sleeping with his wife and got her pregnant (problem is never resolved btw), another is a politician that arranged to have his crazy brother steal millions worth of art in front of everyone (hello police??! Jeez), another is trying to steal his fortune when he dies by setting up a trust, and another is planning on committing suicide in his living room. So what does the main character do? Rewards them all with $5mil each after they didn't have any faith in his company and no care for him as a friend. Only the RZA is a decent guy..... and he's black! So take THAT racism!! (Movie was made by Australians, so you get the real irony here if you know Australians!)
Not to mention, dude's friend sacrificed dude's employee (at the gate) so he doesn't get caught cheating on his wife. Smfh. I mean, this movie makes no sense.... not a single character is likeable except for the RZA.
