Lots of golf, not much movie
This film was of particular interest to me and our family, as well as several close friends, as we knew the real life brothers as they grew up. So we were really hoping the movie would be successful. Unfortunately, we all agreed it was dreadful. It was very slow moving, the dialog was leaden, the acting mediocre. The previous comments emphasized that this was a case of the government waging a vendetta against these youthful entrepreneurs. Maybe so. But you have to keep in mind that the screenplay was written by, and the film was produced by, Craig Frankel. He was the real life older brother. So, obviously, this was a "he says, he says" kind of situation. In addition, after paying the big fine to the government, both boys had millions left to themselves. Neither of them will ever have to work again if they don't want to. The film made it appear as if the older brother just went along for the ride. The younger, brash, fast talking brother was made to be the villain of the piece. I wonder how the brothers are getting along these days.
Wall Street for Main Street
Chasing the Green is "Wall Street" for "Main Street". It is a very well acted, told and directed story of 2 brothers who start with high school educations and a good dose of greed and ambition and succeed in building a very successful business enterprise only to collide with the might and power of a petty government bureaucrat. In light of our current economic situation it is a great primer on the the excesses of the individual and the government and the impact of that conflict on the players and by-standers . Good acting and good direction make for an entertaining movie experience. This is Russ Emanuel's second feature, after P.J., and showcases his growth as a director.
Great film, great soundtrack
This is a very entertaining movie, especially if you remember the '90s. It's a reminder of how exciting things were back then, with the new tech and before things went crazy here. The soundtrack is first-rate, and Jeremy London is fantastic, as is Ryan Hurst and William Devane. In fact, there are no weak performances. The film deals with two brothers who basically took on the business world and came out winners, which ticked off the big boys in the industry, who came after them with guns blazing. Devane is wonderful, as always. Any chance to see this great actor should be taken advantage of. And Heather McComb is lovely as always. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it that much more interesting. A really entertaining film, you won't be disappointed!
Chasing the Green is a film that encapsulates the financial time we are living today.
Chasing the Green is simply one of the best subject films out today. The story and the entire content is completely contemporary with todays corporate financial and government crossover issues. The acting is superb and the direction and production was captivating. I recommend this film to anyone who wants a behind the scene look at what corporate and government issues in finance can really be like. The casting of this motion picture is also excellent. William Devane was completely believable as the agent representing the FTC and Ryan Hurst was amazing! Commenting on the locations for shooting this film must not be overlooked. Clearly, the producers went to great lengths so create the precise mood for developing a start-up company with all of the entrapments small businesses run in to while developing into corporate giants. Again, this is a film that made a big impression on me as I discovered just how businesses on the way up, can easily over step boundaries unintentionally.
Another great film from the team that borough you P.J.
As I said before and I will say it again, I love films of all types. This includes "Chasing the Green," which I saw at the Park City Film Music Festival and now seems to be headed for the big screen in a month, from the same team that brought us "P.J." Unlike "P.J.", "Chasing the Green" is based on a true story and it has more comedic elements. Starring Jeremy London of "Party of Five", Ryan Hurst from "Remember the Titans", William Devane of "24", along with "P.J." alums Patricia Rae and Robert Picardo, it's a non-stop ride of the likes of "Wall Street." It's about two young brothers who succeed in the cell phone market only to be unfairly brought down by the Federal Trade Commission. Beyond that, so i won't give anything away, I will only say, you won't be disappointed if you see this film.
